Massimo's house very much as in the pictures, very cozy, very nice, picture prefect, all on its own. It is a stay away form it all and yet, you can be back in a town in 15 minutes. Massimo was very welcoming and showed us all around the house. He was also very friendfly with directions.
We had great stay and took the advantage to relax with this beautiful view. The first time driving on the gravel path alongside the mountain is a bit scary, but it gets normal after some practice.
The beaches and town of Castellamara are very nice. Alcamo is a sleepy provincial town with a few nice spots (try the bar on piazza Vespri). Its also easy to get to Palermo and San Vito lo Capo.
