We stayed in Emilia's house in the first part of July 2017 and is a family with a 2-year old kid.
The house is on elevated place so you can see part of the area towards the see from the above. There is also partial see view here and there in between houses below Emilia's place. You can enjoy the view during eating on the balcony.
The garden is really amazing, we didn't see anything similar in the nearby. It really helps to escape the heat during the hottest hours of the day.
The cleanliness was very good and kitchen was equipped with anything you need when you are cooking. Emilia is very kind and hospitable host. She left for us Sicilian chocolate (special one), bottle of Sicilian wine and bottle of cold water in the fridge. We also enjoyed Italian coffee that Emilia left in the kitchen. When we arrived we also found guidance and some directions what we may see around and where we may find good places to eat.
Among others, the house is equipped with air conditioner that helps you to feel additional comfort in Sicilian heat.
Communication with Emilia was very good: she helped with any question we have had. The only issue we could not overcome is the problem with wifi: Emilia contacted her internet/telephone company but they could not resolve it. So, I had to by a SIM card with Italian mobile 4G internet (operator is called TIM) that resolved the problem with internet for me (moreover, you have it almost everywhere with you where you carry your mobile phone).
Other small thing is that the house is on a walkable distance from the beach. When you return from the beach to house you have to go uphill. With a baby stroller and in conditions of surrounding heat it might be a bit challenging.
There is also construction just next to Emilia's house (the building of new hotel or apartments). In the workdays you may experience noise from it with variable intensity. But if you plan to spend whole day on the beach or in travel by adjacent areas it will not disturb you at all.
In conclusion, I want to repeat that Emilia is a great host and you definitely will enjoy her house with a beautiful garden in a close proximity to the sea and good sandy beach.
