Marco and Catarina were very welcoming and friendly. They greeted us with treats from Sicily. The house is beautifully decorated and accomodated. There is everything you need to stay comfortably. Dinner on the terrace every night was lovely. The seabreeze keeps you nice and cool. It is right on the edge of the nature reserve. We went to Palermo to buy some snorkeling gear and went swimming off the rocks to see all the little fish. A car was useful to go exploring around the island and downtown. I would definitely get the smallest car possible because of the roads, they are very narrow! The scenery cannot be beat, the pictures do not do this place justice.
