A very chilled, cool and wonderfully situated house overlooking a verdant hillside to the sea.
Donatello and Massimina have created a low key and stylish place we really enjoyed. Perfect for two, great for four people who don’t mind a lower level of audio privacy as there are heavy curtain hangings but no internal doors between the bedrooms.
Plenty of scope for doing all basic cooking, and an excellent barbecue. If you plan to cook, bring along some olive oil along with your other shopping.
Good things to know:
- there’s a bit of wild coastal swimming at the foot of the hill. Great on calm days.

- sunsets are stunning, and easily seen from a vantage point nearby which D&M can tell you about.
- for a really relaxed sundowner scene, head to San Gregorio (5 mins by car) at 30 minutes before sundown. Go to Bar del Moro (excellent food too) and buy tokens for drinks to then “cash in” at the bar. It gets busy, and that’s the system. You then also get some nice pittule and crostini for aperitivo. Head to the piazza wall across the road, or upstairs to the roof terrace.
- it’s also easy to swim from the slipway and rocks just across from the same bar. Brilliant.
We’re already thinking about coming back!
