We enjoyed a relaxing week in the villa. It has everything you need for your holiday!
It is an old charming Sicily house. If you like modern style villas you should choose something else but we prefer this style of accommodation!
The pool and garden was great and we enjoyed the outdoor shower under the lemon trees. The house was big and spacious. It was also very clean, something we really appreciate. But keep in mind that it is an old house and therefore it can not be spotless. But that is the charm with this kind of villas.
In the evening you can sit outside and watch the Ionian Sea and the lights from the small villages, beautiful.
As mentioned the road to the villa is something for the brave to master but you can park about 100 meters from the villa and walk a small road to get there. The host Giuseppe took our luggage with his car all the way to the door so we did not have to carry it.
Let’s talk about the house owner Giuseppe. He was an amazing host and you could always contact him if you needed anything. He was also of big help when we needed to visit the local doctor with our child, he took care of everything since we don’t speak Italian. We also appreciated a visit by Paolo that manages the rental. It is always great with personal meetings.
The little village of Furci Siculo has a great beach with stunning clear water and we loved that there where basically no other tourists there. The restaurants in the village was great and we recommend a visit to bar Mimmo (bar/pasticceria/Gelateria). In 20 minutes drive you can reach the mountain-village Savoca. The restaurant there “Gel Sonero” is worth a visit.
