Lovely location in country (dirt and bumpy roads to access it, best to arrive before nightfall), with view towards the sea. Garden with olive grove, citrus trees, almond tree (we collected quite a lot of almonds during our stay beginning of October). Beautiful sandy beach tucked away about 20 minutes walk, hardly anyone around, great with children. The sea was too chilly early October for our young children to really swim in, but they splashed in it with pleasure. Big covered patio, can be good especially with children (though it makes the inside quite dark). Friendly owners, musicians.
Some minor points are to be mentioned as well:
- Though the surroundings are really quiet, next door, there is a dog which barks a lot at night (so we were frequently disturbed especially as it often scared our children during there sleep).
- A considerable number of things are uncoordinated, rickety, worn and really need replacing (for ex. babycot, coffee makers, pan, dishes, toilet and toilet seat, bedding (sheets, blankets, pillows) and bath linen)
- Lacks some care (for instance, garden, windows, paint on walls) and slight lack of cleanliness
- Had lots of power cuts (there is a switch to press back on in an electricity box just outside of the gate, left side)
- Lots of mosquitos and spider bites (especially on the children, at night time)
- The water isn't drinkable so especially if you arrive on a Sunday evening, bring drinkable water to start you off before you are able to go to the supermarket
- no little bowls or wine glasses
As for places to see, we enjoyed Sciacca, especially in the evening. If you like adventure on country, bumpy roads, away from tourists take a drive to Caltabelotta (town perched on a mountain ridge with beautiful ancient church and castle at the top) and carry on through a very rural area to Giuliana, quaint simple country village.
A few kilometres away towards Castelvetrano, a very good olive oil producer called Azienda Agricola Antonino Centonze. The taste is green fruity.
