The house with its beautiful garden is situated right in the town centre , only a really short walk to the very clean beach. We had easy contact with the friendly neighbours, and shopping for daily needs is really comfortable: an excellent bakery, fishmonger, and little supermarket with butcher. Local fruit and vegetables are delivered daily right to the doorstep, and very cheap. Not to forget bar McUno, where we got our daily drinks and ice-cream, with a warm and personal service. We did most of our cooking and barbecueing ourselves, but there are a number of good inexpensive restaurants in the neighbourhood. Biagio´s brother Dario came immediately when there was a little problem to solve, and looked after us well. This summer the temperatures were very agreeable, not too hot, and we did not need the airconditioning, which is in every room. Excellent: the outdoor shower! Parking our cars in front of the house was no problem, and putting out chairs to block the space when we were out was always respected. Tre Fontane is ideally located for numerous cultural sites, all in up to 1 hour driving distance.
We were in a group of 6, all 60+, but the house would also be ideal for families. The wifi connection worked, though a bit slow. Italian beach life includes nightly disco, and there is one close by, the noise of which could be heard at night, a little problem for some of us, which could, however, be overcome with earplugs. All in all a very relaxing, authentic and inspiring experience of Sicily!
