Lovely, fun property. pool is small (plunge pool) but ideal and essential if visiting in the summer months, the sea can be quite choppy and is a short climb down across rocks…..great for kids! less so for oldies. not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and Erica (point of contact) was a delight. Recycling was a tad confusing (as it was at the villa we had the week prior to this) and not sure why the Italians use such small recycle bags (more plastic!) but hey ho. cant really fault it overall, i'd just suggest better recycling bins, a purpose built section in the kitchen (there is space for multiple fixed bins) to help remind and make easier for the younger teenagers (!!) what goes in what bag rather than having multiple bags strewn across the floor rather that the teens inevitably chucking in randomly. Highly recommend a hike up the hills behind the villa (turn right out of the villa, 250m on left is the entrance), wonderful walks views etc. go early to avoid afternoon heat of course. Bagheria historical centre nice, decent cafe (Bar Ester charming staff and decent pastries), shopping and the historical villa Palagonia to visit…...and easy to get train into Palermo which was charming (historical centre only!) 9mins. Cefalu 50mins drive but very busy in summer but worth a visit for later in the day for evening meal etc.The only other suggestion/ request to the host's would be a chest of draws or similar in the master bedroom upstairs. limited head height (eaves). fab.x
