This is a very spacious, secure, private and comfortable villa with amazing views out over the sea. The area of Ficarazzi is not much to look at, but the villa is very conveniently placed for driving into Palermo and for getting out onto the motorway to explore the west or east of the island. It is clearly one of the nicest villas in the area and was good value. We did not meet the owner, but the manager was very communicative and gave us great recommendations for Palermo parking and sights. There are some lovely restaurants nearby including La Martinica, Gallo D'Oro and Colapisce over in Aspra, only a few moments drive away. There is also a huge Conad supermarket close by. This is a great base for exploring but also a great spot for rest and relaxation with privacy and direct access to the beach. There are many security cameras onsite, making you feel safe. It is worth checking with the owner if the building work next door is finished, they were building a house when we visited but it only bothered us for three of our seven days. Thank you Vito and Toni!
