Paradise in southern Sicily. Tenuta Carabolloce is a delightful estate, well maintained, with absolutely gorgeous landscaping - a warm, delicious hot sun and beautiful swimming pool next to the sun-kissed Mediterranean and nearby ancient town of Sciacca (‘Shah-kah’). Ignazio’s family owns and maintains the property beautifully. Our house was well equipped with great appliances, a shared clothes washing machine on-site, two dining room tables in our house (inside and out) large, spacious bedrooms and plenty of living space indoors and outdoors. The property is secured by an electric gate which is customary for Sicilia. There are abundant, olive groves, fruit trees and traditional Sicilian plants and animals. We awoke to songbirds in the morning and often, the sound of farmers in far off fields tending to their crops. The walk to the beach is about 15 minutes when you want a change of pace from the luscious pool. And the amazing, ancient, town of Sciacca is only 10 minutes away by scooter or car. Be sure to explore the caves of San Cologero, the temples of Agrigento, the beaches of San Marco and San Georgio as well as the yummy pizzerias of Sciacca while you are here. It’s about an hour and a half from Palermo, a hidden gem of a European city filled with nightlife, pop-up Discos, high-end shopping and some of the most amazing churches and catacombs in all of Europe. Our family of 5 can’t wait to come back and explore more of Sicily. We missed eating fresh ricotta at Catebelotta sp? and seeing the amazing mosaic(s) at Piazza Amerina sp?. Ciao bella…enjoy one of the most amazing vacations you will ever have.
