Great place
My family and I had a great stay. As others have mentioned the villa is divided into separate apartments of different sizes, visit the owners website for floorplans to the units. There is also a unit typically used as a common space which worked very well. The configuration meant if some of the family wanted to take a break, they could and if you were a group of friends you each had your own areas to escape to complete with your own full kitchen. The owners do rent out the individual units on their own so they are completely self-contained.
There are activities everywhere on the property from Bocce, table tennis, the real tennis court, to the very nice pool and deck area. There are racquets and balls for all the sports along with lots of pool toys.
As our trip drew closer, communication from the owners was great. We had three family members sending us messages at various times with different bits of information. All questions were answered quickly. The owners also make sure you are clear on the extra charges for air conditioning and linens. Note, these are payable in cash so have some euros in hand. Elena was on site most days and would check in with us to make sure everything was okay, her father would come by every so often with a smile and a hello and the cleaning staff were there first thing in the morning to clean the pool and make sure everything was in order for your day. There was no real issues we had and I'm sure if there had been anything it would have been quickly dealt with.
The owners also organized a chef to cook for us one night. This was a highlight of the trip and we would recommend anyone visiting to take advantage of the opportunity. The chef is top-notch. He is the head chef at a culinary school, and the Sicilian food he made for us was perfect.
If we're back to Sicily I happily stay at Casa Galo again.
