If you are planning to visit the North West of Sicily this is the perfect spot to be! We stayed at Francoise and Claire's villa for 5 days with a group of 9 people.

Villa: The villa is amazing; spacious and modern with all the facilities and equipment you can think of. Name one.. it will be there :) The pool and the garden are probably the highlights, but everything else is really studied in maximum detail. Claire is a great host, very well organized and always available to reply to any questions in a very short time. She also has lots of suggestions on what to do once there. Vitalba, the girl taking direct care of the villa, is equally nice, always available. Her husband Nino helped us out on couple of occasions giving us rides.

Area: Very close to probably the best beaches in Sicily but still close enough to Palermo. The villa is 7 min away by car from Castellammare del Golfo, a lively, decently populated center where you can find restaurants, shops and even rent boats. We rented 2 small boats one day to visit Scopello and the Zingaro! Really recommend it! The villa is also 45 min drive from the amazing beach of San Vito lo Capo and from Trapani where you can potentially organize a day trip to the Egadi islands.

All in all, I really recommend the villa and area. We had an amazing time!

Filippo and friends.
