We had a great time at Roberto’s place. Communication was quick and smooth and he met us in Finale to show us the drive up to the cottage. The last bit of the drive is off road but not too problematic and we managed it fine even in the dark. Just make sure you are clear how to get up and down the hill the easiest way as google maps tried to take us on a road that was largely unpaved but you can avoid this for 90% of the journey up from Finale if you go the right way! The cottage is in a beautiful location with wonderful views to the mountains, sea and of Pollina. The space is very well equipped and we particularly enjoyed the chance to play music inside and out without worrying about neighbours. The outside space must be mentioned for its fabulous seating areas and the pool was perfect for cooling off on the one hot day we had. Turning left out of the gate and walking uphill leads you up into the Madonie mountains and after an hour or so to the hilltop village of Pollina where there were amazing views and narrow streets to explore. We had excellent food in Finale (v cheap) and also at Casale Margherita, a wonderful experience 30mins away by car in the hills of Pollina. There is a small supermarket a 5 min drive down the hill into Finale. Highly recommended and a v helpful and responsive host.
