Charmante maison de campagne avec piscine privée, dans un bois clôturé calme

We (a family of three) have enjoyed three marvellous weeks in this beautiful villa, located in the hills just above the small town of Lascari near Cefalù. Our host Benedetta was extremely helpful and forthcoming, in a perfect balance of discretion and effectiveness. Upon arrival, she met us in Lascari and guided us to her house. The villa is a real family home, not just an artificial dwelling for tourists, and therefore gives an authentic feeling that makes it all the more enjoyable. It is well equipped and thoughtfully designed. Our favorites were the large and perfectly maintained pool and the strategically placed roof terrace, where we could watch the sunset. The town of Lascari, only a short drive away, offers plenty of amenities for grocery shopping and other practical matters. A car is imperative to move around in the area, which has a lot to offer in terms of both natural scenery and cultural sites. The location turned out to be an excellent base for exploring the entire region along the Northwestern coast and towards the central parts of Sicily (we visited e.g. Piazza Armerina and Morgantina on a day trip). The city of Palermo can easily be reached by train (about one hour); for our visits there, we conveniently left our car in the car park at the railway station of Lascari. In sum, we had a magnificent time and are grateful to Benedetta for having shared the pleasure and comfort of her home with us. We will cherish fond memories of this villa, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone who plans a holiday in that part of Sicily.

Perfect base for exploring the area - quiet, great pool, well equipped, spotlessly clean - Benedetta was charming and most helpful - our family had a wonderful 8 days

This was a lovely villa in the countryside 5 minutes out of Lascari. The pool was a great bonus - big enough for laps and water battles with the kids - one of the cleanest we've ever come across. As it was incredibly hot (38-42) went spent most of the time in the shade by the pool relaxing.There were numerous terraces with either views of the bay or shade. Close to local amenities (the bakery in the village was fantastic) and attractions. We did a lovely walk up Mount Carbonara as well as shopping in Cefalu, roman ruins and palaces in Palermo. Something for everyone with all the facilities you'd need with rustic charm. Benedetta and her family were very helpful and being escorted to the villa was a great improvement on driving around trying to find it as we normally do with the "clear instructions" provided by owners. Would highly recommend this villa.

Everything is already said about the villa in all the other reviews. We can only agree. It is a lovely house and a lovely place.

We were welcomed with great warmth by Francesca and Benadette. It is their family house, and they are proud of it and take really good care of the house. For us It felt like home away from home and we hope to return next year.
