Wow. What an incredible holiday we had! We arrived in the early hours of the morning due to a flight delay and it was no problem and the hosts happily showed us how everything worked. The villa is just stunning, we spent the majority of the days in the pool with our three children- 10, 8 and 4. The steps going the full width of the pool means they could all stand up at some point which was incredibly helpful! Any time a gardener had to come we were given plenty of notice by the hosts also. The stairs in the house do not have a rail on one of the sides, but with our children the ages they are it was not a problem for us. I canât fault our holiday at all and will definitely be returning!
The photos donât tell the story. This villa is stunning
I have to start with a criticism- the photos on VRBO are awful . However I saw the potential and took a chance. The difference in reality was massive- the extensive grounds, terraces(plural) the pool area, and the view, the brand new large âcasitaâ style area for shade , external shower and drinking fountain , the two sweeping curved steps to the terraces, the shady outside dining area and I could go and on. If anyone needs photos I have hundreds of stunning sunny photos. The pool is HUGE and a covered casita at its side meant my wife could sit for hours whilst the rest of us sunned ourselves. The inside of the villa was charmingly old fashioned- old rich coloured maple floors and seventies/eighties furniture. We started out with our bedroom upstairs but quickly moved to the downstairs bedroom as it was hugely cooler. Perhaps in hindsight it could use some more kitchen equipment but it didnât affect our enjoyment. the villa is in the process of an other double bedroom and en-suite so for next year look out for this if you are a party of eight. We loved the area - we went up into the mountains behind the villa - the Madonie mountains and were delighted to see wild boar and their many piglets , hundreds of deer, hundreds of different types of butterflies, lizards and then to top off the day Golden Eagles soaring above us. Castelbuono and the mountain top town Pollina are both gorgeous medieval towns and well worth a visit to both. Cefalu was also charming and very worthy of a day visit. But mostly we stayed and gently baked and ate Fiorentina steak on the garden grill. Happy days and a huge thank you to Mariella and her daughter Taziana
