Antonella was a great host and great fun :) Her dad was also lovely and extremely helpful, we felt like family. The place was very nice and had the comfiest beds of our whole trip, and the air conditioning was very welcome!

A car would make your life easier but we managed just fine with some bikes. There's a nice bathing spot in Cornino (10minute walk) but Monte Cofano is definitely worth a trip to Scurati. You can walk from the house round the edge of the mountain in the Riserva Naturale Orientata di Monte Cofano with amazing views the whole way, ending up at the Tonnara di Cofano with the best beach of our time in Sicily! It takes 90mins-2hours each way, and is really worth it.

Scurati itself is small but has a lovely pizzeria with great views very close to the house, and Cornino has a beach bar selling gelato and drinks. Also in Scurati (3mins walking from the house) is the Grotta Mangiapane, an interesting cave to look around, and fantastic views of the mountain.
