This lovely villa is located at the feet of the Madonie mountains overlooking the Mediterranean sea. It is surrounded by trees, mainly chestnuts, and has one hectar of garden all around with flowers and other plants. The sandy beach of Lascari is just 7 kilometers away, and the owner- a nice lady, told us she use to walk down there, "but make sure that on your way back your husband pick you up by car!". If you don't want to walk, well, relax. The Villa features a great swimming pool surrounded by trees, like a pool in the middle of the wood! Very cool!

The entrance to the villa, after the street gate and an outdoor terrace with a marble table with an outdoor kitchen, trough the kitchen. Small but with everyhting you may need: gas stove, oven, two refrigerator, dishwasher and laundry machine. There is a door to a bathroom with shower and the access to the living and dining are. The furniture are nice and is a mix of moder and antique stuff. There is a very nice wood-burning stove nad this room is lofted, so through some stairs up you'll reach the bedroom with a double bed. This one has a romantic feeling as a small window give you a view of the tall trees that surround all the property and the wooden celing has a warm touch. Privacy from your friend below still drinking some wine, is guarantee by a curtain from the ceiling to the loft floor. The living/dining room has also french door onto the garden where a table and a couple of chairs will suggest to stay here after your diner. Back in the kitchen on the opposite side of the living entrance there are some stairs up to the other wing of the villa and a frnch door to a backyard with a big marble table for outdoor meals! Trough the stairs up we'll find a long aisle where are lined up a bathroom with tub, a twin bedded bedroom and a double bed bedroom. Both bedroom are lofted, but it is not available as the owner keep there personal stuff. Actually in the double bedroom, she told us that generally they sleep downstairs during the warmer months and upstairs in the winter months...Sicilians, they like complicate things! Anyway this doublebedroom is our favourite because it has a french door that open up onto the covered patio with glicine flowers (a pale purple flowers with an incredible parfume) and the pool! The covered patio has a long marble table (again, another one!) and all the outdoor equipment you may need. At one end there are some stairs up to a solarium where you can be enchanted by the landscape view: green hill going down toward the blue Mediterranean sea. At the other end there is a door to an anti-room and a small bathroom with shower.

The Villa is a nice rental, especially for the peculiar location, extremely convenient to explore a part of Sicily still undiscovered. Also it is close to most known places like Cefalù (about 20 km), Palermo (about 60km). Highway is just 12 kilometers away. The closest town is Lascari where you may find shops,bank, post office, grocieries.....
