Flora's Chalet was the most perfect escape from our stressfull life back home we could have wished for. We felt instantly comfortable and at home, the place was absolutely clean and all the small details made it perfect - you could really feel the love Flora put in this place. The kitchen provides everything you need and the whirlpool is just amazing. The garden is a magical place, but be aware of Mosquitos! But also for this issue, Flora provided sufficient insect repellent products for us to use in the chalet.
We rented a car at Palermo airport, driving was at first really overwhelming (it feels like the complete opposite to German streets), but after a while, you get totally used to it and even appreciate the relaxed way of Sicilian drivers. Flora provides you a private parking space in front of the Chalet's gate. For tours to Palermo, we took the train from Bagheria station (half an hour walking distance) - the train tickets were super cheap and the train connection was fast (around 15 Minutes to Palermo Central), the trains themselves were brand new and absolutely clean - we totally recommend them if you don't want to visit Palermo by car. But for reaching other places, a car is indespensable. But also Bagheria itself provides a lot of restaurants and bars within a 10-15 minute walk from the chalet and is a place worth visiting on its own.
We were mostly in contact with Flora's friend Christina, who was also absolutely lovely and answered all our questions regarding the chalet and its surroundings and provided us with great recommendations for restaurants, bars or places to visit in the area. At the end of our trip, we briefly met christina in person and found that she was even more lovely in person. But not only our Airbnb hosts were more than kind to us, also the sicilian people we met on our journey were just super kind and welcoming and we were always greeted with a smile.
All in all we have spent some very relaxing and recharging days there and made some wonderful memories we would not have wanted to miss out on. Once again, we would like to thank Flora and Christina for making this a great and memorable vacation in a wonderful and magical place and we would definitely recommend the chalet for couples, who seek a romantic and peaceful sancturary, from which the north of Sicily can be explored.
