Fantastic 'cottage' situated in the expansive grounds of Roberto the host, who lives on site in his own property.
The whole site contains a fabulous swimming pool (attached to Roberto's house - but 2 mins walk and free to use at all times), tennis courts, lemon trees (pick your own!), olive grove etc.
The house interior is very well maintained and full of art, books, crockery and furniture that reflect the owner's Sicilian heritage, eclectic tastes and architectural backgrounds .
Large common spaces and a wonderful terrace made a big difference to us (a family of 4 with two teenagers).
Downsides? Internet was too slow for a modern family with devices. (Email possible, web browsing on first thing in the morning, Netflix? forget it !) That however shouldn't be a problem on a family holiday - however I'm glad I didn't have to put in a few hours work a day. Other than that...the only point would be that the pool is not attached to the actual property - and while it's absolutely stunning, you may run into Roberto's family sharing it. (That said, I only mention this for readers who might require total privacy. It caused absolutely no problem for us.)
Roberto was a genial host but not over attentive. I recommend, and hope to return.
