We chose this place because it was outside Palermo, yet reasonably close to the airport - we had been in Palermo earlier in the week and on the way back from Syracuse did not want to return in the city. For the purpose this was a good place. ||However: the photos of this place look much nicer than the real thing. The rooms are ok, the bathrooms are definitely cleaner and nicer than the bedrooms. Breakfast is virtually non-existent - you get jam and crip bread in a plastic plate and coffee.

Breakfast was essential but very good, served in a veranda overlooking the orchards with the sea on the background.||We left in the morning but would have stayed longer had the...
