We had an absolutely perfect 10 day holiday in this beautiful, traditional Sicilian setting. Set amid olive groves and vineyards, the views from the driveway are incredible and it is always very peaceful. The apartment is perfect: recently refurbished, with every necessity provided for - it looks even better than in the pictures! It was very hot when we went so the private pool was a godsend. Daniela's hospitality was so welcoming - her and her family went out of their way to make our stay super comfortable, including letting us wash our clothes when we needed to. This is without a doubt one of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed in - thank you Daniela!
The location is super practical for some amazing day trips. We recommend: Balestrate sandy beach for early morning swims, the marina at Castellamare del Golfo for evening dinner, the 'secret' beaches at Riserva naturale dello Zingaro for snorkelling and the nature 'wow' factor, and a day trip to Erice for some history and culture. You definitely need a car! There is so much more to do here and we are already planning to come back and stay with Daniela in the cooler months so we can do a lot more hiking and day trips!
