Casale Orioles is located downstream of the village of Torretta, 15km from Palermo, immersed in the tranquility of the typical Sicilian countryside. The property is located in an ideal position for connections as it is 4km from the junction of the highway that connects to Punta Raisi airport (16km), 4km from the shopping center Poseidon of Carini and just 5 km from the beautiful beach of Capaci.
On YouTube, typing Casale Orioles, you can view the video presentation of our structure.
This was our second visit to Orioles so I think this says it all! The apartment is as described and we love the location. It is quiet and peaceful yet very close to the highway, the seaside, the city of Palermo, shopping and more. We have become familiar with the area and enjoy being here very much!
Visiting off season this time, we had issues with the outdoor and veranda lighting being turned off. Usually on a timer, it was very dark returning from dinner on our first night. It was remedied the second day except that the automatic lighting was set for summer hours, not fall so it was dark when we returned home again; the lights simply came on later. By the third day, the timer was appropriately adjusted to the earlier nightfall. Also, the internal hall light didn't work making it challenging to unlock the apartment door in the dark. And finally, the automatic lighting was turned off on our last full day rather than the day of our departure, leaving us in the dark to load the car at 4:30am to catch an early morning flight. Giuseppe was always very responsive to us, and perhaps there are few guests out of season but the lighting, and lack of, was frustrating at times.
Despite the lighting issues we experienced, we were familiar with the accommodation and the area so we enjoyed our brief one-week visit.
Quiet bucolic country setting conveniently located
Giuseppe, our host, was very welcoming and friendly. He gave us a lot of information, recommendations of places to see, travel advice and delicious local restaurants. The kitchen is simply equipped but has all the basics. A European full-size refrigerator is a plus. The kitchen/living area and bedroom were fairly large and comfortable. The large screened windows allowed a lot of light and night breezes.
The location is convenient: 4 kilometers gets you to local small shops as well as a substantial mall which includes a large supermarket. Adjacent to the mall is the autostrada - you can be in Palermo in 30 minutes or Trapani in less than an hour. So thereâs lots to do within day trip driving distance. Several beautiful beaches are within 20 minutes.
There are also a number of good restaurants nearby, and Giuseppe gave us several maps and highlighted some excellent choices.
Sitting out on the stone veranda was peaceful, and the olive and lemon trees, as well as enormous prickly pear cactus trees are simply beautiful. The backdrop of several mountains is just breathtaking, and having a glass of wine while the sun sets and the moon rises is a memory I will always treasure!
If you want great views and quiet countryside this is the place for you. A very nice host, a nice villa with a good kitchen area and nice comfortable bed. The seating area was nice too to spend your evening. Would highly recommend this.

Perfect location.
3 apartment in one detached bungalow villa. Ample veranda space and outside areas. Barbecue. Interior nicely decorated, looks as if it's been done recently. Air conditioning. Kitchen basic, water very hot. Our apartment was very dark due to small windows. The location was excellent for Palermo by bus or motorway, and the whole coastline. Giuseppe was very helpful and responds immediately to all communications. Mosquitoes around the villa so you will need to spray frequently.
Eine sehr gepflegte und ruhge Anlage auf einem NaturgrundstĂŒck
Ein idealer Ort um Palermo und die Umgebung zu erkunden und anschlieĂend die Ruhe des Olivengartens zu genieĂen. Das Appartment war mit allem was wir brauchten gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Giuseppe hat einen tollen Service geboten, war sehr hilfsbereit und gab viele gute Tipps. Es lag sogar eine Sizilienkarte und ein (fĂŒr uns deutscher) ReisefĂŒhrer bereit. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt und die Abende auf der Veranda genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Herzlichen Dank.

Deze vakantiewoning was zeer mooi verzorgd! Het huisje heeft een mooie ligging en je bent niet ver van de autosnelweg verwijderd. De eigenaar is zeer vriendelijk en ontzettend behulpzaam! Hij bood bij aankomst heel wat informatie aan en dat in vloeiend Engels.
De keukenuitrusting mocht wat uitgebreider zijn (vb: aantal drinkglazen, kookpotten...)
Ons zoontje sliep op de slaapbank in de keuken, wat op zich geen probleem is. Maar er is geen verduistering aanwezig waardoor het 's morgens al heel vroeg licht is op de kamer.
Een zwembad zou van deze vakantiewoning een perfect verblijf maken.
We hebben genoten van een week in dit vakantiehuis. Het terras is zalig om te vertoeven...
This place is amazing. It was everything that was promised in the description. The owner is so nice and the location is perfect. Its between Palermo and Trapani. Seriously, this is a wonderful place to stay.
Fantastische locatie in landelijke omgeving en toch dichtbij uitvalswegen en bezienswaardigheden.
De woning is compleet, schoon en netjes verzorgd. De buitenruimte ziet er echt uit zoals op de foto's. De eigenaar Giuseppe doet erg zijn best om je als gast welkom te voelen. Hoewel we een tweeslaapkamer appartement hadden gereserveerd bleek er bij aankomst maar een slaapkamer te zijn. Giuseppe stelde echter meteen alles in het werk om de slaapbank in orde te maken zodat we toch over twee aparte ruimtes konden beschikken. Prima opgelost.
Verder een aantal extra's, zoals een wasmachine (zelfs het wasmiddel was aanwezig) als ook shampoos, zeepjes etc. Met zorg voorbereid.
Een absolute aanrader en zeker de moeite waard om nog eens terug te komen. Het zou helemaal perfect zijn als er een zwembad aanwezig was, maar ook zonder dat hadden we een bijzonder aangenaam verblijf.
