We had a lovely stay at Doris and Massimo’s, who were delightful hosts!
They brought us yummy eggs from their hens, delicious black olives and home made apricot jam :-)
The property is a big house where Doris and Massimo live on the ground floor and there are 4 flats on the first floor (with beautiful large terraces on amazing views and comfy deck chairs), just the perfect size for a family of 4 or for 4 friends. Everyone else staying at Doris was lovely and polite, in fact it was nice to bump into other guests for a chat and exchange of tips on places to see.
We did not stay in Gufo appartiene in the end (not Papera but one of the other twos with bigger terraces on the other side). The washing machine is in the communal area but we had easy access to it twice during our short stay and it was in perfect working order.
The flat was very practical with all the commodities and furnished in a simple style yet welcoming. Doris made beach umbrellas and chairs available to take with us during the day and lent us a big box of Lego for the kids to play with, together with some crayons and board games!
The property is very close to Sciacca itself, but it is immersed in the countryside, amongst beautiful olive trees fields (there is even a 2000 years old olive tree in the property!). There is a private parking space for each flat in the shade, handy if you have a rented car.
Whilst staying at Doris and Massimo’s, we went to visit Agrigento and the Temple Valley and we saw Scala dei Turchi from the top of the cliff (both locations about 1 hour away by car); we went to the beach in Torre Salsa Natural Reserve and Eraclea Minoa (about 30 minutes away); we visited the Enchanted Castle in Sciacca for a relaxing afternoon in a beautiful garden with view on the sea and we had the best Pistacchio ice cream ever in Terrazza Scandaglia, which also has a beautiful view on Sciacca’s harbour (those are 10 mins drive from the property). On our way north, we stopped in Renella beach which is part of Capo San Marco’s Natural Reserve (25 minutes away).
Def recommend, thanks so much for having us!
