Best place in Sicily!!
Only thing we've regret was not being able to stay a few more days in this gem. We stayed in beautiful places on the island, however this was the best of all. Ask our son of 14 years old and he will say the same. He managed to claim the bedroom upstairs with his own bathroom and roof terrace.:-)
The house is build and nicely renovated within an old farm house / baglio. Elena and her husband did a very good job, a sharp eye for design and details.
There is no tv or dishwasher, which we loved, a little bit 'back to basic' and still the house has all you need. Well equiped kitchen, bathroom, living room, wifi, airco and details like a drying rack and a parasol for the beach etc etc. It has its own private patio and roof terrace. And in front of the house there is the courtyard where you can also sit down to relax. The baglio is surrounded by all kind of trees: palm, orange, olive etc etc. Just so beautiful. And the driveway to the baglio gives you that relaxing peaceful state of mind. Yet, a luxurious feeling too.
The baglio is within minutes drive from the beach and is a perfectly situated from a lot of other great places to visit in western Sicily. Do not miss out on the Riserva dello Zingaro, the Tonnara die Scopello, lovely Castellammare di Golfo, Balestrate (where the baglio is closely located to) also has a nice beach when you drive a little further from the more busiest one and of course Palermo etc etc. Easily reached from the highway and still so quiet. It felt like home away from home. Elena makes you feel so welcome and is a great host.
Highly recommended!!
