Maison Brigitte is a two-room apartment renovated just this year (2017). It is located on the second floor of a house perfectly situated right on main street in Santa Flavia. This holiday rental has a wonderful view of the sea, and not only do you get to enjoy a private balcony where you can have breakfast and relax, you also have access to the rooftop terrace (shared with the Casa Colibri apartment) equipped with a barbecue as well as table and chairs. Maison Brigitte has a bright and well-lit interior (facing south) and has decorative touches ranging from the Sicilian Baroque to modern Paris and Berlin. The beach is a mere one kilometer away, and the train station is 300 meters from your door. From Maison Brigitte you can easily reach Cefalù (45 minutes by train) and Palermo (just 15 minutes).

In the surrounding neighborhoods you will find bars and cafes, supermarkets and restaurants, as well as the precious community garden done in the liberty style.

Santa Flavia is a clean, welcoming, and well taken care of city that’s an ideal destination for those who want to experience the authentic Sicily. There are almost too many things to see and places to visit (such as the ancient ruins of Solunto and nearby Bagheria). Plus there are many easy ways to access the sea (maps are available in the apartment).

You will find all the information you need on how to participate in organized trips, diving, guided tours, and boat trips all in the apartment.

Santa Flavia – A hidden treasure on the outskirts of Palermo

Off the tourist routes but worthy of any guide book, this quintessentially Sicilian little town is an undiscovered jewel. A quiet, well maintained residential neighbourhood served by a railway station in the centre of town, Santa Flavia is the ideal base for those who want to discover the real Sicily without renting a car.

In twenty minutes you can be in historic Palermo, and within an hour you can be running your toes through the fine golden sand of one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole island, in Cefalù.

In lively and welcoming Santa Flavia, everything you need is close at hand. The smell of fresh bread and coffee is everywhere throughout the day, and for fruit and vegetables you don’t even have to leave your house – experience the timeless charm of buying succulent, locally grown produce from grocers who weave through the streets and alleys of town bringing their delicious fare direct to your door.

With its sister town of Porticello, Santa Flavia forms the second largest fishing port in Sicily. Every day you can try your hand at preparing a new fish dish with the most freshly caught fare money can buy. If you’re not an expert in the kitchen, the town is packed with wonderful fish restaurants to cater to every palate.

Up the mountain in the morning with an unforgettable sea view, lunch and siesta in your holiday letting, to the beach in the afternoon and to the new trendy pizzeria in town in the evening.

These routes are perfect for a bike – or rather for the right bike like the one in the photo above. Because you can even get up the mountain on one – and you don’t have to be an athlete to do so.

So it fits perfectly that the local company Sicula Bike rents out bicycles to guests of this holiday letting.

On this page you will find information about the bike and here is a list of the accessories supplied and the prices. Sicula Bike would like your bike to accompany you throughout the holiday. The minimum hire period is therefore 7 days.
