One magical week... If you like to sleep under the stars, swim in the crystal clear blue water, taste perfectly chilled Italian wine, practice your barbecue technic on your favorite Mediterranean catch of the day, lounge around in casually-chic tent with breathtaking sea-front view of the Mediterranean sea...then Dammuso is the place for you!!!

Although getting there was not easy because Martingana is such a small and remote village, we felt like the journey itself was also part of our family adventure. My husband and I met each other while we were traveling so we decided that we would travel as much as we can even after our first son was borned. Knowing that traveling with children is never an easy task, we dedicated a fews days just for getting from Rome to Martingana which made getting there more fun and less stressful. Our efforts were immediately rewarded just as we all arrived at Dammuso. It really felt like we were right at home. The pictures do not do Dammuso justice. You can tell that Roberta really put her heart into making her home look and feel special. Our children were all completely energized yet relaxed at the same time. They especially loved the outdoor areas and we loved the privacy that the property provides. We chose Dammuso because of its isolation, but because we are so used to being connected all the time it was not easy the first day. However, it didn´t take very long at all before we stopped thinking about the phones. There were so many things that we enjoyed doing slowly together that there wasn´t any time to think about the internet. Our children loved going to the fish market with us to see all the colorful fish. We had plenty of time to play games , to draw, and just be together as a family. Most of all we all loved swimming in the beautiful little cove just below us. One day Roberta invited us to taste some of the grapes that she has growing just behind the house, it was a unique experience for our children to pick their own grapes from the vines. Normally, my husband and I like to go out and explore local restaurants but with so many fresh local ingredients we enjoyed spending time preparing our own meals so much that we really did not feel the need to leave this magical place. We want to send special thanks to Angela for taking such good care of us. We asked Angela to prepare dinner for us the first night when we arrived and again on the last night of our stay. Angela´s food was so delicious that we couldn´t leave without having some more of her cooking. Thank you Angela and Roberta for creating such a special place. We cannot wait to return again next year!!
