The thrilling sensation of discovering a pearl well hidden in an unopened ostrich will be the emotion you will feel when landing in this place.
Don't get frustrated by struggling to reach this little town in the innermost part of the Sicilian back-land: hundreds road bends will not balance the discovery of an entire new world made of a stunning typical and yet modern, well equipped, roomy, fresh, old stylish country villa surrounded by a vastly overlook of olive trees plantation,
palm and fruit trees, a garden plenty of ready-to-be-picked vegetables, a wide porch equipped with a large dining table, a barbecue, a cocking plate, a sink, an oven, a dishwasher and, to the total kid's - and adults – amusement with a table soccer (biliardino) and a table tennis. We have have had full exclusive access to the porch and free access to all other areas. All rooms, each equipped with a personal bathroom, are clean and very spacious.
And the pivoting location make this place strategically positioned for easy excursions to archaeological places such as Valle dei Templi or Selinunte, to major cities such as Palermo or Sciacca or to close by little towns pleanty of history like Bisacquino, Chiusa sclafani, Giuliana, Sambuca, Corleone, Erice and many others just a few kilometers away.
But it is not the bare list of features this place can offer that makes this place something special.
After way too many aseptic and anonymous in-a-box keys handovers, the true (and original) spirit of the Airbnb's light still sparkles in here.
Benny and Francesco, the hosts, did not save a single drop of their energy while arranging excursions and providing suggestions and tips on nearly any single thing we might have needed for.
They really struggled to make us feel like at home. This is for sure due to the Sicilian worldwide-known hospitality, but it is also a matter of attitude.
Let them be your guides and enjoy the pleasure of being introduced to the Sicilian way of life by somebody who knows it inside out. And be ready to be submerged by a sumptuous typhoon of flavors and fragrances: biologic olive oil,
and vegetables and fruit, local exceptional wines, tasteful freshly-made 'ricotta' goat cheese (best cannoli in the region, don't miss them!) and many more depending on the season.
Benny and Francesco you were the starts!
Special credits go to the people we were lucky enough to encounter during this little adventure, such as Mario, Carlo, Enzo. Keep on doing the nice job you are doing to make this part of the island be enjoyed!
Too much? Naaa!
