I have to admit that as it was a new listing, we had a little bit of hesitation to go ahead with the booking, but as it turned out, it was the best decision! Salvo was very prompt in responding to any queries we had.
On arrival we received a lovely warm welcome from Salvo and his family. Salvo's place looked even better in real life than the pictures show on the site! And they were happy to provide many suggestions on places to visit and things to see. As we arrived quite late, it was great to find a selection of refreshments in the fridge, to help with the shock from the heat after arrival (being used to the weather in Ireland). Not to mention some breakfast basics, so that we didn't have to worry about that straight after arrival. The house was spotless, and with everything you might need, including and outside wood fired grill (highly recommending to give it a go, even if it's hot enough outside).
Down the end of the road, not even 5 minutes walk, there is a small shop with all the essentials and a pizzeria. Also a nice small local beach, if you don't fancy the big overcrowded beaches.
All in all, it was a fantastic stay, perfect for a family that wants a nice, peaceful and relaxing holiday.
TIP for travelers: I strongly recommend to rent a car when staying in Sicily, it just gives so much more flexibility and opportunities to visit all the beautiful places, that are in reach of just a short drive in any direction.
Only thing left to say is ...
Grazie mille Salvo e familia!
