The house have three double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The outside area is amazing, a pool with view, sun beds, outdoor kitchen, lounge area and eating area. We rented a car and vistited Cefalu, Pollina and Castelbuono. Sant’Amrogio, a small village nearby has a supermarket and restaurant. The beaches are only a 10 min drive away. Stefano was a great host and helped us with everything we needed. ##### Maria J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominique q. Sep 6, 2025 ##### Dominique q.
