Our two night stay in Maria's house was a wonderful experience. Her house is spotless clean and had a warm, cosy atmosphere, a beautiful outside terrace with a view to die for. We expected nothing but rain but instead we got a wonderful day with dramatic clouds, spectacular thunder and lightning, pouring rain and bright, warm sunlight between the storms. At night it was pouring outside and we were in Maria's wonderful house, with a glass of wine and the candles lit. To summarize: a perfect last day of our short holiday in Sicily. We really love the area here. Very dramatic, mesmerizing and a bit spooky with all the clouds, fog and thunder. We would love to come back to this area, the nature reserve park is just perfect for walking with the kids and swimming in beautiful deserted beaches. The sea was still warm and the kids loved to swim and climb in the coves afterwards.
