Giovanni and his wife are fantastic hosts; very caring, heartly and helpful! Their house is gorgeous; it has a large garden with a nice barbecue place, a stunning pool and plenty of deck chairs. Giovanni and his wife are living in the appartment on ground floor and the appartment they rent is on the 2nd floor with seperate access and a nice terrace (from where you can see the sea and on very clear days even Etna). The appartment is stylish decorated and has a fully furnished kitchen (incl. salt/olive oil etc.). It is situated in a calm area (you need a car to get around) - 5min to the sandy beach, 5min to Pachino (with plenty of grocery stores, bakeries etc.) and ca. 10min to Marzamemi (with its lovely Piazza and beautiful restaurants). We can highly recommend the place to couples and families with up to 2 kids. Our kids fell in love with their 2 dogs - both extremely tender, caring and "kidsfriendly". We had to promise our kids to come back and are looking forward to it!
