From my first contact Antonella was easy to communicate with and she answered emails quickly. Daniela arranged to meet as in Cefalu and led us to the house. Our first impression was that it was exactly what we required but it wouldn't suit everyone. It is a distance out of Cefalu and it is essential to have your own transport. The house is on a beautifully wooded hillside and the rural environment is idyllic and peaceful.
The house is furnished in an eclectic manner which could be called 'shabby-chic' but it has all the essential for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. There are two bedrooms and one is spacious with plenty of hanging space and a 'put-you up' bed if needed, whilst the other has two single beds and is quite cramped. There are two showers inside and a cold shower outside. The kitchen is very well equipped and Antonella left us a welcome basket of food as well as a tray of delicious Sicilian cakes.
The roofed terrace has wonderful views out over the sea or back at the woodland, it is a great place to see and relax or enjoy a meal around the table.
Soon after we arrived there was a problem with the water but we contacted Daniela and she had it sorted first thing the next day. We even asked her to arrange a restaurant booking for us and a taxi, both of which she kindly did.
It is a really relaxing house which will suit those who enjoy a quiet, peaceful break and who are not expected the smart shower-rooms or 'plastic' seating areas found in many 'Americanised' hotels.
Thank you Antonella for allowing us to rent your lovely house and thank you Daniela for all your help.
