We loved this place and it vastly exceeded our expectations. The bathroom has been fully renovated including the shower, which is much larger now than previously reported which was very nice. The bed is on the main level now and there is another bed in the loft. We used the main floor bed as we were just a couple but a family with kids would probably love having their own space up top. The kitchen is well stocked. The patio is a big WoW! Beautiful views of Castellemare di Golfo bay and the hills and mountains surrounding the property. So nice...
Linda went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The BBQ on the main level was great. We bought black pig and fish (of some unknown type) locally and the BBQ’d results were great.
The location... is outstanding. You can walk 10 mins down the road to a pebbly beach which we did the first day or make the beautiful 45 min drive to San Vito Lo Capo where there are many beach goers to one of the best beaches in Sicily. Beautiful wine fine sand and sparkling blues and green sea. We happened to be there at the right tine and Linda told us about the Couscous festival going on at San Vito. It’s a major festival and we had a great time. Linda’s place offers great value. We were the first Canadians to stay there and we encourage other Canadians (and Brits, and Americans and ANZs and anyone else) to stay at Linda’s place. We stayed 5 nights and also did day trips to Corleone, Palermo, Castellmare Di Golfo and the Zingaro nature reserve (a fantastic 4 hour total walk both ways from Scopello, a short drive).
We highly recommend Linda’s place and look forward to returning some day.
