Highly Recommended
The house: 5* Attractive house, three exceptionally clean bathrooms and good, hot, strong showers. Well equipped kitchen (including dishwasher, microwave coffee machine, freezer). All the bedrooms had working aircon. Outdoor space with a huge dining table, in addition to lounge chairs and table tennis table (all equipment provided). Salvatore and his parents prepare the property beautifully - welcome pack of food and water, wine in fridge. Anti-mosquito plug-ins provided throughout house. Soap in bathrooms, coffee capsules and staples such as olive oil, vinegar, salt. Swimming pool lovely and sunbeds and towels are provided. Outside space has nice lighting in the evening.
The Location: The train station (Lascari) is a few minutes walk away and we used it to take a day trip to Palermo where we did a street food tour which we recommend. Trains are punctual and reliable. We had a car rental and used this to get into Cefalu (huge car park at Lungomare Guiseppe Giardini. Charming town with lovely sandy beach. Clear sea on calm days and fun waves on windier days. Lots of restaurants - we tried Tinchitè, Al Gabbiano, Porta Ossuna Cefalu and Ostaria Del Duomo - all recommended. Nearer to the house we liked Voce del Mare and Da Piero (nice takeaway pizza). Recommended Activities: Zipline Sicilia, Gole Di Tiberius (a gorge in Madonie), Horse Riding in Madonie,(Sicily Horse Tours), Parco Avventurea Madonie. There is an acqua park nearby too but we didn’t try it.
