This was simply an excellent place to stay, very convenient to attractions such as Guidaloca beach, Erice, Segesta, R. N. d. Zingaro, &c. It was clean and comfortable, with such amenities as washer, clothesline, outdoor shower (also indoor shower). Francesco speaks many European languages, including some Russian. The kitchen was well furnished and functioned well. I enjoyed cooking a stew, more or less, of cinghiale (wild boar) one night. We did not have the need much to communicate with Francesco during our stay, as no problems presented themselves, and we had a pre-formed itinerary.
