Giovanni and his family are fantastic hosts! Giovanni has been providing us all useful information related to the house, the area and tips where to go, before and during our stay. It has been a pleasure to be in touch with Giovanni, he is really passionate about Sicily and wanted to make our stay just perfect. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Giovanni's parents, who have been kind enough to stock up the fridge for some basic food and wine, and even cooked a delicious typical Palermo style pasta for us. This was a life-saver and a great reward for all of us after a long trip! Pina and Pippo have responded to all our requests really fast, which made our stay flawless. We even got a guitar and a bycicle to use! We really appreciated the special "arancini" evening, where Pina was sharing her cooking experience with us, this was a sheer delight!
The house has been built to the highest quality standard and decorated with love and attention to details. Villa is fully equipped with everything you might need, including also beach equipment. There was 7 of us, and the house provided plenty of room for all. In fact, another additional bedroom was available, so, I believe, it is suitable even for 2 families. We loved the rustic kitchen and the hand painted dishes! We have been in direct contact with the sea around the clock, which made our stay really remarkable. The sea is really beautiful at Mongiove, turquise, deep blue, green! And you hear it even you are inside the house! The sea is Mongiove area is charming and calm, not very touristic. The neighbors are nice families, very friendly. Sometimes we were just alone on the beach. We could see fishermen leaving to the sea and returning in the morning, this was very romantic. We especially liked Betta restaurant, although there are also couple of others really close by.
We had a very relaxed life-style, just what we wanted for this vacation!
