Description
Villa Miramare consists of two adjacent mirror-image apartments, each of which sleeps five. They can be rented either individually or together.
The house is on two levels: the ground floor has the living area and kitchen, while the first floor has two double bedrooms and one single. The single and one of the doubles open onto a terrace with spectacular views over the gulf of Palermo. The garden, planted with a rich variety of plants and flowers, is terraced on several levels, and linked by stone steps, which runs from the private parking place to a splendid English-style lawn overlooking the sea. Thanks to its fantastic position, views from the villa stretch right over the gulf of Palermo: sunsets are unforgettable, and on clear days you can see as far as the island of Ustica. Another flight of 140 steps leads directly from the villa to a cement swimming platform by the sea.
As the villa is so close to Palermo, you might also want to consider it for a winter rental.

Good to know
Highs:The views are enchanting, and the location is very private. The living room and master bedroom have electronically-operated shutters
Lows: No internet, no dishwasher and one of the apartments is less-well furnished than the other. The coast is rocky, and so not suitable for young children.
