A wonderful Villa with an excellent outdoor entertainment area.
We were an English speaking party of three adults and three children under 12 who stayed at Villa Adele for two weeks in July to August 2017. The tempreture at night was in the 20s and in the day was in the high 30s
The Villa has good access to the expressway with about 50 minutes by car to Ceflu and about 30 minutes by car to Palmero. The nice little waterfront village of San Nicola L'Arena is about 10 minutes by car and a pebble beach about 6 minutes away. We visited the Forum mall a number of times, this was a modern mall with nice shops and an excellent large Supermarket located about 20 minutes away in the direction of Palermo. There were many tourist attractions within driving distance. We believe that a car was a necessity for transport. If you hire a car our recommendation is to hire the smallest car that you are comfortable with because off the expressway roads are narrow, parking can be difficult and the driving can be stressful to visitors.
Communication was easy. Marina welcomed us to the Villa and took time to explain all about the Villa and to give us information about points of interest and resturants nearby. We also received a basket of condiments to welcome us.
The Villa was located on a large block of ground with a very good inground pool and a good lawn area. The Villa was a spacious brick two stories building with high ceilings. There were six good sized, well furnished bedrooms, a large tiled full bathroom/ toilet on each floor and a separate large tiled complete toilet on each floor. The kitchen and dining/lounge were adequate for us but not large. The Villa had a large number of plates, bowls, glasses, pots pans etc. and cooking equipment. The Villa had airconditioning throughout. There was a large TV in the lounge/dining area. We found the free Wi-Fi to be very good. F
A highlight of the Villa was the outdoor entertainment area. There was a large kitchen with oven, BBQ and dishwasher, an undercover dining table (which could seat 10 to 12) and a comfortable lounge alongside. This was a great area which caught the breeze and was very comfortable. The associated inground large pool was a great asset with outdoor dining suite and lounge chairs. Also vendors selling fresh bread and some other food called around each day so that it was not necessary to go out each day.
We did have a few mosquitoes at night but we used coils to deter them. This whole outdoor area was great, especially for families and we used it all the time.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Villa Adele.
