We had the warmest of welcomes from Alberto and Patricia. We all sat on the terrace with refreshments and a light lunch. They then showed us all the details of the Casa and had provided a supply of basic shopping for us. Also as it was a Wednesday and the shops in Castelbuono are not open, they told us in advance and offered to do a small shop for us - which was very welcome indeed.

The road up to the Casa is steep and when out little hire car struggled up the hill Alberto came to the rescue!

Casa Vinzeria is a truly magical place - the views are stunning, the facilities are great and we were able to totally relax as it is off the beaten track. We enjoyed every minute of being there. Being in a house which is clearly so loved by its owners made it special too - it is a personal house with character and everything you need to be comfortable. The gardens are well kept and beautiful providing a supply of fabulous figs and lemons. We are a family with a 15 year old boy and 19 year old girl - we all loved the house so much we only went into Castelbuono once! The house has so many places to sit and relax, eat, play cards, read or just dream - plenty of space for everyone. We would go back in a heart-beat.
