We were the first guests of Anna. The house it's situated in a little village, 20-minute walking distance on road between the non-croweded beach and the Natural Reserve of the river Platani, possible to reach by a path shadowed by pine and eucaliptus trees.
It is near Natural parks and archeological sites. Nature and culture. And Gastronomy of course.
Situated on a large, bare and sunny piece of land (The garden still needs to grow), the house it's never too warm thanks to the really big, ventilated and fresh veranda that made the warm days barable, wile at night we had the fan.
We've been 8 days sorrounded by silence and solitude, with no guests or neightbours. We felt so free here. Water was not an issue. In our opinion the house it's not big enought to welcome more than two guest or a family with small kids.
Some meters from the house there's a small supermarket with everything you could possibly ask for, lots of fresh fruits picked fresh form the really kind owners. The atmosphere is of a welcoming Sicily.
Anna was understandin and didn't restrict our check in or check out time.
We enjoyed our stay and we adapted.
Such a shame that the cleaning had been done only roughly since the house had been closed for at least a year before we came.
The walls probably needed fresh paint since time, water, mosquitos and flies alsoaged the house.
The wardrobes where useless sice they where half falling down and moldy(we didn't unpack our suitcases: no poblem for us though!).
The materasses where worn out and so was the sheet over it. The linen was very clean but smelled of mold.
The smell of mold and closed house accompained us through through the stay becoming more weaker as we reached the end of the holiday since we keapt the windows open the whole time.
Such a shame for the house, it has great potencial for it's location.
