Villa Palazzola - Cinq Chambres Villa, Couchages 12

visite des sites siciliens Etna Taormina Syracuse la valléee des temples .....etc.... Une mention spéciale pour notre interlocuteur Franco qui a été présent à chaque fois que je l'ai sollicité.... Bravo et merci à lui...

We had an amazing time at the villa and would certainly consider booking again.

The villa is spacious and generally well equipped. The aircon worked very well and the outside spaces, including pool, were fabulous and well maintained. Inside was a little "tired" and could do with some attention in places (some peeling paint and wallpaper in some areas and some shutter louvres hard to open/close) but nothing that couldn't easily be rectified. The villa was generally clean but the oven grill in the kitchen was in need of a deep clean - luckily we only needed it on our first morning when we discovered there was no toaster. The wifi was a little inconsistent but I guess it's a common issue in rural areas in Sicily - restarting the router worked though. The star of the whole show however was Franco - he was extremely helpful at all times and always available via whatsapp to answer queries or give recommendations etc. He also ensured we were provided with a toaster and was kind enough to agree to buy some provisions for us so we had some food for our first breakfast, so five stars to Franco! I should also add that Scicli is a gorgeous little town with some fantastic restaurants, shops, bars, churches and architecture and very friendly people.

We were a family party of eight. We had a wonderful week at the Villa. The villa was very well equipped and clean. The outside area from the veranda adjacent to the kitchen where we ate every night, lawns and garden, to the pool area, were all beautifully kept. It was generally very quiet, save from a few local dogs barking from time to time.Our host Franco was great, he was very welcoming, meeting us on our arrival, giving us a comprehensive guided tour and advice about the area. Franco and the team also made sure that any initial niggles that we had were fixed within hours.We also made a couple of late afternoon trips to a local coastal town - Donnalucata, after the hottest part of the day was over and spent a few hours on the lovely sandy beach and also had a meal at one of the beach-side restaurants.A great stay in a great villa which we highly recommended. We plan to return.
