Description

Villa del Golfo owes its great charm to its magnificent garden, the layout of the structure and the great views of the sea and the coast. From the large stone-paved area of the entrance you'll immediately note the contrast between the green of the vegetation, the multicoloured flowers and the intense blue of the sea. The garden slopes down to the sea, creating a series of enchanting little corners. The building follows the contours of the landscape on which it is built. In fact, it is divided into three independent levels (one of them set on a higher point at a short distance from the others). The three levels share one kitchen, set on the first level.
Villa del Golfo is very tastefully furnished. The rooms are cosy and comfortable, each with a magnificent view of the gulf and the sea, but the real joys of the villa are outside, with 4 different terraced areas - all facing the sea - a large dining area with a delightful murals, a charcoal oven, a BBQ, and a beautifully designed external kitchen decorated with antique majolica Sicilian tiles. Following a narrow path through the garden, you arrive at the sea. allows you to sunbathe. A small deck has been built here for sunbathing. Villa del Golfo can host up to 12 persons who maintain their privacy. Very few houses in the area of Palermo can boast these features all together, with the sea at a few steps from your room: a jump into to the water at sunset, right before a cool aperitif - is an experience not to be missed!
A gardener comes every two days to upkeep the garden and feed the dogs (who stay in a different area). He is a local and will be glad to all the information needed or help to solve any matter may arise.
