The accommodation is well equipped and the pool is ideal for relaxing. The owner could not be more helpful and knows the local area well. Palermo airport is a 50 min drive. A car is recommended. We stayed as a family of 4 with younger children but the accommodation is equally suited to couples. We found the people friendly, the food fantastic and the ice cream amazing. Local restaurants are a 5-10 mins drive. ### 6/10 Okay #### Katrina L., Glasgow 25 Sept 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Santa Flavia The pool was fabulous and the location good for access to local places of interest, particularly Palermo, Cefalu and Monreal. Nearby, Portofino provided a small selection of good pizzerias. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and the holiday complex felt safe and secure as it is a gated complex. ##### Katrina L.

Les propriétaires sont charmants, disponibles et très gentils. L'endroit est calme, la piscine appréciable et avec une vue magnifique. Excellente literie. La location est simple mais fonctionnelle.

Marida and Beppe are very nice hosts, very attentive and helpful. The place is perfectly designed and nested on the slope of the hill, the same hill where the ancient town Solunto is located, it's just on the opposite side of the hill. The place is very peaceful and quiet, the location allows easily reach all the sights of the island. Palermo is just 20 minutes to drive from the place. ##### Boris G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Baia di Ulisse Wellness & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agrigento-Hotels-Baia-Di-Ulisse-Wellness-SPA.h2417795.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Giardini Naxos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-RG-Naxos-Hotel.h24547.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aci-Castello-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Catania-Hotel-Conference-Center.h8552.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Baia Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aci-Castello-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Baia-Verde.h1039628.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caparena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Caparena.h793438.Hotel-Information) > > [King's House Hotel Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mascali-Hotels-Kings-House-Hotel-Resort.h5245669.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort La battigia Beach And Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcamo-Hotels-La-Battigia-Resort-Wellness-Spa.h72942078.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caesar Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Hotel-Caesar-Palace.h2032215.Hotel-Information) > > [Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Sant-Alphio-Garden-Hotel-Spa.h1315916.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Cambridge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-YHA-Cambridge-Hostel.h11518406.Hotel-Information) > > [La Tonnara di Bonagia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valderice-Hotels-Smy-La-Tonnara-Di-Bonagia-Sicilia.h889637.Hotel-Information) > > [CDSHotels Terrasini - Città del Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Terrasini-Hotels-Terrasini-CDSHotels.h869553.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Brucoli, Sicily, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Augusta-Hotels-Brucoli-Village.h1619803.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Naxos Beach Sicilia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Naxos-Beach-Sicilia.h1068892.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream World Aqua Hotel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Dream-World-Aqua-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h14696804.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Seville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Seville.h27061.Hotel-Information) > > [Acacia Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ragusa-Hotels-Acacia-Palace.h34095703.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mascali-Hotels-Atlantis-Palace-Hotel.h4163043.Hotel-Information) > > [Stylish 5 bedroom villa with infinity pool and games room, perfect for families](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kas-Hotels-Luxury-5-Bedroom-Villa-With-Infinity-Pool-And-Games-Room.h33976492.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle City Barbican](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Thistle-City-Barbican.h61625848.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in North Macedonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-North-Macedonia.d105.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Spa Hotels in Wells-next-the-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Next-The-Sea-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6193376-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Don Vittorio Country Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Don-Vittorio-Country-Village.h39727162.Hotel-Information) > > [Wellness & Spa Hotel Principe di Fitalia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Wellness-Spa-Hotel-Principe-Di-Fitalia.h9388897.Hotel-Information) > > [Dana Villas & Infinity Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Dana-Villas-Infinity-Suites.h1478516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hellenia Yachting Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Hellenia-Yachting-Hotel.h921014.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Himera Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Himera-Beach-Club.h35512535.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Arlanda (ARN) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/arn/bhx/stockholm-to-birmingham) ### Packages > [Old Town Benidorm Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Town-Benidorm.d6168672.Holidays-City-Breaks)
