The location is amazing close to some beautiful hidden spots and also Palermo and big beaches are close. You feel safe and like visiting a family member.

  • It’s the nicest place on earth! Rooms are so beautiful! As in a Disney movie! I felt like a real princess there! Also everything was perfectly clean! Like F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Monica’s clean! In my opinion this is 5-star hotel standard! Bed was so comfortable!

    The nature around is stunning! It’s 3 minutes walk to the sea! And the hostess! She is an angel. Helpful, friendly, caring, sweet, funny ❤️ Can’t wait to visit her again!

  • “Wonderful peaceful place.

    This is a lovely peaceful spot close to some amazing coves where you can swim. Maria has made this place just wonderful, she keeps it really clean and packed with everything you might need. I had a lush room with a balcony overlooking the sea and mountains. It’s really nice and quiet and night and in the morning you can hear the birds sing while you sip on a coffee.

    Absolutely loved it.”

  • “La casa si trova in una tranquillissima zona di villeggiatura da cui si possono ammirare le montagne, la scogliera ed il mare. La stanza e la casa sono arredate con una cura eccezionale, abbiamo apprezzato tantissimo l'atmosfera… La stanza era bellissima, pulita e in ordine, direi anche meglio di come appare nelle foto. Abbiamo scelto di aggiungere anche la colazione che è stata ottima e servita con grande cura.”

  • “The tranquility of the place and the welcome of Esmeralda the owner, she fulfilled every request made in no time. Very kind and friendly. The room with private bathroom very large, with balcony and very clean.

    Also very convenient is the (secured) parking and the breathtaking view at the end of the B&B driveway.”
