Giovanni is a thoughtful and experienced host and, together with his wonderful family, will have you have a taste of the life in Sicily. Only if you want to off course, if you want to rest on the beach all day that is possible too, which by the way is very pleasant as well.
The house is beautifully located at a tranquil local beach. We had three kids (two without decent swimming skills), but that did not give any problems, since the (enormous) garden is completely fenced. Also good to know is that the beach has a very gentle decent, so no sudden deep parts or currents. Quite ideal for kids.
The area around Menfi is very good for daily breakouts; Sciacca, lovely beaches, Ancient Greek settlements and much more. If only we had more time…. Maybe next time…..
