This place is way better than the photos look. The backyard and garden is HUGE and the pool is enormous. There are so many wonderful places to be outside. Inside the house is fascinating and full of old treasures, photos, and art. If you're looking for a pristine, clean lined, 2022, minimalist house that could be anywhere, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a fascinating, beautiful, authentic stay then come here. The location is great. Quiet and yet near a grocery store, anything in Palermo, a short drive or bus from beaches, and nature reserves. We loved our stay. We were two families. My parents stayed upstairs and my husband, 16 month old, and I stayed downstairs. There's great space if you're two groups wanting to be together and still have your own space. The kitchen and outdoor cooking is great. There's fruit and succulents everywhere. I can't say enough. There's no AC an Sicily is hot in the summer/early September, but we still had a great stay. Keep the doors open at night (lights out so no bugs) and close them during the day and it will stay nice and cool. The family also brought us fans. Communication with hosts was great. The only negatives were mosquitos, which is Sicily at that time of year and can be dealt with with some candles and bug spray (which we left for the next folks) and that when we arrived there was no pepper, sugar, bottled water that was clearly for us. I would suggest stopping at the store or bringing something from the airport when you first arrive or that the hosts provide a few of those things to make the initial day more pleasant. Over all though it was wonderful and we would 100% go back next time we are in Sicily.
