Elvira's place is exactly what I expected. I've lived in sicily before, so I knew the area. The space is immaculately clean. During my stay there was a lot of bad weather, but the house stayed perfectly warm, with plenty of hot water. Please note, unless you're very familiar with the area you will definitely need to arrive in your own car. Which, there is a large safe parking spot behind a locking gate that you control. Overall a very pleasant quiet stay, in a cozy and clean room. Don't let the bad roads scare you off, this is all part of sicilian charm, and give Elvira's house a try. :)
