The villa is new, clean, superb view, quiet. Only condition is you MUST rent a car for your access in Sicily. Public transports are not convenient and also very costly, the only transport to reach the villa is by taxi, most taxi are not willing to travel to Altavilla Milicia as its out of town area, unless u pay more.
Eg. From Palermo Bus Central Terminal to the villa cost €80 for 8 of us (after bargained),
Fr Catania airport the taxi quoted €400 (for 8px). As the distance fr Catania Airport to the villa is approx. 190km (approx 2hrs travelling time)
No train / metro service near the villa, if you opted for train, u may need to walk with your luggage approx. 3km or more fr train station to the villa.
The best access is still by bus fr Catania Airport to Palermo Bus Terminál and change to taxi transfer direct to the villa.
If your arrival airport is at Palermo, it will be nearer to the villa.
Our bad experience was the boiler / heater, there was no hot shower after a long day out.
During our 3 days in the villa, we bought some groceries and home cook most of the meals in the villa but missed out some excursions which are further away from the villa.
