We had an excellent few days in Maurizio's lovely house in Valderice. The house is in a great location, with gorgeous views of the sea and the hills on which the medieval town of Erice sits. Both the sea and Erice are easy to reach by car. It's also just a few minutes drive into Valderice itself where there are lots of shops and cafés.
The house is beautifully decorated and well-equipped. And Maurizio himself was very helpful and friendly, showing me where to buy pizza when we arrived late on the first night, and helping me to check details and book tickets for the ferry we took to our next location. I highly recommend staying in this property.
