Casa della Pigna is located a little remote from Balestrate, but with a car it takes only a few minutes to reach the village. The house is build on a platform in the hills, and part of a small community of private houses. The neighbours won't bother you; it's really very quite out there. Only some dogs barking in the evening and a goat shepherd will pass by at day time.
The terrace/garden is outstanding and spacious, with the large pine tree giving a good atmosphere and shade. From the terrace you have a nice view on the village and the sea. No reason to leave that place at all; just sitting in the garden is great.
The house is also spacious, well equiped and at the time we visited (beginning of May) we definitively needed the fireplace. Luca provided the wood of course.
Luca, and his family that own this summer house, are very kind people. Luca is easy to contact with (by mail and in person). The family really likes to make your stay a feast. To conclude: rent this house!
