Quirky holiday house with a simply great location and an open terrace downstairs and a shady balcony upstairs. Simply some of the best uninterrupted views possible, looking out over the open waters to the point at San Vito Lo Capo in the distance and Monte Cofano. There are also two lovely coves just a couple of minutes’ walk in each direction from the property, for easy access to swimming. The house has plenty of outside spaces, cooled by the strong sea breezes which blow along the coastline. The house was modern and minimal in style with basics provided. Guests with mobility issues should note that the spiral staircase joining the two levels is quite steep and narrow.
Just a couple of things for other guests to be aware of. Be sure to wait for Salvatore to send you the coordinates for the house, as the address on AirBnb is incorrect and located on a busy road, where it is hard to turn off or turn around.
The domestic electricity supply in many places in this part of Italy is very unreliable and quickly overloaded by household appliances. If you are planning to cater your meals at home, you should be aware that it is only possible to use one hot plate at a time on the stove top. Unfortunately the oven does not work at all. There are restaurants close by in Bonagio (we can recommend the Cortile di Venere - be sure to call the restaurant to check the opening hours, the staff speak English) and also many options in Trapani, 15 minutes drive away.
Also be sure to ask Salvatore to show you where the switches/ controls for the electricity and water pumps are located in the event that you need to switch these back on yourself.
Communication with Salvatore was quick and easy and he was very responsive to our queries, especially as we settled in.
