We were warmly welcomed by Luca and his wife who showed us the whole house and explained everything we needed to know not only about the house but also about Balestrate and other attractions in the area.
We had wonderful 10 days in Casa della Pigna. What we loved most was a big garden which served as a playground for our children as it offers many different places and corners for their plays. We also really enjoyed BBQ and outdoor cooking in the garden especially if we went to buy some fresh fish and seafood in the morning.
There is a nice sandy beach directly in Balestrate just 5 minutes by car from the house which especially our children enjoyed as it offers shallow water for plays. If you prefer pebble stone beaches go just 20 minutes by car to Guidaloca beach or some Scopello beach. Everywhere you find a clear turquoise water.
We also enjoyed evening trips to Castellammare del Golfo which is a really nice town with lot of restaurants and bars.
We definitely recommend Luca's house to everybody who would like to spend his vacation in Sicily and enjoy something else than just a small hotel room.
