Once you have found the property you will find yourselves in a real haven of relaxation. This is one of the best equipped Airbnbs we have stayed in. So nice that we gave up on culture to spend a lovely day relaxing in the garden overlooking the sea. The close beach isn’t the best but we did not come for a beach stay.
The train to Palermo is comfortable and a bargain. You can walk to the station or drive and there is plenty of parking. Don’t forget to buy your ticket in the Tabachi in the main street before you get to the station and validate it in the machine on the platform.
We did Cefalù of course (also doable by train) and drove over to the Zingaro Nature Reserve. The beaches there were very crowded mainly because they are so small. If I went again I would go for the lovely walk which is spectacular and have a swim near Scopello on the way back.
There is a supermarket nearby with all you need. Best facility is the ice cream and cake shop just 50 metres from the front gate. There is a hotel with a pool and restaurant but we didn’t try either.
Anna’s little house grew on us and all the nice touches made a big difference to our stay. Thoroughly recommended.
