Mario's place was so much more than we expected and more than the pictures of it could possibly capture. Between the sea, the mountains, the restaurants, the rural/quiet setting, we just couldn't have been more happy and content with where we were. Besides what is there right outside the gate, it is also close to other locations you may want to visit. San Vito Lo Capo, Erice, and Zingaro are all a short drive away. And as much fun as we had visiting those places, we liked being at Mario's place so much we wished we had more time to just spend there relaxing and idling the beautiful Sicilian days away...
