We had the best week at Antonella’s perfect Airbnb, she helped us with everything we needed, from restaurant, beach to gelato recommendations, Giuseppe the gardener even popped round with a beach ball for our 3 year old. The house is one of the best equipped we have ever stayed in, you feel like you are staying in someones home, not just a generic holiday let. It is stylish and comfortable and has the most stunning views out to the beach and also get a nice breeze as you are up on the hill (but also has aircon when needed).
One of our favourite things was that we barely saw another tourist/brit, you are in a very local part of Sicily which is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was friendly and very welcoming and very child friendly. The beaches are stunning and great for kids, warm water and long shallow crystal clear waters, you can venture off the beaten path a little and find quiet beaches or enjoy those with bars and restaurants although even these aren’t exactly packed and have a very local vibe. We had lots of tasty Sicilian food and wine and Montallegro has a little market and supermarkets for supplies.
Can’t say enough good things about the house, we were even met when we arrived so we weren’t driving around for ages which was really appreciated. The gardens are also beautiful, olive trees, vegetables growing etc, and lots of places to sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the view. I hope this part of Sicily stays unspoilt and local for many years to come!
