We had a wonderful stay at Maria's house. It is situated up in the hills a short drive from the nearest beaches. The views are absolutely stunning with ever changing big skies and light. There are tables and chairs on several terraces around the house which help if you want to avoid too much sun and wind. It can get quite windy but we also had perfectly calm days. The house is well equipped and comfortable. Our daughter enjoyed the bedroom on the mezzanine with ensuite bathroom. There is a very good shop with greengrocer just down the road (5mins). The charcoal grill on the terrace works very well. We enjoyed a day's hiking along the Zingaro Natural Reserve with a string of beautiful coves for a swim, a trip to Erice and San Vito Lo Capo, Scopello as well as the temple and amphitheatre of Segesta. Good times were had by all - thank you Maria.
