Villa Villekulla, the alternative Vacation in Villagrazia di Carini, Sicily
Pina (Giuseppa Misia) also called Pippi, is the owner of this house. So we gave the house the name of Pippi Long stockings house, Villa Villekulla. We, that is Pina, Sicilian artist and me Gunnar, German scuba instructor and since 1978 in Sicily, living in a cozy little house in Villagrazia di Carini not far from the Palermo airport.
For rent is the complete ground floor, devised in two apartments (we live upstairs with our own entrance) with large fully equipped kitchens, bedroom and bathroom. Veranda for hanging out or to eat outside in the sun or shade. 4 person can sleep in one and 3 persons in the other apartment. The beach is 20 – 25 minutes walking distance. Palermo is about 15 kilometres from here, you can get there by bus or train if you don't have a car.
The house is in a summer residence, so some confusion is to except only in high season period. The hustle and bustle in the village and on the beaches then also reached its peak. The walk to the village, by the way, takes about 10 minutes. Along the coast many bars open in the summer for drinks with music and entertainment..
Living with our guests we imagine something like this: Either we make something like a social community, or you go your own way, to say, we love to cook for you, we can dine together or individually. At dinner we are very flexible, whether fish or meat or vegetarian, only the best products are coming in our house. Pina is an excellent cook and can lead you back and forth across the Sicilian kitchen, I'm more an experimental type, with me everything's going to be European at the stove. Fruits and vegetables are mostly organic produce.
If you would like nothing more than the house, you get the keys and that's it. Bed linen and towels are there and can on demand be changed at any time, otherwise once a week.
Pina is more or less in place while I go to Terrasini every day to do my job in my scuba center. So if someone wants to come with me in the boat to the sea and admire the grottoes of Terrasini or simply want to learn to dive.. Or if you prefer watch Pina while painting, better still, participate actively, no problem..
My job is not necessarily so that I never have time, some excursions to the surrounding attractions are always possible, otherwise you can rent a car here nearby with my assistance. The airport is ten minutes from here, don't worry, here you never hear planes taking off and landing or even while flying.
We do not offer great luxury, but a neat and tidy house in a rustic style:
