There is always some suspense and mystery when you arrive to your AIRBNB place. Is the place as good as it looks on the pictures? are the hosts as nice as they are described on the reviews? the roller coaster of feelings could vary from entertaining to disappointing. When you exit the highway (SS113) to enter the little dirt road to get to Simona's place, you feel that you have just landed on the moon; but a minute later you enter the NATURARTE; and this is the point when your roller coaster car goes up and up and up and never goes down again; the welcoming host will take you to your room and you'll be speechless form the beauty, the design, the calmness and cleanness of the place. Amazing fruits will sweeten your arrival; one surprise will surpass another, especially when you enter the bathroom and see the gigantic tub that you don't find in the best beauty spa. Put on the bathing suit and run to the beautiful pool, two steps from your room. Relax under the shade and enjoy the views of the rocky hill or the the sea down the horizon. And now comes the dessert of my review. Her name is SIMONA.
When i booked this place, I had no idea that I am also getting the GOOGLE of south-west Sicily. There are no enough words to describe what Simona did for us. She went out of her way to provide us with guidance, assistance and warmth. Her outstanding knowledge, intelligence, professionalism but most of all charm made our vacation a dream. She will provide us with suggestions in the most 'difficult' situations: like romantic dinner at 11:30 at night or a satelite picture with the path to access a rocky beach... an advise for every taste. I can go on and on... Simona also wrote a little book with places to visit and activities to do while in the area. AMAZING.
I don't want to leave myself out of this long review. I travel - I travel I travel a lot. At least 3 months every year going to remote paradises to cosmopolitan places. I have used AIRBNB since the first days of its existence. Simona's place was probably the best one.
Thank you Simona and your family.
