Alessandra picked up out daughter who was arriving by bus separately from us. We thought that was above and beyond which we really appreciated. We had a nice fruit bowl and some beverages, as well. Unfortunately, we locked ourselves out the very first evening and Alessandra came to our rescue at 11 PM. The house has everything we needed in the kitchen including coffee and basic supplies. Even beach towels were provided. We were unable to get the stove top inside to work, but we managed well with the outdoor cooking facilities. Alessandra tried to send a repair person, but we were on an adventure to a winery that day. The area was very deserted, as we were off season, so there was no noise around us. We enjoyed peaceful time on the verandas with our morning coffee and evenings too. We did frequently need insect repellant when outside. Our power in the area went out during a brief rainstorm, but was back on when we returned later in the day. We enjoyed time at the beach on several days and it was a great location to continue our Sicilian adventures. My husband and I, our friend and adult daughter, were able to have a wonderful time together both at the house and around the area.
Alessandra also arranged for a wonderful cooking lesson and dining experience for us. This is a must do if you want a fantastic Sicilian eating experience in a beautiful setting.
