Romantic villa family-friendly:on vacation all the year among art,nature and sea
Villa Paladino Solunto is a small and amazing complex of 5 lovely bright, cozy and full-equipped suites (3 three-room suites for 4 - 5 people and 2 two-room suites for 2 - 4 people), immersed in a dreaming and amazing atmosphere, between history and mythe,just at the gates of Palermo. It has exceptional charm and prestige by the unique characteristics between the gulfs of Palermo and Cefalù. It smartly stands on a lush hill, close to the Natural Reserve of Monte Catalfano and the Archeological Park of Solunto,the famous Phoenician and Greek - Roman city. Guided tours on foot of Monte Catalfano can be arranged. Along the coast, you can visit the Archaeological underwater Park of the Rock of the Ant. Boat trips with skipper in the clear waters around the Scoglio della Formica (the Rock of the Ant), home of dolphins, up to the Aeolian Islands and fishing can be arranged in summer. The closest sand beach is only met 800 far from the Villa. You can look at the Gulf of Palermo and Monte Pellegrino too ('The most beautiful promontory of the world', said Goethe, the well known German poet who came in Sicily in 19th century) from the windows of your bedrooms.The view of the sea embraces from Palermo to Cefalù until the high chain of Nebrodi and that over mountains reaches from Mount Pellegrino (Palermo) to the inner mountains of Sicily, the magnificent tops of Madonie (alt. m 2000), looking at the hills, the rocky promontories and the green valleys of Bagheria and Santa Flavia too. On these panoramic luxuriant hills of Bagheria you can admire a lot of beautiful eighteenth - century villas built by the best Sicilian nobility. Villa Paladino solunto is a fascinating and enchanting site,a very peaceful place where adults and children can enjoy and spend unforgettable holidays thanks to the gorgeous setting with an incredible pool similar to a natural lake in the middle of a large Mediterranean garden. Ii is also a good starting point with easy access to motorway and manageable driving time to majority of attractions. 200 meters away you may visit the touristic village of Santa Flavia and the fishing villages of Porticello and S.Elia, where you can taste delicious Sicilian dishes. Approximately 1 Km. after S.Elia, driving along the quite panoramic coastal road, that flows around the Natural Reserve of Monte Catalfano, you’ll get the promontory of Mongerbino and the seafaring village of Aspra and with its breath-taking views on the Gulf of Palermo and Monte Pellegrino. It is a strategic point to easily go sightseeing Palermo (Km.10, 30 minutes by car and 20 by train), the well known beach resort of Mondello and the town of Monreale, with the most beautiful and important Cathedral in the world, the famous medieval town of Cefalù, with its fantastic beach and the Arab-Norman Cathedral, the enchanting Castle of Caccamo, the well-known remains of Agrigento, the Museum of Mozia, the nice and little town of Erice, the Natural Reserve of Zingaro, the National Natural Madonie Park and many other places of great tourist interest.It 's possible to go in less than an hour from the sea to the mountain, taking part in sightseeing, excursions in the great Madonie National Park (alt m. 2000) a paradise of rare plants and protected animal species. If you haven't a car, you can easily go sightseeing Palermo, Cefalù, and many other places thanks to the nearest train Station of Santa Flavia (0,200 KM.) or the Bus Station of Bagheria: pullmans and trains leave each hour and are very cheap and convenient means of transport.

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.
