AURUSA - Casa Vacanze Pollina, Sicilia autentica

Great location and super friendly hosts!

This is a unique and amazing place in a small, historical and very friendly small town. We were met by Salvina, who was welcoming, friendly and helpful. She explained the parking, which was free and available, once you understand how it works. We found friendly people and had a great meal at Bar San Antonio, and found a closeby spot where we could buy milk and yogurt. We only missed the Bar in Piazza Duomo as it was closed on Monday.

Pollina is a small historic village high up above Cefalu. . . and includes plenty of stairs and some steep climbing, so it may not be for everyone. We enjoyed it, but be sure to communicate with your host about how to arrive in this town, especially if you have a car. A MAP of this little town would be VERY helpful to have when guests arrive.

Vielen Dank an die Gastgeber für diese wundervolle Unterkunft. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden AURUSA allen Freunden empfehlen, die uns demnächst in Pollina besuchen werden.

The host is very helpful and quick to reply. Very cool and modern apartment, spread out over 4 small floors. Pollina is a very picturesque and authentic town, I highly recommend this place for a more off the path experience, where you can't really expect the locals to speak English very much. The views are stunning indeed.

Absolutely gorgeous property, ideally situated in the gorgeous Pollina. Communication with the owner was simple and we were met at the property by Salvina who made sure we settled in and was always available to answer any queries we had. All in all, it's an absolutely beautiful property in a gorgeous setting. We'll definitely be back.

Finding somewhere to park a car is a bit of an issue but it's a very small issue.

This is a dream house! It is tucked away in the hill town of Pollina, and has a magnificent view from the 4th floor balcony. The staff was amazing and extremely attentive to our every need. The home is ultra modern in an ancient place. I hope we can stay again.

Nothing.

Very nicely renovated house with 4 floors in the centre of a lovely hilltop village. Amazing views from the balcony, and a nice little shaded courtyard at the bottom. Surprisingly, the village is quite lively, with snack bars at the top near the tower, a bakery, several cafes and little souvenir shops, a pizzeria, the museo della grappa, and the Greek-style open air theatre. It's within striking distance of Cefalù and is in the Madonie national park, which is good for hiking.

Best advice is not to try and park near the house. The roads are narrow and steep. There is a small car park at the bottom of the hill, but we found parking pretty easily on Viale Kennedy, just drive all the way to the top of the road, turn around at the top and park in the first space you find on the way down. If you have passengers and luggage you can drop them at the top while you go in search of your space.

This property it's just amazing. Big and spacious. Very clean and well looked after. The views are amazing. We like so much the Pollina and location, that we bought small house here.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

The house is located in the heart of Pollina, which is a lovely small town. In the night it offers an amazing sky full of starts. the neighbours were all very friendly, specially Maria who lives just opposite the accommodation and the house was very clean and had everything we needed.

if you rent a car, the parking situation can be difficult, the streets are very narrow and we tried to get to the house by car the first day and it was a mistake, don’t try that. the house has 4 floors, and it wasn’t a problem for us but for my parents it was a bit difficult going up and down the many stairs, inside and outside the house.

I don't know where to start, so that you can understand what a special location this is. We booked the apartment for the last part of our honeymoon, having previously traveled all over Italy. Of all the places that we stayed, we left here with the best opinion by far. Everything is wonderful, from the kindness of the people who took care of us, to the beauty of the place and the surroundings. We recommend it wholeheartedly and we will definitely come back here. We would like to thank once again Mrs. Maria (the owner of the apartment, a truly special person), also Mrs. Silvina (the woman who takes care of the apartment and who can help you with anything)

take into account that you definitely need a car for this place
