Orlando gave us a very warm welcome and explained us a lot about things to do and see around his place. The communication war very good and he promptly picked us up on his bicycle when we couldn't find his house. The house is very nice and stylish and has everything you need for a good stay. We loved Orlandos tomatoes and the figs his wife gave us. Although Orlando and his wife just had a baby, they did everything they could to make us feel good at their home. Usually we get into closer contact with the families we stay with, but it's understood that with a new baby this is not possible. The surrounding is very nice, Marzamemi is incredible and the beaches in Vendicari very nice. Stunning, though full in July is Calamosche, where we also had a very nice lunch at the Agriturismo (thanks for the hint, Orlando). To get around you need a car - there is a shop in Marzamemi, which is easy to reach on foot - only during our stay it was too hot for us to walk. Unfortunately the street was quite loud, but this was probably due to the Film Festival in Marzamemi which coincided with our stay. One of the nicest things in the house was the outside shower under the palm tree - we enjoyed having a cool shower looking and listening to the palm tree leaves rustling in the wind. Thanks for everything, Orlando and all the best for you and your lovely family. Carina and family
