This beautiful villa is just like in the photos- and extremely clean and light. It is just back from the coast on a private estate making it calm and quiet, surrounded by mountains, but very close to the seaside towns with great restaurants and lots of ancient sites- don't miss Monreale, Erice and if you like a walk- the Zingaro National reserve , where you can dip down from the path into one of several coves to take a swim- although in August you can expect them all to be very busy. Watch out for the very narrow streets of the seaside towns- we got stuck in one trying avoid the road closures during a local festival , but despite attracting a large crowd, some old chaps arguing over the front of our car, and speaking next to no Italian, we had help from the locals who squeezed us round a tight corner, avoiding a car parked blocking the corner, a one way street and a flight of steps... all with a happy friendly end.
Eugenio and his family were extremely welcoming, despite us turning up a lot later than originally intended, with great information on the local area, and good communication before and during.
We would highly recommend this property.
