We were late to check in on the first evening because our flight was delayed and then the car rental agency took an age. I was somewhat anxious because we were meeting Sergio at a local petrol station/cafe where he would then take us on to our accommodation (it’s remote and the first time you visit GPS might not be so helpful). But Sergio was very responsive via text and we were able to meet up with him (we were nearly 90 minutes late). It was no trouble and he was very understanding of the fact that we were travelling with two young children (7 and 4) who were tired beyond their minds. When we arrived, he had even stocked the fridge with water, pasta sauce and dried pasta. A really thoughtful arrival.
The location is idyllic, surrounded by mountains scorching in the Sicilian heat. Dragon flies chase each other over the swimming pool, lizards scatter across the wall and cicadas sing in the balmy evenings. Lovely!
Inside, it’s modern - sparse in that cool minimalist way - but, most important is that ever room is air conditioned. The fitted kitchen has an oven, fridge and microwave - all the things you would expect.
In the main, it’s pretty quiet. Even when the family from the main house are having fun at the pool, you cannot really hear them. A couple of nights, when outside, we could hear what seemed to be a club in the distance, but again, once inside it wasn’t a problem.
Sergio and his friend Daniele were both very supportive during our stay with numerous tips for days out and suggestions for managing our time.
Couldn’t rate this host more highly.
