We absolutely loved staying at Fernando's house. This is the southern Italy small town experience. While from Patu everything more "touristy" is very close, Patu itself offers very calm, easy going and cheap way of life. The nice feature is, that you can really chose between rocky and wilder coast on the east side, or sandy and calmer coast on the west side, it's just up to you what you prefer, as they're both very close. Of course, what has to be mentioned is hospitality of Fernando and his wife, who are both lovely persons and they literally thrive to make you feel welcome and cared about. It was huge pleasure to meet them and have chance to spend some little time with them.
