Luigi and his wife Mari have been wonderful hosts, very friendly, welcoming and uncomplicated. They were very flexible, since we arrived a few hours later than planned, which wasn’t a problem at all. Luigi was very helpful and explained to us how to get around and where to find a supermarket, places to eat and sightseeing spots.
The house with the independent apartments is beautifully situated on a hill with an absolutely spectacular view over the nearby sanctuary della madonna nera, the eolian islands and the bay of milazzo. We spend a wonderful fortnight in the apartment „Paprika“ on the top floor of the house. The apartment is newly and tastefully furnished, very comfortable and has everything one needs even for a longer stay. It also has a very spacious terrace to itself. The house is surrounded by a big garden with olive, almond and even a lemon tree.
It is located in the nature park called „laghetto di marinello“, which has amazing beaches. In Tindari itself, there is a restaurant called pane i vino, which sells local products and has a very good antipasti menu. For those interested in history, the nearby ancient temple ruins of Tyndaris are a very interesting place to visit. Since it is very easy to reach the highway from Patti, you can also visit Palermo, Cefalu, Messina or even Agrigent. The Etna can be reached in 2 hours. There also is a train station at Patti, from where trains to Palermo and Messina leave. With the ferry from Milazzo (40 km away) you can also easily visit the beautiful Eolian Islands.
In short: The ideal place for a relaxed holiday and a discovery journey of beautiful sicily!
Thank you, Luigi, for a wonderful holiday! We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and couldn’t have been happier!
