The owner, who is an excellent cook, will ensure you feel very well looked after.

“The villa was magnificent; in fact grander than pictures and words described in the brochure and website... The meal prepared by the owner was one to remember for a lifetime... Our holiday? Magical is the best word I can use.” Jay Hochheiser, USA, April 2011

The Area

Exploring the local Area

Set high above Palermo and the Conca D'oro, this spectacular villa is an ideal spot from which to explore Palermo, the north coast and the central Western part of Sicily. Monreale, Cefalu', Segesta, Selinunte and Erice are all within easy reach.

Monreale is home to the most spectacular example of the fusion of Norman, Arab and Byzantine architecture to come out of the 12th century. Cefalu' is not far behind Monreale, Segesta and Selinunte are two of the most important Ancient Greek sites in Sicily. Erice has been inhabited continuously for over two and a half thousand years.

Palermo is home to some beautiful Norman, Spanish and "Liberty" architecture and Mondello has one of Sicily's finest white sand beaches.
