Great location
Perfect location for all local facilities & a lovely, quiet setting. Size more suited to 2 people than 4 & kitchen v v small! With all good offerings around - that was not an issue for us.
Very well located for touring & some wonderful things to be seen.
The local contact - Angela- was brilliant. She made regular contact with us & really took a personal interest in ensuring that everything was ok. Her bar/restaurant recommendations were all perfect.

Enjoyable, but not for the faint-hearted.
We enjoyed our stay, although it was highly stressful at times. The apartment has two roomy bedrooms and a sizeable living room, all tastefully furnished but the kitchen space was tiny with access for one person at a time, inadequate for two let alone four people. To welcome us , we were given a bottle of wine but only one wine glass. The outdoor space is very pleasant and the grounds are extensive and interesting. The swimming pool hours are rather limited,10a.m. to 6.30p.m., although we were allowed to swim before 10, provided the pool was not being maintained. It is a good sized pool in a lovely setting.
Bagheria is a busy town within a labyrinth of very narrow streets. Driving is hazardous by any standards due to double parking, lack of signage, and scooters whizzing by haphazardly. SatNav is more of a liability than an asset. Finding the Villa was a nightmare, since we were given no directions from the management. The link we were sent was empty, and it was simply sent empty a second time when we informed Giacomo (the manager) of the problem. Fortunately, a local policeman helped out by driving there with us following in our own car. The gates of the villa are kept locked at all times, and Angela, Giacomo's assistant, had to wait outside for us to arrive to let us in. Given that we spent over an hour driving around trying to find the place, everyone was stressed out by the time we arrived.
When we finally did arrive, Angela was very kind and as helpful as possible.
One day, having locked our bedroom door from the outside, the lock failed to open. It was lunchtime, which is sacrosanct. So we had to wait until after 3pm before someone came along with a hammer and an oil-can to open it. Again very stressful.
About a week before arrival, we were told that the apartment would not be ready on time, and offered an alternative for one night. Given that we did not know where the first apartment was, finding a second one seemed to pile on the pressure. Fortunately, the first apartment, was made ready in time. But the stress of not knowing was not good.

A very nice appartement
We loved the cottage in Bagheria. It is located in the middle of Bagheria at 2 steps from the main street. However due to the fact that the cottage is part of the larger property Villa Trabia, you could not hear anything from the city center and you can simply relax. The hospitality was also a plus: Angela showed us all the main items in the apartment. We arrived on a Sunday around the closing hour of all the supermarkets. Angela immediately drove us to the nearest supermarkets until we found one which was still open.

An Enthralling Step Back in Time
We booked Orange Cottage as Bagheria served as a great place to explore both Palermo and Cefalu. In addition, our two teenage children could easily access the town for coffee, ice cream and a general wander. In truth, we didn't really know what to expect. Aloisa described the property as a cottage in the grounds of an old aristocratic mansion house (in the middle of a town!). Faded charm and a reminder of past glories. The cottage was simple but extremely clean and comfortable and furnished with old antiques which suited the feel of the property. Ideal for a family of four and a great outside area which was bigger than the picture on-line.The kitchen was small but everything was provided for so not a problem. The pool was great and we never really saw anybody else so had it all to ourselves. We could wander the grounds and only imagine what it was like in it's former life. Alois invited us to pick tomatoes, basil, limes and oranges from the garden and this gave a feeling that we where part of something special. Amazingly, once outside the huge main gates we were in a bustling and traditional Sicilian town. The contrast was fabulous and we all felt privileged to be living on the 'other side'. The main street was seconds away and mostly closed to vehicles. Shops, cafe's, butchers all on hand. We found a couple of excellent restaurants (Fratelli Piombino booked by Aloisa) which the children labelled' best they have been to'. Great food and service. A super coffee and cake cafe yards from the front gates.
Away from the town, Palermo was 20 minutes by train which was easy and convenient. Cefalu also great and easy to drive or train. Both a must see. So, in summary a place full of charm, and a real Sicilian experience. Aloisa, was truly helpful and quick to respond to any requests or needs. Always engaging and happy to share the history of the family house. If you fancy something delightfully different this is it. Fully recommended by the whole family.

Great location , lovely cottage surround by lemon trees ,lovely pool and close to a good town
The villa was very easy to find and we had a warm welcome by the owner It was well equipped and was very clean . The rooms were comfortable .The patio had a good size table and there was a lovely cane settee to relax after a day site seeing . There were good resturants locally and also takeaway pizza and chicken
The villa was in a good location to visit the top part of Sicily and it was close to the train station so visiting Palermo very easy.
We would recommend the cottage to our family and friends.

Ruhige Komfortzone im Stadtzentrum
Wundervoll typisch liebevoll, italienische und historische Einrichtung. Nach einem Bummel durch die Kleinstadt Bagheria behütet durch den Orangenhain zu unserer ruhigen Unterkunft. Sehr hilfsbereiter Vermieter mit vielen guten Tips. Gerne kommen wir wieder und genießen diese tolle Ausgangslage für schöne Ausflüge mit dem Auto und fußläufige Erkundungen. 10 min mit dem Zug nach Palermo oder in andere Richtungen. Der Umliegenden Park und der Pool Wunden zu dieser Zeit nur von uns benutzt. Die Menschen dieser Region sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit.

APPARTEMENT SYMPA, PISCINE SUPERBE
Accueil très sympa. Merci beaucoup à Angela pour tous ses conseils et sa gentillesse ainsi que pour la bouteille de vin dans le frigo !
Appartement confortable dans les dépendances d'un ancien palais.
Piscine magnifique dans le jardin de la propriété.
Situation très calme. A +- 30 minutes de Palerme et 10 minutes de splendides petites criques.
Seul petit point négatif, la cuisine est vraiment petite et il n'y avait pas de fond de ménage (sel, poivre, huile,...).
Je vous conseille la visite du charmant palais Valguarnera-Gangi se situant tout près.

Charme italien et Dolce Vita a 30 mn de Palerme
Bienvenue à la magnifique Villa Trabia, un petit château, grandiose, autenthique, bref un véritable havre de paix en plein coeur de Sicile. Si vous souhaitez du calme et de l'élégance, bienvenue à cet endroit.
Côté maison, aménagée avec les meubles historiques de la famille, belles gravures au mur, très agréable, bon équipement (literie, climatisation et ventilateurs dans chaque chambre, machine à laver le linge), la cuisine est petite (façon cuisine Parisienne) mais franchement pour les repas sur l'été c'est suffisant (il y a un micro-ondes, un grand réfrigérateur avec congélateur et un four traditionnel). Terrasse très agréable... tous les repas pris en terrasse ombragée entourée d'arbres, un vrai plus, et surtout immense et magnifique piscine entourées elles aussi d'arbres et de belle végétation. Le petit plus: accès au parking privatif, très pratique en Sicile le stationnement étant parfois rare. Propriétaires très agréables avec un vrai sens du service et qui sont ravis de nous faire partager une partie du patrimoine sicilien.
Côté situation, très pratique pour aller à Palerme en voiture, en 25 mn par l'autoroute et aller sur Cefalu à une heure. Après la ville de Bagheria demeure assez quelconque mais elle est très fonctionnelle (supermarché, boulangerie à 50 mn de la maison, rue principale de la ville - piétonne - à 50 m de la maison). Le petit plus un restaurant 1 étoile Michelin - I PuPi - à 200 m de la maison: 35 euros le menu le midi, imbattable et extrêmement bon.
Si vous recherchez de l'authenticité et du calme et de l'anti Ikea/ anti Pierre & Vacances... alors n'hésitez pas.
