Wow, what a great place to relax and get relief from all the busy days back home! After two fun nights in Catania, Sara's and Raffaelle's sweet little backcountry hideout is just the perfect spot to soulsurf, and ease your mind. After travelling to five different locations all across the island, we happily confirm that the southeast of Sicily, and especially Sara's and Raffaelle's house was the number one spot on our trip, since it doesn't get more laid back then in the south. Just five to ten minutes away in various directions you find amazing beaches (playa Grande or Sampiero) where you can enjoy solitude instead of heavily crowded beaches in the northwest. And if you like to drive for another 15 minutes you find even more beautiful beaches - raffa knows best and will glady help you find everything. The tranquility of the olive hills sweeps over right away and is also to be found in the little village Donnaluccata, with a) the best restaurant of our entire sicily trip > Il Consiglio di Donnaluccata! This is not an advice - this is MUST!!! And the best ice cream, we found in all of Sicily, and believe me, I tried ice cream everwhere, everyday :-) Go to Blue Moon in Donnaluccata, order Pistacchio and fall in love! Again, this is not an advice, this is a MUST! The house is also amazing for nice homecooked dinners or barbecues on the beautiful and large terrace. And regarding our hosts, first of all, everything is superclean, second of all, you have a lot of handy things already there, that you might need for the beach (umbrella, chairs,etc) or their selfmade olive oil (yummy) and third of all, if you have any other questions - Sara and Raffaelle will have a nice answer in good english! We give a six on a five star rating! One last thing, if you are travelling with friends, this just might be the perfect place for you, since there a two seperate apartments next to each other, so perfectly arranged for a party of four. Last but not least, we want to thank you again for a wonderful time and wish you all the best for the upcoming birth of your second kid!!!!!!
Grazie per tutti
