We spent our honeymoon at Giuseppina & Horst's lovely apartment which is set in beautiful olive groves on a hill top near the small town of Buscemi. The area is very rural with nature literally on the doorstep. One morning we awoke to a visit from a very interested pack of horses on the patio which was amazing. We were well looked after by Nello & his wife Paola who care for the apartment while the hosts are away. Paola cooked us a delicious dinner & was very sweet & excited that we were on our honeymoon. Thank you to Nello who bought us wonderful fruits, nuts, vegetables & herbs from the garden everyday.
The converted stone building has been made into three apartments & we were lucky enough to have the central apartment & the others were unoccupied during our visit. Everything in our studio was very new, clean & well designed. There is a lovely pool, terrace & impressive views across the olive groves. Buscemi, the small town near by has huge charm & some useful & very affordable shops. It was all very quiet when we visited which suited us but the apartment provides a perfect base to explore some beautiful towns such as Notto, Syracuse, Caltagirone amongst many that are within a shortish drive away. The architecture is incredible, the food wonderful & a visit to this part of Sicily is good for the soul. We hope to return to this very special place.
