From the very first moment we felt at Home.
When we arrived late in the evening Mauro & Mariella, Giancarlo’s parents, were waiting for us. They even prepared a pasta al forno because we had not eaten yet. This immediately reminded us of our vacantions in Italy when we visited family.
The house was much bigger than we had expected. There's a living room with a comfortable couch, dinertable, a kichen with everything that you need to cook for the whole family, even an oven. Two very nice and big rooms and a big bathroom with a shower. The terras was perfect, we eated outside so we could enjoy the view, the beautiful garden and the fresh air. This is the green hart of Sicily, you can experience that at this place.
The walk to the beach takes about five minutes, downhill. The beach is perfect for family’s. Only local family’s come here for the summervacation , so there were many kids to play with. Our children loved it verry much and they asked us to come back next year so they can play with their Sicilian friends again.
As parents we wanted to show the kids Sicily, and that’s easy to do from this location. We went hiking on the Etna, visited the beach beneath Tindari,… We wanted to visit the islands Lipari Stromboli, Salina,… witch is easy to do from Milazzo, but we loved San Saba so much that we kept these for our next vacation here.
Mauro can be very helpfull when you plan your trips. He can tell you where to go, what to do, depending on the weather, time and traffic . He knows the best places to shop, eat, visit,… and helps you to find out how to get there. He even gave us an new parasol that we could use on the beach.
Mariella helped us with the linnen, gave us everything that we needed, clean bedsprays, touwels,… even gave us cockingtips, how to make the perfect “Messinese” food.
It felt like they were family, Zio Mauro and Zia Mariella <3! We even celibrated our son’s seventh birthday together. That day will stay with us for ever, especially the settevelli chocolate icecream cake… :p.
In short, do not hesitate! This is a verry nice place to stay thank’s to Mauro and Mariella.
