We spent two extremely relaxing and calm weeks in Villa Demetra.
The location of the house is superb and provides a very good basis for a combination of going to the beach and visits of various sites along the east coast of Sicily. A car is highly recommended.
Eloro beach has a nice sand and clean water. Perfect for small children. During our stay there were hardly more than 20 people on the beach, of course a little more on the weekend.
The house itself has a very charming style and you can experience the high level of passion and care by the owner family. It is situated in a "botanic garden" with cactus and palm trees, offering nice details such as a barbeque station and a garden shower. The sitting area on the ground floor is in the shadow during the entire day and thanks to the light breeze from the sea it was always very comfortable although the day temperatures went well above 30°C. Thanks to its remote position you hardly can hear more than the waves from the Ionic sea and the birds' melodies.
Giuliana is a very friendly host and she was very responsive resp. took seriously care of our demands.
Do not expect "grand luxe" but if you prefer a calm and authentic location in the nature - Villa Demetra is definitely the place to be.
