In general the house was alright. It was comfortable and accommodated us well. While we enjoyed our stay, we felt the house is not setup to receive guests in the winter. We were caught by surprise when we arrived and saw the pool was closed. There was no mention in the description that this was the case. We had some sunny days with good temperature that we would happily use the pool. Coming from the Netherlands, the winter in Sicily is basically summer for us. Not even the surroundings of the pool were enjoyable. All the chairs and furniture were dirty and broken. Nothing like what is shown in the pictures. We had some technical issues in the house as well, e.g the power went down, toilet flush didn't work and we were advice to use only one heater for two rooms, otherwise the power would go down again. All the issues were promptly resolved by the house manager, who was always responsive and very helpful. With a little bit of maintenance, the house can be a great place to stay.
