Aug 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Dank je wel Marida en haar man Giuseppe zijn ontzettend gastvrij en hebben prachtige vakantiewoningen. Wij voelden ons erg welkom. Wij kwamen erg laat aan en Marida had voor pizza’s, wijn, bier en fris gezorgd. Het huisje was van alle gemakken voorzien en erg schoon. Het zwembad was heerlijk en had een prachtig uitzicht, ook de bbq plek was heel erg leuk. Het is zeer zeker aan te raden. Wij zijn een aantal keren met de trein naar Palermo geweest wat zeer goed te doen is. Palermo is een prachtige en levendige stad. Als we heel eerlijk zijn is Santa Flavia niet zo’n mooi dorp. Wel een paar top restaurants zoals Tanit en Pecheria restaurante Pi So Mar. Wij hebben daar een prima tijd gehad . Veel dank aan Marida, Giuseppe en Baba. ##### Berdi V.
