We had a great time in Sicily. The house is located on a hill with a beautiful sea view. I spent my holidays with my 2 year old daughter and my parents and the outside area of the house is really nice for kids as well, there are swings and chairs and we always had our coffee there. The house had two double beds and two single beds and it was very clean and authentic. It was very warm in July but since the house is located on a hill, it gets chillier during the night so that you can sleep well.
The family living next door was very sweet and helpful with any questions we had such as recommendations for restaurants, places etc. Also, when we arrived, they had a little birthday party for their daughter and even brought over some cake for us. The host Laura also sent us a lot of recommendations and was great in communicating with us. They both made us feel very welcome!
I would definitely recommend having a car, otherwise it might be difficult to get up to the house and other places. It takes roughly 30 minutes to get to Cefalu which is a beautiful town with a beach, many restaurants and lots of things to see. Most of the time, we went to a beach nearby (10 min drive) called "Torre Conca" which has a combination of sand and stones. For me, it was not the most beautiful beach (sand area a bit dirty) but the water was really great and it was very easy to get there with my daughter. In the evenings we went to different restaurants either in the neighboring village Castel de Tusa or in Cefalu and sometimes we also made food in the house. We always also enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace of the house.
All of us really enjoyed our time in Sicily, I would have stayed even longer if I could and I would definitely come back! Thank you Laura for being a great host!
