The staff was wonderful. They even met us at the square and navigated our car up into their parking area. They just went over and above doing anything they could for us! The cottage was roomy, decorated nicely and super clean. The staff brought us anything we needed and even let me know when the spa was ready after it went down for 15 minutes. The views from the cottage were superb- from the terraces all the way out to the sea, and the garden with it's citrus and vegetables draped everywhere....

We arrived in Palermo on the overnight ferry from Napoli and took a cab directly to the hotel.

When we left to find coffee, one of the staff was coming off his shift and showed us where we could find a nice restaurant on the map.
