We had a fantastic stay. Both the house and garden are enchanting. The house is stunningly designed and very well equipped. The atmosphere is truly tranquil and relaxing. It is getting unbelievably quiet and romantic at nights. It is fairly isolated from the civilization and one should be prepared to this. We really liked exploring the neighborhood and could recommend Trapani and Marsala (ca 45-60 min drive). On the other hand, Balestrate is a bit too small to visit more than once.
