Amazing little house on top of a hill, overlooking the Mediterranean and its beaches. Built recently, it’s very modern and offered all the amenities we as a small family needed – from a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing mashine to TV and wireless internet. The latter you’ll hardly need. The panoramic view from the kitchen, living room and especially the patio is stunningly beautiful. You just want to sit there and enjoy the tranquility of nature all day. Our 3-year old son loved to play on the property, marvelling at the wild flowers, grapevines, butterflies and little lizards.
Even though the house is located a bit out of town, it doesn’t feel remote. There are several other houses and neighbours around. It is incredibly quiet at night – very unusual for city dwellers like us, but we loved it. And we felt safe thanks to two guard dogs, who live in a cage behind the house.
The beach is only a couple of kilometers away and offers a handful of nice bars and restaurants. The quiet and quaint town of Montallegro is just 4 kilometers away, and also has several nice restaurants and supermarkets. Interesting cities like Sciacca and sights like Valle dei Templi can be reached within half an hour by car. Our hosts, Enza and Pino (Giuseppe’s parents), were incredibly sweet and forthcoming. They helped us with practical information and treated us to home made wine and fresh apricots. We had a fantastic week and hope to return sometime soon!
