There was only one thing wrong with Dario's place and that was that we could not stay longer. Just outside Cefalu on a long white sandy beach is Dario's property just the way it has been for generations. He has not given in to the call of the developers and put cotAge upon cottage over then place. His family and he live on the farm and there are va riots cottages you can rent. We stayed in Carob Cottage. It is basic but everything you need to stay is there and very clean. There is enough of everything too. You have the inside and a huge outside area in the shade or sun with a BBQ and tables. Lenss than five minutes and you are out the back gate and on the beach. If you need lemons then you pick t,hem off the tree. Dario makes you feel genuinly welcomed and very much at home. The cottage is authentic because it is what it is. We really enjoyed our time and went off for some day trips on Dario's advice. He knows the island. And at night it is so very quiet.
