Home description
Although not directly set in the centre this Villa is perfect for those seeking a twin based holiday also the historical seaside town of Cefalu is just 15 km away and Palermo some 60km. This is very much a Villa set for holidays by the shore being only 100m from the beach. It is easy to see why people come time and again. The furnishings inside are basic but comfortable and local amenities are just a stones throw away.
There are facilities in the garden to eat alfresco and enjoy once again the sounds of the sea whilst sipping a cool glass of Sicilian wine. Also perfect for children and teenagers as they can be on the beach whilst still being close enough to keep safe.
The owners of the Villa are very accommodating and are sometimes around to help out if needed. Fresh bread and oven baked pizzas are within walking distance and you will find some beach bars open in the summer months (May to September).

The Sicily region
The Island of many contrasts and colours fiercely fought over down the centuries, living to tell the tale today through all its glorious battle scars, cast into the sea like a jewel. Sicily sparkles in the hot mezzagiorno sun off the southern boot of Italy, reminding us all the time, to travel a little bit further down the coast until we reach the straits of Messina
Some 25,000 square kilometres Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and even today you will find many areas of land that are uninhabited due to their rugged and exposed terrain. The hot southern sun produces rich ripe wines, which when tasted on a warm balmy night under a deep sapphire sky is sure to become a lasting memory.
For those wanting room service 24/7 and large hotel complexes catering for every need, ultra modern facilities and english beer on tap then you will not find it in Sicily.
Cefalu / Lascari area
Cefalu is the younger sister that sits in the shadow of Taormina, just over an hour by train from Palermo, this coastal town is now one of the top spots on the Tyrrhenian coast. A wonderful place to spend a couple of days, experiencing the medieval streets, the historic sights and the limestone massif of “La Rocca” which dominates the town. Its origins go back to the 5th century when the Greeks established an early settlement. It was know as Kephalos, from the Greek for horse, after the rock above the town “La Rocca” which was supposed to have resembled a horse’s head. When the Arabs invaded in the 8th centaury many of it’s inhabitants fled to the sanctuary of the top of “La Rocca” The fortifications of which are still visible today and provide an unforgettable view of the town, the Madonie mountains behind and the coast to either side.
