We came here to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and it has been absolutely wonderful. The villa is incredible—there were 10 of us, and everyone had their own bedroom, with several rooms to spare. Each villa has its own kitchen and feels like a self-contained apartment, giving everyone plenty of space to relax, whether together or on their own.The pool is amazing, surrounded by lime trees and beautiful scenery. The views of the mountains surrounding the villa are breathtaking and create a peaceful, picturesque setting. The grounds are stunning, tranquil, and perfect for enjoying the beauty of Sicily. It was the ideal place for our family celebration, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setting.The train station is just a two-minute walk away. I would recommend downloading the train app, as not all trains stop in Lascari. The train ride to beautiful Cefalù takes only about 10 minutes. While there, we enjoyed a wonderful boat trip and several fantastic meals.We did not rent a car and found it very easy to get around. Bikes are available, and it’s a short ride to the grocery store. There is also a wonderful restaurant, La Voce del Mare, about 10 minutes by bike or 6 minutes by car.Gorgo Lungo is the local beach, about a 15-minute walk away. It has a lovely café and is close to a great little pizza place, making it the perfect spot to spend a relaxing afternoon by the sea. Benedetto is an amazing host so accommodating.
