The pictures don't do the location justice. The pool is perfect for cooling off on a hot day, and not so deep you have to worry about older kids while they swim. The second I posted pictures on social media, friends messaged me asking for the link to the property!
Water is drinkable, but since it comes from a cistern, Vittorio recommends bottled water for drinking. It's good to stop at a supermarket before you get to the villa - maybe also get a bottle of wine to drink on the veranda :)
The air conditioning was very welcome with such hot weather, and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed to make our own Sicilian feast :)
I've never had a more peaceful holiday. My kids loved picking plums and pears from the trees near the house and hanging out with the neighboring cat and dog. Highly recommend!
