We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at this great villa. The sprawling villa felt like authentic Sicily from the quirky narrow driveway approach until the gates opened to manicured botanical garden like grounds on the the Tyrrhenian coast. Great sitting areas around the Villa grounds were conducive to relaxing and enjoying the great wine and food of Sicily outside while the waves were breaking below. The hostess and her helpers were ultra responsive from meeting us and guiding us to the property and conducting a through orientation. They also were very helpful with matching us with a chef for a special birthday celebration, local drivers and a restaurant recommendations. A nice surprise was the indoor outdoor restaurant right above the property. A thoughtful welcome package with food essentials was appreciated and saved us a trip to the grocery store on our arrival. The property was well equipped and very clean multiple bedrooms with roof top decks provided ample privacy for 6 of us in this case. Although the town of Santa Flavia is not really a destination it was convenient for day trips to Cefalù, Palermo’s beaches and the ruins and wine country around Segesta if you have your own car. Had a great time at this Sicilian Villa and enjoyed interacting with the hostess and staff.
