Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A special place We stayed at Villa Palamara at the end of three weeks in Italy and Sicily. It was the most special stay in a very beautiful property. The villa and outbuildings have been thoughtfully divided into a few different apartments and ours had a fabulous sea view from a little balcony in the kitchen dining area. The apartment was beautifully furnished and decorated and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was all very well considered. The stunning swimming pool was a 2 minute stroll through the gardens past a very generous fig tree. From the pool you could catch glimpses of the azure sea. We drove to Palermo one day for some sightseeing and a wander through a couple of the fabulous markets to feast on Sicilian delicacies and another day we spent the late afternoon in Cefalu sampling the delights of brioche con gelato and wandering the pretty streets. Both were easily reached from Villa Palamara by car. We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Palamara and would definitely return. The apartment was high quality and the pool was stunning. Thank you for having us! ##### Harriet W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juliane W.
