Villa Emmanuele was wonderful. Our family of seven, which included my wife and five kids ranging from the ages of 7 to 14 along with my mother. All had a great time. There was plenty of rooms for all of us. The house was in great condition as advertised we were able to cook almost days and eat outside on the big table which seats up to eight people. There is a small market nearby where we were able to buy a few things every day. There is also a little bakery that is a few feet away from the market. My mother also was able to walk to a bigger market, which was probably a 15 minute walk. The beach is really close. About an eight minute walk and there is a shortcut through one of the neighborhoods where you can go through the gate with the key that is provided by the owner. The best part is that you have access to a private beach with a reserved spot with two lounge chairs, an umbrella and a chair. Water was nice and the kids and I had an amazing time swimming around. The area also has quite a few restaurants and gelaterias so plenty of places to eat and all within walking distance. The owner was also able to set up a driver Giovanni who was amazing, he picked us up at the airport, amazing driver and he even picked us up another day to take us to Downtown Palermo for a few hours. He also took us to where my family was from which was about 1,5 hours away and drove us to many places including a restaurant while he waited in the car for us. Anyways I could go on and on. Great place
