We arrived late and in the dark due to a delayed fligh and our host could not have been more helpful or accomodating. He even came out in his car to find us when we got lost! There was a delicious welcoming meal provided for us when we did finally get to the villa. The information he provided on local attractions and facilities was very useful. He was even able to give us the name of an excellent osteopath who treated my wife's bad back.
Our hosts extended family live next door and they very friendly and helpful.
Balada Di Baida is a very quiet village with few facilities but it is a short drive to all the important sights in the north west of Sicily. The bar in the village has the best cassatelle in Sicily.
The view from the terrace is even better than the photos show.
If you love peace and quiet and are happy to drive rather than walk when you go out then this is the place for you!
