We spent three wonderful days at the cottage of Gaetano's parents and very much enjoyed the beautiful gardens and stunning views of the hillside around Mazzarino. Mazzarino is a 10 minutes drive away - a little gem that is off the beaten tourist track which is perfect for strolling on the piazzas and exploring the maze of the old town.

We think that the cottage offers the best of two worlds: it provides a very relaxing, beautifully furnished private space and also has a pool area with fantastic views where you can interact with the lovely hosts. For us it was the perfect combination and we would love to come back again, especially to enjoy the sunset on the roof terrace with a glass of wine and the breakfast espresso under the shaded pergola - bellissime!
