Rosella's place is in a quiet residential area and the car park and the living areas are protected by a locked gate so it felt very safe. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and this has to one of the most lovely swimming pools in the world. It is deep - at least 1.5 metres at the shallow end, so you can dive into it, and there is a frangipani tree growing next to it so you swim through perfumed flowers. I could easily have spent my whole trip in the garden! Rosella was extremely helpful about things to see in Palermo and locally and helped me to find taxis when I needed them. The local town has a wonderful ice cream/granita place which is open until 11.30, a great place to pick up a dessert to eat for a leisurely walk back.
