Pietro
How does one review paradise? Both home and host were exceptional. Pietro made every effort to make our visit easy and comfortable. Knowing we had rented a car, he arranged to meet us and lead us directly to the property. We arrived in the evening, just in time to witness the ‘golden hour’ bathe Capo Zafferano. Anticipating our needs, he generously provided breakfast snacks and juices for the morning to follow. He’d prepared maps of the area, to include directions to the local lighthouse, an absolute “must see”. He provided contact information for local establishments, including excellent nearby restaurants such as Can Caus, where we were able to have a delightful meal because Pietro, at our request, called ahead to book on an otherwise busy Saturday night.
The view from the house was mesmerizing. Watching the seabirds soar over the nearby Tyrrenian Sea calmed the spirit. The bay window in the living room afforded fantastic sunrises. It was a joy to have morning tea and coffee on the patio, surrounded by cacti and a stunning rock garden.
The house was generously sized and tastefully appointed. The blue and white décor echoed the sea and sky. The kitchen’s footprint was ample. An oven, stove, refrigerator and microwave were provided. There were spices in the spice rack. There was even a waffle iron!
The property was very private and quiet. We felt like we were in a very special place.
Special amenities included a washing machine, clothesline, and a powerstrip – essential in this day of cell phones and computers.
Pietro was such a thoughtful host. He welcomed us with locally-harvested lemons and a bottle of Sicilian wine. He punctually arrived on the day of checkout, personally assuring our stay had been as magical as promised. He was even willing to pose with us in a departure selfie.
I have nothing but praise for Villa Zabbara Capo Zafferano. Were it that all Airbnb properties were so inviting and well-managed.
