We had a lovely 3 nights here. It's a wonderful, spacious and clean home, in the heart of Scicli - a beautiful medieval town. Although Gabriella was away at the time of our stay, the keys were left with one of her friendly neighbours who greeted us on our arrival. Be warned, very little English is spoken so be prepared for a more interesting experience in communication if you're not familiar with the local lingo. We found parking on the hill in front of the church and I recommend you use a GPS device for accurate direction, I can imagine it being stressful to find without this.
We really felt like we were living how the locals do as we were in the heart of their neighbourhood. The house is located on a hill with steps (good way to get fit!) and is on three floors with a truly panoramic view of the town and surrounding hillside homes and ancient architecture from its' secluded rooftop terrace. We spent our evenings gazing at the stars over some wine from the region, whilst sitting on the pivate and peaceful terrace. Gabriella's home is fully quipped to make your stay comfortable and even has two bathrooms. There are a couple of friendly, little supermarkets nearby where you can buy fresh bread – also look out for the local farmers who tend to sell off the back of their trucks.
During our stay, we visited the nearby towns of Modica (great Sicilan food at this Osteria restaurant), Saragusa, the coastal beach of Comune di Pozzallo. These are all within twenty minutes driving from Gabriella's home. And be warned - driving in Sicily is crazy.
