About this house rental
The house is in the territory of Altavilla Milicia, a few kilometres away from Palermo and Monreale architectonic beauties (25km), along the coast that, passing through characteristic seaside villages such as Porticello, S. Elia, S. Nicola l’Arena and the evocative Punic ruins in Solunto, shows the prestigious and ancient villas of Bagheria (10km), and leads to the renowned Norman town of Cefalù (50km). 'Altavilla'offers you an absolute relax stay in a delicious and wide apartmnent, in my parents' villa, very well furnished in each detail, surrounded on greenery, with a splendid terrace with swimming-pool overlooking the sea, dominated by an ancient Norman tower.Just outside the apartment, a lovely terrace of 30 sqm with garden, the pool and the sea view. The pool measures 6X12mt, and is shared with me, my parents (we use it very little) and my sister's family (4 people: my nephews use more often the pool, my sister and my brother-in law a lot less) that has a house 60 mt far from the apartment. We have two dogs, affectionate and playful that, in presence of guests, are not free to wander around the property and are in spaces dedicated to them. The beach is about 1.5 km far, bar, market medium sized, banks, restaurants, pharmacy, post office and emergency medical service, are 3.5 km. Also, for those who wish, in the near fishing village of St. Nicola l'Arena you can rent boats with or without a driver for a tour of the suggestive coast which is in front of our house.

Our family stayed in this home for our second week of vacation after having stayed a fantastic and intense week in Rome. We were looking for a place to kickback, rest, relax and recharge. We were not disappointed in this fairly remote location. The rental property is far enough away from the intensity of Palermo (but still close enough to easily day trip there), while also being close to the coastline and to several beautiful beaches (including Cefalu). The rental is part of a larger well maintained and landscaped family property with several houses in proximity to each other. Giuseppe (the property manager) is very friendly, attentive, speaks English and provided us with useful information on nearby attractions and restaurants. The property is on a hillside overlooking the ocean. There is a large clean pool with a spacious sunny deck that our family looked forward to hanging out on after a day of exploring the coastline or the surrounding mountains. The property is quiet and I found myself torn between turning my deck chair to face the ocean or the dramatic mountainside behind the property. Either way it was a win win. After a week here we left reluctantly but were rested and ready to return to reality. Cheers

Situation calme pour ce logement entouré d'oliviers et de citronniers. Belle piscine avec vue sur la mer. A proximité de l'itinéraire Cefalu - Palerme -qui est facilement accessible en train-. Accueil sympathique et attentionné de Giuseppe. (loué du 5 au 8 juin 2019 - Both J.Pierre & Solange

Wir waren zu dritt 21 Tage im Ferienhaus.Meine Frau die jüngste Tochter und ich fühlten uns vom Zeitpunkt der Begrüßung wohl in dieser Umgebung.
Sehr nützlich im Haus war der portable Wärmestrahler in den ersten Tagen des Aprils, da besonders in den Abendstunden die Temperaturen im Haus merklich abkühlten.
Wie zugesagt, war der Pool geöffnet. Nach den ersten Sonnentagen stieg auch die Wassertemperatur an. Wir verbrachten unsere Ruhezeiten dann am und im Pool immer dann sobald die Sonne schien. Gepflegt und gesäubert wurde der Pool über die gesamte Zeit von Giuseppe selbst.Über Whatts App mit ihm verbunden konnten wir alle Anliegen und Wünsche in Englisch vorbringen , die dann zu unserer Zufriedenheit gelöst bzw. erfüllt wurden.
Der Blick aufs Meer( von den Fewo- Fotos vorher bekannt) ist von der Terasse und vom Pool in Natur noch viel schöner, sobald das italienische Licht ( il sole ) da ist.
Wir waren hierher gekommen um Palermo und die nähere Umgebung kennen zu lernen.Nach dem zweiten ganzen Tag in Palermo ( mit dem Auto hin und zurück sowie in der City gefahren ) gab Giuseppe uns den Tip den Zug von Altavilla Milicia bis Palermo das nächste Mal zu nehmen.Klappte dann auch wirklich gut. Kann ich jedem Besucher nur empfehlen es ebenso zu tun, aufgrund des unbeschreiblichen dichten Verkehrs dort.
So sind die drei Wochen in denen wir weitere Ziele nahe am Meer, sowie auch innerhalb Siziliens besuchten schnell vergangen.
Nochmals herzlichen Dank an Giuseppe für die liebenswerte
Betreuung in und an diesem herrlichen Platz der Welt.

Weve just spent a very relaxing 10 days here. Giuseppe was a fantastic host and extremely helpful from start to finish. He provided lots of really good suggestions for places to eat and visit.The villa is homely and very peaceful but you really do need a car.
