Antonio and his wife met us at the villa, showed us around and left us a lovely gift basket of food and wine. The villa was large and furnished in authentic Italian style and was a very comfortable place for our group of five people. The outside space was amazing--the pool and seating areas overlooked the sea so it was great spending time outside. A car is definitely needed and will get you to shops and restaurants in the area of Palermo or Mondello easily. Great place to stay!
