This is a total gem of a place. We stayed end of july/ early August for a week with our children aged 9, 7 and 4. The owners went out of their way to make us all feel welcome and will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are genuinely lovely people and have created a very special place to stay which has been in the family for hundreds of years.
Set in the hills, in a quiet area will incredible views, the garden is stylishly designed by Salvatore and is a beautiful place to relax - the pool in the daytime and the terrace with BBQ and oven in the evening. Our kids especially loved the pool! We also loved the fresh home grown fruit and veg as well as many other local specialities left as a welcome present from the owners.
The house has everything you need and is well equipped and very comfortable. Again much of the decor Salvatore has made himself. Downstairs there is another apartment with one bedroom which could also be rented out at the same time if you needed the extra space.
We visited Brolo beach (20mins) and Grotte beach which was beautiful with a great cafe bar and kayaks to rent. We also had a great day visiting Tindari.
On our last night Salvatore and Marcello cooked us the most amazingly delicious pizzas in the wood fired pizza oven. The kids loved watching Salvatore throwing the dough! He had been a pizza chef for 20 years. The whole experience will be a very special holiday memory for many years to come.
We're missing it already and will definitely be back! Thanks again.
