We stayed in Massimo's house for three weeks enjoying the privacy, the outdoor kitchen(!) and shower, the stray cat that always comes around, the fruits in the garden and the bikeride down the hill to the sea.
The house served as a perfect base as it is located in between towns and fairly close to the water. It quickly felt like a home there.
I would clearly recommend having a car/scooter or bike to get around.
The cars on the nearby highway can be heard from the house, so we slept with earplugs.
Massimo was incredibly helpful with picking us up in the airport, taking us to the nearby hot springs, many incredible places along the shore that we would never have found and showing us around Alcamo during the annual festival in town.
We are looking forward to returning to Sicily!
