Fausta & her family made us feel very welcome during our stay. The grounds and house are very beautiful and peaceful. The breakfast is outstanding and we looked forward to it every morning. It is eaten outside on a long table with a few other guests (if there are others there at the time). The central house is shared by Fausta, her family, as well as other guests. But it is very quiet and beautifully decorated. Our room was in a separate building from the rest of the house which was perfect for having our 1 year old there.
We went in to close by Vittoria at night, which has an authentic atmosphere. We also drove to Agrigento, Scicli, Monica, & Ragusa which we enjoyed. We stayed 4 nights and felt this was a good amount of time to explore the area. We also stayed near Etna & Syracuse as well to explore those areas. This is a great base to visit the Southern coast and you won't be disappointed with the accommodations.
