We had a lovely stay in the 2nd floor apartment of Villa Carolina. It was spacious, clean, nice furniture, comfortable beds with quality bed linens and towels. It was one of the few apartments in Sicily with 3 bedrooms, which was exactly what we needed. We found that many others advertise 3 bedrooms, but have only two with a pull out sofa in the living room. It has a nice terrace, but no garden. It is about 500 metres from a rocky beach, which wasn't very nice if we'd wanted to swim, but the beach in Mondello is 2 km away with lovely sandy beaches, cafes and shops. We were there off season, which could also affect the number of shops and restaurants and other services which were available. The local grocery store had excellent proscciuto, mozarella, wine, fresh produce and very helpful staff.

Carolina was very hospitable and greeted us with Italian delicacies and fresh fruit. She was available for any questions and was a good host.
