We stayed at Villa Salinara last week (late June 2011). The location is beautiful, set in one of the best parts of Sicily. We have a 17 months old daughter and unfortunately, though the place was lovely and Yumi and Adriano welcomed us warmly and were very helpful, we had to cut our stay short. We were supposed to stay for the entire week, but after three days we decided to leave as this accomodation turned out not to be the best option for our daughter. In general I wouldn't recommed the place if you have a child under 2-3 year old... our daughter Mia is at that stage where she wanders around but she's still very clumsy. Steps, stairs, corners, uneven floor and a rustic outside, etc... we were constantly chasing her and it all made it very difficult for us to relax (though the villa would be the perfect place to unwind!)... put it this way, the accomodation isn't child-friendly if you have a little walker to look out for. Moreover not having a beach nearby made it all more difficult. The sea is just a short 5 min bike ride from the villa, but there's no beach, just rocks and a couple of piers that get very crowded and with a small child loving to play on the sand we found it very difficult to entertain her. If it was just us, we would have stayed and certainly enjoyed our holiday at the villa, but unfortunately we had to move on to a more child friendly location and accomodation, otherwise we would have had no holiday at all!
