Just wonderful! That´s what we thought when we arrived at Barbaras and Andreas house in Pollina!
Communication with Barbara was very easy and we meet Salfina after arriving, who showed us the house and the village. The house is really on the top of the village, so we had a great view from the balcony, just as indicated on the photo. The house is very spacious and we found everything we needed for a our stay. The house has no Internet, but actually we found it a bit of a relief.
Pollina is a very beautiful village with (for us) surprisingly a lot history (founding story of Miss Pollina and Mister Ayub who felt in love and settled down here). It is very close to the beach (ca. 20 minutes car drive) and has everything you need (mini market, restaurant, bar and gelateria, pharmacy, atm). If you like it a bit more touristic, Cefalu is close (ca. 45 minutes by car) and offers a lot of shops, bars and restaurants.
A car here is essential, and we would recommend to rent a small car and park it a bit more downhill when arriving for the first time to check out the situation as some streets are very narrow. We were always lucky and found a parking space about 8 minutes walk down the hill close to the police station (don´t worry, 8 minutes walk is really ok even in summer as Pollina has a very nice refreshing breeze).
We would love to come back!
