We spent 2 months in this fabulous place and there are no words to express our impressions. The house is a lot bigger than you would imagine based on the photos. It is situated in the middle of an olive grove up on the hills and the surrounding private garden is the most beautiful we have ever seen. As we were there mainly during spring time, flowers were blossoming and the whole area was so green. The garden is very well taken care of, it is huge with many sitting areas in the shade to enjoy a coffee or dinner. One of the biggest highlights is the outdoor kitchen with the stunning views on the valley. You can not only use the bbq but prepare your whole dinner outside. The weather was amazing this time of the year and in April we were lucky enough to have some chilly nights when we lighted up the fire in the indoor fireplace. It was so cosy and nice to have an indoor fireplace in the kitchen/dining area! We also used the pizza oven several times. The house was nice and cool even in the hottest days in early June, we didn’t have to use the airconditioners at all. The outdoor shower was also a great addition to the garden. The wifi worked reliably and the whole house had a nice, old-fashioned charm. The house was very well located to take daytrips to the main attractions of Sicily and it was always nice to arrive home after a tiring day. Although we haven’t met Stella as she was in Rome, we were properly taken care of by Sara and the gardener, Mr Monachino. Very nice people! Just note, that you definitely need a car to go shopping or to the beautiful beaches of Capo d’Orlando. If you are looking for the most relaxing holiday in Sicily, a bit far from other people but really close to everything important this is your place to stay. We highly recommend Stella’s place and would love to come back one day.
