Although we did not meet Federico in person he was always quick to respond or help. We had problems with our hire car and being 2 hours from the airport made things very problematic....we were really struggling to deal with this until he stepped in and helped....thank u so much. Chiro and Maria who live on site were delightful. Although speaking no English/and us no Italian we were able to communicate and they could not have been more helpful or kind❤️
We stayed in a separate cottage/studio that was very quaint. Basic but had what u needed. We found too hot to sleep in upper area as aircon didn’t seem to reach that far so we slept on sofa bed which actually very comfy. Wear plenty mosi repellant...has sprayed myself but I was still a 3 course meal to them on first night!! This place is great for those who want total peace, quiet and tranquility. You would need car to get to supermarket or beach. Nearest town for coffee/supermarket is 5 mins away by car but not really touristy so we drove 15mins to Capo D’Olando beach.
Hired sun beds at Beach club 147 -great pizza- which is next to a newly built marina-good for eve meal and people watching! Drove to Messina which as nice (check out the 2 lakes just inland from sea north of the city -very pretty) ....Found driving in Sicily an experience ....not for the faint hearted!
