Our stay at Il Gelso was nothing less than incredible. Claudio made us feel welcome from the very beginning and ensured we had everything we needed. We were lucky to have great weather during October, which provided us with some of the best views we've ever experienced. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything necessary for home cooking, which we did a couple of times - sampling some of the local produce. There are many beaches around the island that are easily accessible by car, Claudio even lent us some snorkelling equipment for the day to enjoy our swims even more. It has been by far the most relaxing stay of our exploration of Sicily and its islands. We are sad to leave such a beautiful and peaceful place, but I guess we'll just have to come back again :-)
