We could not have received a warmer welcome, to the point of Mariella's father coming to meet us by the beach when we lost our way getting there and then being quickly made to feel part of the family on our arrival. The actual property was very well matched to the description that had been given. The tranquil nature of the location as well as the congenial nature of our hosts exceeded all expectations and we would have gladly spent more time here. We would love to return at some point. The Lo Zingaro reserve and Erice provided contrasting but equally fascinating places to visit during our all too brief stay of 3 days.
