BELLA VILLA

Fabio (Property Owner) answered all questions we had in a very timely manner. He is very personable and a pleasure to speak with. The villa pictures on line were a good representation, but even the villa is even more beautiful in person! Stunning views from each level of the villa and the pool was wonderful, clean and refreshing! All the bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage space. The open concept of the kitchen, eating area and family room were very spacious and flowed very nicely making you feel right at home! The outdoor covered eating area was also wonderful to enjoy! No internet problems. The propery managers, Luciano and Rosetta (they speak English and Italian) live in the town and greet you upon arrival at the villa to hand over the key and complete a walkthrough of the villa with you. They are such a sweet and kind couple and so accommodating answering your calls immediately! I look forwrd to staying at the villa again and a great big thank you to Fabio, Luciano and Rosetta for making us feel the comforts of home! Lisa

Lovely house

Lovely house and location. Very clean and well maintained inside and out with an excellent pool which was kept clean each day by Luciano and Rosetta. The pool and the air conditioning were both very welcome in the recent heat wave.

Calme et nature

Agréable villa avec un bel espace piscine et une jolie végétation. L’endroit est calme et reposant dans l’arrière pays de Palerme (40mn). Nous avons passé un bon séjour à 4 adultes et 6 enfants.
