This was a lovely apartment in the middle of a beautiful estate surrounded by olive groves outside Sciacca. Ignazio was extremely kind to us...always helpful and really cared to make our stay pleasant. He had the kitchen filled with all the essentials and treats for the kids. We especially loved his own olive oil--grown on the estate and he left us a wonderful bottle! We stayed three nights in the winter (February). We enjoyed visiting the Sciacca which is only a few minutes away by car. Also, we had a wonderful day hiking and playing on the beach at the Riserva Naturale Orientata di Torre Salsa. The beds were very comfortable and the property was quiet--we slept deeply. Our kids had a great time playing in the large yard which is enclosed and peaceful. The only thing that made us a bit sad was the beautiful, huge, white dog (7 months) kept in a cement enclosure just a bit away from our apartment. He was only taken out one time that we noticed. It did not seem like he was taken for walks. Perhaps he was just in there while we were visiting. I hope so, because a dog like that really needs a lot of care and attention and exercise. It made us-- especially our children --feel depressed not to see him able to run and play.
