Casa D'Acquisto

General information

Solanto

3 apartments | 400 mq

16 guests

Casa D’Acquisto is a waterfront villa located in the beautiful gulf of Solanto, 20 minutes away from Palermo. After being let down for more than 10 years, the new owner – an Australian who fell in love with this Sicilian corner of paradise, confided us the tasks of renovating the house with the goal of renting the three different apartments as B&Bs.

After seven months of hard work, the villa was finally restored and started welcoming many guests from all over the world. To this day, the three listings all are Superhost and rated 5.0 stars.
