We chose Fortunato's place as a base to explore the western side of Sicily. It's perfectly placed to reach the beaches to the north and south and all the sites in the west. The house itself is beautiful, exactly as it appears in the pictures, and is very well-equipped, particularly in the kitchen department. Fortunato is a great communicator and provided us with all the information we needed prior to arrival. His parents then took care of everything while we were there - you really couldn't hope to meet nicer people. Can't recommend this place enough!
