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

We've 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.

We spent five days in this peaceful setting. Guiseppe extends a very warm welcome to his guests and you are soon settled into the lovely, well appointed, spacious appartment. Between the shady terrance and the swimming pool we spent many happy hours. The views of the sea and mountains are wonderful. Easy access by car to nearby shops and cafes. The fishing village of Puntacello is well worth a visit. Palermo is only a 35 minute train journey away from the local station which is only a 10 minute drive away, although leave enough time to walk to the nearby cafe to buy the train ticket. Trains run every hour. We look forward to our return trip.
