A piece of paradise for body, mind and soul!
Since both my friend and I were having alot of work stress in the last couple of month we were really looking for a place of calm and tranquility somewhere out in nature – we already fell in love with the pictures on Airbnb but arriving at Silence of the Nightingale completely overwhelmed our expectations. It's really a small paradise. The little house is located in the middle of the natural reserve of Monte Cofano – the sea is 3-5 minutes by walk and you are surrounded by an absolutely breathtaking (!) panorama of mountains and landscape. The house itself is super cozy and immediately feels like home. It's in the middle of a beautiful garden with a flora that makes your heart sing – from limetrees, peartrees, pomegranattrees to bay leave bushes, jasmin flowers, agave plants and giant cactusses that blossom astonishing flowers at night.
It is the perfect place to just calm down, let go of any stress and just »be«. Also the house itself is super cute – and our highlight were our dinner nights, cooking in the open kitchen, after getting fresh groceries at the local shops in the nearby Castelluzzo.
Daniela and the friend of the house, Andrea, were super helpful and kind if we needed anything and gave us great recommendations – for example the hike up the mountains on the old road to Erice.
We most definitely want to come here again! For everybody who enjoys nature, being off the grid and preparing a home cooked meal in a beautiful garden – this is the place for you!
Two things to add: you definitely need a car and it should be equipped to endure the rocky drive to the house through the reserve + bring mosquito spray :)
Thanks so much to Daniela and Emilio for everything :) !!!
