Luca and his parents were fantastic hosts. Casolare was a lovely house with a rustic Sicilian charm. Balestrate is a great little town, not too touristy, but with a few good restaurants and a good beach. It's also very well located for day trips to Cefalu, San Vito Lo Capo and the Riserva Naturale Dello Zingaro (a great beach!). Highly recommended for those who want to stay a bit off the beaten path.

The garden at the villa had olives, oranges, mangos and pomegranates. The outdoor area is very nice for sitting and sipping wine.

Luca and his parents are so kind! They are also responsive and very easy to work with.
