What an amazing place to stay... The peace, especially at night, was so utterly relaxing. In August it was wonderfully hot in the day time but with really pleasant cooler evenings to play cards out on the terrace and to sleep deeply at night. The local village, Sclafani Bagni, is incredibly picturesque and the views all around the house are breath-taking. Each morning you can hear the goats' bells clanking as they walk up the mountainside nearby and you can fetch fresh crunchy bread and peaches from the village. We loved it! Don't forget you will need CASH in the village as they don't take cards - the nearest ATM is in Caltovuturo about 20 minutes drive away. The two Agriturismo farmhouses nearby that Andrea recommends are quite different to one another but both very welcoming with delicious food and offering swimming pools for you to use before or after your meal.
