We spent 4 days in Villa Capo Zafferano in September as a party of 6 people using 4 bedrooms. We had plenty of room - made good use of the kitchen and BBQ facilities and spent a lot of time on the sun terrace. The villa is well away from the road and, although close to other houses, feels secluded in the trees with wonderful views of bay. You can walk straight down to swim from the rocks or walk 5 minutes to a small beach with a cafe and sun loungers.
The hose was clean, well furnished and decorated with good showers and comfortable beds.
Our host’s representative was helpful and efficient. He did not speak any English and we were pleased we had someone with us who spoke Italian. Make sure you get clear instructions on how to find the villa – do not rely on the directions link from the Airbnb website.
The nearest restaurant is 25 mins walk down the main road, with some steep hills on the way back. There is a supermarket and other cafes further on in Sant’Elia – about 10 minutes drive. We found a good fish restaurant in Porticello – another 5 minutes drive away.
We visited Palermo by driving to Santa Flavia station and taking the train – an easy journey.
I would recommend Villa Capo Zafferano to a group wanting rest and relaxation by the sea with the possibility of visiting some of the sights on the north coast.
