Location was okay. having a car was necessary. In summer, it was too hot to walk anywhere and it's a bit off of a busy street. The pool and views were fabulous. ##### Charisse F. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel L., Cheshire May 29, 2018 #### Beautiful peaceful and private property, lovely pool area and facilities. Peaceful and tranquil location, easy access into the town. Each villa has its own terrace and is quite private. The pool is lovely with comfy sun loungers, again quite easy to find a private spot if desired. The villas are spacious and nicely laid out, with lots of room. Comfortable bed. Secure properties with a gated entrance, the elevated position makes for some fabulous views. The owners Marida and Giuseppe are very friendly and helpful, with lots of suggestions for places to visit, eat and shop. Santa Flavia and Porticello are within walking distance (10-25 mins). ##### Rachel L.

Marida welcomed us warmly, even went to get pizza and beers for us the first evening, when we arrived relatively late (thank you!!!). The Villa is indeed a little bit remote, so if you like to take a walk in Santa Flavia or Porticello, it is recommendable to make the small trip from the villa to the village by car. Other than that, it fulfilled all our expectations. So if you like what you see on the pictures - book an apartment in the Villa Paladino Solunto :-)! ##### Ute S.

Oct 20, 2016 #### Aufenthalt im Oktober 2016 Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Der Umfang der Küchenausstattung ist auf das Mindeste reduziert. Leider ist die Sitzgelegenheit im Wohnbereich sehr eingeschränkt - es handelt sich um eine "Gartenbank" - leider kein Sofa oder Sessels zum relaxen. Die Anlage und der Schwimmingpool sind ebenfalls sehr sauber und gepflegt. Von der Unterkunft konnte man sehr gut mit der Bahn Palermo erreichen - auch die östliche Stadt Cefalu kann mit dem Auto in 45 Minuten (über Autobahn) erreicht werden und ist empfehlenswert für einen Besuch. Die Badestrände waren steinig und während unseres Aufenthaltes sehr vermüllt. Nur der Sandstrand in Cefalu war sauber und wurde von uns regelmäßig besucht. Wenn man die Insel Sizilien im nördlichen Bereich erkunden möchte, ist der Aufenthalt im Feriendomizil zu empfehlen. Die Familie Musso ist sehr gastfreundlich und nett - vielen Dank nochmals an Familie Musso. ##### Jörg V.

Aug 15, 2016 #### Accueil et logement très agréable Nous avons passé 1 semaine très agréable. Marida est toujours disponible pour aider, donner un conseil néanmoins tout en discrétion. Le logement que nous avons eu était bien entretenu, et de qualité tout comme l'ensemble du domaine et la vue dégagée magnifique. La situation est aussi intéressante vis à vis des plages, des commerces et des voies d'accès à l'ensemble de la région. A recommandé. ##### florence b.

Sep 16, 2015 #### Very nice place, very nice owner After a bad suprise on an other residance (in south of sicilia), our stay in the villa paladino Solunto was very welcom !! The 2 owners are lovely people and speak english very well (quite rare in sicilia) : Marida gave us lot a advices about the several places to visite from the villa. The villa in itself was very clean and comfortable, air conditioning working perfertly, comfortable beds (looks exactly like the pictures, so really good looking villa). We even had to leave the villa 1 day ealier than planned : Marida accepted to give us back the amont of the location for the night we could not spend in the villa : an attitude we appreciated a lot. The only think that could have be better is that there was no dish washer in the kitchen : not a very bad point once you're aware of it ! -> Really, we had a great stay there ! Come without a second thought ! ##### Gregory B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Horace V. Aug 10, 2015 #### My stay at Villa Paladino Solunto During my stay at Villa Paladino Solunto,I resided in a two room suite- "Fico Nero".The suite was immaculately clean and tidy and was complete with 2 aircon units,very necessary for the temperatures at the time of the holiday!! The suite was superbly maintained and all the facilities were working at the best state possible.Supplies of all the usual soaps,cleaners etc.were provided for immediate usage. The Villa Paladino Solunto is set well back from a road, and has an electronic gate system and a mechanical gate at the front entrance,both operated by the set of keys provided by the owners.Obviously security of the site was of high importance to the owners. There was a small pool on site and was provided with sunshades and loungers to allow a very relaxing stay. The pool and accessories were well maintained by Marida's husband and was provided with lighting at night if requested,a nice touch! The Villa has well maintained gardens,with white gravel paths leading to the various suites,which are all nicely separated should privacy be required. As the shopping facilities are some distance from the main Villa,a car would be a necessity and would help with exploring the local good restaurants and historical sites. In all, a great Holiday was experienced at this site and I would have no hesitation in recommending this to friends and family. ##### Horace V. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Rapallo-Hotels-Excelsior-Palace-Hotel.h21704.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Flora](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Flora.h919640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Cristina-Hotel.h16729.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Pensione Svizzera](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-La-Pensione-Svizzera.h899509.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ariston & Palazzo Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ariston-Palazzo-Santa-Caterina.h54117.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/Vico-Equense-Hotels-Hotel-Mary.h4947835.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Riviera.h1419029.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bel Soggiorno](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Bel-Soggiorno.h1053832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel de La Ville](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-De-La-Ville.h921822.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Santa-Caterina.h2541496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giorgio](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giorgio.h1709306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Belvedere](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Belvedere.h2499098.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Panoramic](https://www.expedia.ca/Maiori-Hotels-Residence-Hotel-Panoramic.h44539994.Hotel-Information) > > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Margherita](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Margherita.h915378.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-NH-Collection-Grand-Hotel-Convento-Di-Amalfi.h2885039.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Majestic-Palace-Hotel.h45862.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Miramalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Miramalfi.h1130642.Hotel-Information) > > [Italiana Hotels Cosenza](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosenza-Hotels-Italiana-Hotels-Cosenza.h1187073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Fioriere](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Fioriere.h1897502.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Manning Relais](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Villa-Manning-Relais.h21971579.Hotel-Information) > > [Splendid Hotel Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Splendid-Hotel-Taormina.h1735615.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdura Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sciacca-Hotels-Verdura-Resort.h2512326.Hotel-Information) > > [Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ravello-Hotels-Caruso.h1129096.Hotel-Information)
