My family and I spent an absolutely wonderful week at Marco’s villa. The house is spacious and quiet, and has a very calm feel. The pool is a particular highlight - it’s a really good size, and has the most gorgeous views over the surrounding hills and out to sea. We enjoyed being an easy 15-minute walk from Castroreale, which is incredibly pretty and very unspoilt. It was, if anything, too unspoilt - there are only two restaurants! But both were excellent and good value, and the kitchen is very well-equipped for cooking at home. Marco was a great host, even from a distance - his aunt was there to welcome us when we arrived, and Marco was full of great local recommendations and went to a lot of trouble to organise a wonderful wine tasting for us at a local winery during our stay. I hope we’ll be back!
