We had an amazing time in Pollina. The house is located in a perfect place. Great views of sunsets. Refreshing cooler breezes after a day on the beach. Also a perfect "home" to start exploring the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily. We went to Palermo on one side and the Aeolian islands from the other side. All easily accessible from Pollina. But our favorite part was the village of Pollina itself. Great people. Bar duomo and the pizzeria by the castle were amazing.
If you are thinking of a week in Sicilia I'd recommend Barbara as a host :)
