We had a great time staying at Casa della Pigna in the end of June 2015! The garden was absolutely lovely. Even better than the photos. There was always a nice cool breeze even if it was over 30 degrees celsius. The house was very charming. Luca and his mother were great hosts. We felt very welcome right away. They were very helpful with tips and readily available if we needed anything. The house is a great base from which to explore western Sicily. We visited Palermo, Erice, Castellamare del Golfo, Zingaro natural park, Segesta, San Vito lo Capo and the nearby Balestrate village, all within an hours drive. The Balestrate beach close to the house (5 min by car) was a beautiful sand beach with turquoise water. You couldn't ask for more! Next time we have to stay longer than a week in order to enjoy the house and the garden even more. Thanks to Luca and his family for a wonderful stay!
