Long story short our 10 days at Casa Pedro was a memorable stay. It provided plenty of peace and beauty. Here are a several upsides and a few downsides/potential points of concern for some:
Upsides
The location and surroundings: Quiet, pittoresque with sublime views. Being on top of a little hill provided a stunning panorama. The end of the day when the sun begins its descent is particularly spectacular -- time seems to slow and the light variations offer quite a spectable. That type of "unaltered" location is harder and harder to find and it puts one you in a different and peaceful state of mind. At the same time, the villa is only 20 minutes away from convenient grocery stores in nearby Rossolini, Noto and Marzamemi (two of our favorites for evenings stolls, drinks and dinner) and from Aqua Beach Club in San Lozenzo (a friendly, convenient and welcoming beach club on a pristine sandy beach).
The style and facilities of the villa: The pictures speak for themselves. The villa is well built, functional and thought thru. The kitchen is definitely the main area where breakfasts can be enjoyed with the front windows wide open and where preparing dinners, drinks in hands, while observing the sunset spectable unfold is a favored setting.
Communications and help: Everyone from Thomas, Laura (who welcomed us) and Giovanni (on standby and very responsive if handy-help is necessary) invariably provided kind, timely and useful support.
Downsides / Potential points of concern:
Shadow and shaded spots immediately around the pool are scarce during hot afternoons spent at the villa. We were able to benefit from 2 or 3 square meters from an umbrella/parasol but it was enough for only 2 people at a time. But then again, that might not be an issue for everyone, and there is eating area nearby as a back-up.
Presence of bees: I am not sure if it happens at other time of the year but bees came to freshen-up at both far ends of the pool during the day. (Understood its recurring at most pools in such arid and preserved areas) It wasn't problematic for us as we quickly understood we only had to let them do their things and they wouldn't bother us. But it could be an issue for anyone with severe bee allergies.
Access to the villa is rocky at times. There is 1.5-ish km of unpaved road leading up to the villa that is definitely best managed by an SUV type of vehicle. I guess it is the price to pay to benefit from such location and scenery. As far as I am concerned that rocky ride was well worth it.
