Just returned from a wonderful stay in Sicily. The area is wonderful with lots to explore and do from the temple at segesta to the magnificent beach at Scopello all within 30mins drive. The town of Castellamare is a lively port with lots of excellent restaurants, bars and gelateria. The house was great, especially the outdoor area - it is just fantastic. We made full use of the pool, bar area and the outdoor kitchen was particularly useful. Indoors the air conditioning was a real saviour with the temperatures in July. What was also really great about the houses location was that from 6pm it was in the shade of the mountain so cooled down nicely in the evenings. Stefano was a great host and very attentive to any problems. We had a power cut one night and he arranged people out within 30 minutes to fix the problem. Just as point to note there is a family who live upstairs which wasn't made clear in the description of the house. It was not an issue but just for information. Thanks again for a wonderful stay in Sicily!!
