Giovanni’s villa is a short drive up a winding mountain road from the beautiful city of Cefalu. It is quite easy to find if you use the grid coordinates that Giovanni supplies you with. A lot has been said about the pool and outside kitchen area and this does not disappoint. The house and gardens show some signs of age however the handyman who lives nearby promptly fixes any issues. You will need a car to make the most of the location. There are some breathtaking villages and sights to see within a couple of hours’ drive. The sun sets at Cefalu beach are amazing.
Giovanni’s local knowledge is extensive and he was more than willing to help with sourcing dough to make pizzas on the villa’s pizza oven and anything else we required. Overall we had a fantastic stay and thank Giovanni for being an attentive host.
