Thank you for a beautiful countryside getaway! A perfect hideaway in the mountains in a picturesque village. Where time stops and self awareness starts. It was so quiet and peaceful that I could finally hear my own thoughts.
There was a hammock for both of us, where we could loose ourselves in reading, thinking and daydreaming. And we could reunite again at a stunning well-equipped verandah surrounded by olive trees.
I liked the fact that it is not a property for rent, but a real home which Giulia's family use for their holidays. It was made with love and attention to detail.
The studio was very clean and cosy.
The nearby village Ferla is a gem with a typical Sicilian community and beautiful old houses. There is a couple of supermarkets where you can buy your groceries. We also liked to have pizzas at the local pizzeria La Lanterna.
Casa is perfectly placed for hiking and swimming in the canyons of Valle dell'Anapo. It is 50 min drive to Syracuse and a beach.
We were welcomed by Giulia's parents who were very friendly and helpful. It took us quite some time to get a car at the airport, so we made them wait for a couple of hours. Giulia's mother was very thoughtful and prepared delicious cous cous for us. They kindly showed us around Ferla, the nearby village. Giulia was always quick to respond and was very helpful and nice to talk to.
Thank you!
