Giuseppina was extremely kind, punctual and helpful in welcoming us to her house, giving us all the required information and the basics on the property, which includes a garden and direct access to the sea. The place was super clean and charming. It is perfect for a small family or a couple and works well also for long stays. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was a life-saver for us because we were in Macari during the hottest week ever recorded in Sicily. The strong piece of the house is the splendid terrace from which we could enjoy dinner every evening looking at the shocking Macari sunsets. From the sea side gate, we could easily walk to a small delightful pebble beach or access the sea from the rocks that were easy to jump from and climb back on.
The area is incredibly beautiful and still largely pristine with a varied landscape ranging from sandy or pebble beaches, to high spaghetti-western hills and small bays on the sea. With the inevitable crowds of Italian tourists in August, we generally opted for more remote places (15 minutes by car) and were able to find many excellent spots not at all crowded. We also loved our days on a rental boat where we could explore the coast from the sea, which I totally recommend.
San Vito is an easy place to navigate as a tourist and all kind of supplies are available from a variety of efficient shops. We enjoyed some amazing local tuna and sword fish steaks and also some local meat and sausages. Sicilian fruits and patisserie, including the incredible granite and cannoli, sealed the deal.
