Alfredo's house is a cute little retreat, great view to the south and west. Really quiet! The place was spotless, everything in perfect working order.

We were there as a family (our son is 16) and this worked really well with the spiral staircase and our son sleeping upstairs in the loft bed. The front porch is in the shade most of the day which is great when the sun is beating down. We had a little spot of bad weather - fog, wind and rain repeatedly coming in over four days - and missed a couch inside or some place to sit comfortably and read, other than lying in bed.

We hired scooters and can recommend that you try to access the place from the east side (on the main road the intersection just up from Quadrocchi view point) … still tricky in one or two places but less so than riding in over that huge hump from the other side ;-).

Slightly unfortunate - but not Alfredo's fault obviously - is that there is an unfinished building right next to the property. There was no work being done when we were there, but without that place the view from the rooftop would have been even more spectacular. Even so, we enjoyed our sunsets and had a very very pleasant holiday.

Alfredo was most helpful in providing taxi services and positively saved our trip when we realised that our arrival ferry from Napoli had gotten cancelled … Alfredo was on the phone with us for ages and helped us sort out an alternative (train from Napoli to Milazzo - a tiring experience but very cool to see the whole train being loaded onto the ferry).

Thank you Alfredo!
