WELCOME TO THE POOL
Dear guests,
My wish is that you enjoy the swimming pool and its fantastic salt water. The following rules are given by the fact that the pool that you will be using has a special high technology system (Electrolysis System) producing NATURAL CHLORE straight from salt-water and constantly controlling the degree of water PH. By this, to put the system in conditions to produce the best quality water and to give you the opportunity to get the most pleasant swim, totally exempt by any irritation on eyes, lips and nose that only the Natural Chlorine can offer you, I kindly ask you to observe the following rules. Thank you.

  • PLEASE, WEAR YOUR POOL-CAP; FOR BOYS/MEN, SWIMMING TRUNKS TO BE WORN IN THE POOL. LONG SHORTS (i.e. SURFER SHORTS) NOT PERMITTED.
    THE POOL IS OPEN FROM 9 A.M. TO 1,00 P.M. AND FROM 5,00 P.M TO 8,00 P.M.

CLIMATE
Sicily has a Mediterranean climate. Summers are hot and dry, with July and August highs of 30C (86F). Winters are mild, with temperatures between 10C and 20C (50F-68F). For those who dont like it too hot, the best time is late spring and early summer.

TOURISTY VISITS
PALERMO: Sicily's principal city is ideal for culture vultures looking for an alternative Italian city break holiday, it has some of the most amazing monuments in Italy, and perhaps in the world. It is also the main centre of Norman architecture in Europe. And is ideal for sun-seekers looking for a Med beach break with a bit of a twist.

"Ci siamo divertiti un mondo , non solo per le bellezze della Sicilia ma anche e soprattutto perchè abbiamo avuto la fortuna di trovarci in un fantastico contesto e una straordinaria persona come Imperato Antonio che ci ha fatto subito sentire a nostro agio. Il luogo è davvero il massimo per chi vuole visitare le bellezze di questa Isola , nessun posto è lontano e tutto è raggiungibile senza difficoltà. Non appena torniamo in Sicilia è garantito che non c'è scelta migliore che rivolgersi a codesta struttura".

10/10 Excellent Antonio couldn’t have been a better host. Supper friendly and interesting. Fantastic grounds and beautiful pool. We had a great time and slept in late in the morning! Property was close to lots of historical sites and lets of restaurants with a few miles. Loved this place and I’m sure you will have a great experience. Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Daniel C.

"La villa Imperato est une belle propriété(entièrement close : pratique avec les enfants) avec trois maisons confortables (nous avons visités les trois) qui se partagent une magnifique piscine d''eau salée. Vous serez donc amenés à cotoyer d''autres vacanciers, ce qui peut être enrichissant. Dans notre cas : des italiens, irlandais, lituaniennes... Toutes les installations et équipements sont neufs ou très récents. Antonio, le propriétaire (qui parle français !) est sur place et il vous accueillera chaleureusement. On trouve tout ce qu''il faut à proximité (plages, commerces, sites touristiques) mais il est indispensable d''avoir une voiture. Bref, un bel endroit pour passer de magnifiques vacances entre amis et/ou en famille." Arnaud H., NANCY, France

10/10 Excellent Our Sicilian home Lovely stay in Villa Azzura, we will always remember our mornings in the balcony, drinking our Italian coffee and having the best toast with orange marmelade, offered by our host, Antonio. He made it himself out of the oranges from the garden! Very nice gazebo outside. The place is large, clean, welcoming and it remained in our hearts! Laura D.

10/10 Excellent "La vacanza trascorsa nel... "La vacanza trascorsa nella proprietà di Antonio la potrei annoverare tra le migliori in assoluto, sia per il contesto globale, giardino, piscina, struttura abitativa, affabilità e disponibilità del proprietario, sia per la possibilità di essere ospitati in 22 persone (7 famiglie: 14 adulti e 8 ragazzi) appartenenti ad un unico gruppo di amici che per quattordici giorni hanno formato un''unica famiglia ''allargata'' compreso cene e grigliate anche in compagnia del simpatico Antonio e di Virginia. Un unico inconveniente, che ha creato alcuni malumori ed alcune notti turbolente, è stato lo schiamazzo di alcuni vicini di casa che si sono dilungati oltre misura con un ''karaoke'' piuttosto improbabile e alquanto molesto, sedato a fatica dal sempre gentilissimo Antonio. Il tutto non ha comunque inficiato la bellezza e la serenità delle giornate trascorse alternando mare e cultura. Assolutamente da ripetere." stefano c.

Le règlement d''utilisation de la piscine est un peu strict pour des jeunes enfants, mais le résultat est là : la piscine est impeccable, l''eau faiblement salée ne pique pas les yeux et est parfaitement transparente."

10/10 Excellent "I had a very nice and pleasant stay at this villa in Balestrate. All facilities are provided for a self-catering holiday plus there is the use of a private pool. With a car we were able to visit many of the archeological sites and places of interest. The sandy beach is a five minute drive from the villa. Antonio was an excellent host and was very helpful with any queries we had."
