We enjoyed very much our two weeks in Grazia's house and garden. Grazia, her son and his girlfriend welcomed us very warmly! They live nearby only about two houses away, where you can hear frogs croaking :o) Besides, you will often hear romantic sheep bells …
The house is furnished very individually with some antiques, decorated with maritime maps and special literature, we really felt at home immediately. All windows have fly screens so that the mosquitos stay out. You can use a poison diffuser indoors additionally. The kitchen is very well-equipped. The WIFI also worked very well. The TV has Italian stations only (but you won't need it). There are a brand new fridge and washing mashine. We used the BBQ a lot, the adjoining veranda is equipped with table and chairs and also sun chairs.
But what we enjoyed most was the lovely tropical garden with huge palm trees etc. You can find enough private spots there – in the sun or in the shadow! And for sun lovers, the roof terrace has a great 360° view, the close mountains are impressive, and you even get a glimpse of the nearby sea.
The sea is really close at walking distance, but you can also take the house's bikes to get to your favourite cove (take thongs with you for some pebble beaches). The landscape is great in May/June, lots of flowers, still very green. Also ideal for running and hiking tours. We climbed up to the top of the Monte Cofano and can also recommend the loop trail at both Cofano and Zingaro Nature Reserve.
For shopping, you will need a car (which can be parked on the fenced site). Good supermarkets in San Vito and Custonaci. Good Pescheria in San Vito (the pescheria in Castelluzzo was closed). Pizzeria Number One in Castelluzzo has delicious pizzas!
