Casa Cimino was a great base to explore the south east of Sicily, an easy drive to Modica, Ragusa, Scicli and to the beaches at Sampiero and Donnalucata. Scicli is only a 10 minute drive and was a surprise: a fab little town with its own Baroque treasures, great restaurants and not at all touristy. The house was very comfortable--beds good, plentiful linen and towels, showers good, well equipped kitchen--and Michael a great host, providing lots of information on places to see and things to do and quick responses to any questions. All in all a memorable experience
