Guest comments
"If you're looking for a relaxing place with all amenties situated on a beautiful stretch of Sicily this one is a must. The houses are absolutely lovely decorated and very well equipped. Everything was in a very good state: kitchen appliances, bath room, beds and matresses, the garden with the children playground ... you name it. The pictures on the Internet can't really capture the atmosphere, it's even better in reality. Our hosts were absolutely amicable and helpful: from free-of-charge international phone calls to Internet via DSL, tips for restaurants, sight-seeing, shopping and so on. We, that's my wife, me and our two year old son enjoyed it a lot. For sure this not the last time that we've been here!"

"A wonderful house on a wonderful location. Everything you need is there, and more. Beautifully furnished house, including the terrace (the only thing we missed was a parasol). The yard is great, we picked lots of almonds." Thanks Salavatore and Pascale
