Gaetano's parents were very welcoming although we arrived a little earlier in the afternoon than we had suggested in our communication with Gaetano. They gave us refreshments on the terrace while the cottage was cleaned after the previous guest's departure. The family have made a beautiful garden (an oasis) amongst the olive groves. It is in a lovely area with beautiful views though there was noisy traffic on the nearby road early some mornings. The cottage was quite small but cosy and charming and with the little terrace a perfect spot for dinner in the lovely weather during our stay. After a day spent exploring the nearby attractions the pool was a very nice place to cool off in the afternoon. The little kitchen made food preparation a bit challenging at times but was fine for simple meals. We appreciated the kindness shown to us by Gaetano's parents during our stay (and the Sicilian treats). The family pets made it feel like home.
