We had a wonderful family holiday at the property from 23 July to 3 August. The secluded location up a track was hard to find at first at night, but it's seclusion is a highlight of staying here.Our host Carmello warmly welcomed us with a house tour and left clear instructions for WiFi and local tips.The property was much larger than expected, with a spacious kitchen, huge dining table (unused as we ate outside), and a cozy living room with three sofas. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms, including a mezzanine-style third bedroom accessed by a steep ladder, suited our 15yo daughter perfectly. Our 18yo son took the double room, and we stayed in the largest. The house was filled with thoughtful decor—books, art, and vintage furniture—making it very cozy.Outside, multiple seating areas, a large BBQ, and a huge gazebo in the gardens with sofas offered great spots to relax. The expansive grounds had gardens, statues, and tables.The large pool with a decent deep end was very impressive, though more sunshades are needed as the single one wasn’t enough. We spent so much time here. Rural Sicily’s power limits caused occasional outages, resolved by conserving electricity.Sat Nav led us astray on dirt tracks; stick to the main road. A Conad supermarket 8 mins away was great, but ignore map errors pointing to a nonexistent one.We loved Barkollo ma non mollo in town for its amazing, cheap pizzas and views.Highly recommend this off-the-beaten-track gem in Sicily!Thanks.

This property is incredible. So many carefully thought out spaces to enjoy the outdoors, including the amazing pool area. And the sunsets! Beautiful. The living space inside was wonderful and lovely decor. Everytime you walked into a space there was something new to enjoy. Carmelo warmly welcomed us and has great suggestions for food and places to go tour. The only thing to consider is being outside of any town/city centre there are dogs in the area that at times can get a little loud.

This is a beautiful old building with plenty of charm and interesting features. I imagine that it would be more enjoyable in warmer months when dining outdoors would be possible. Due to cool weather, we spent more time indoors and found it to be chilly and not cozy. The house could sleep seven, but I do not think it has the comforts to do so. One challenge is the small amount of hot water available. We were unable to use the lovely bath tub as even after a day of no water use, it would only fill about 6 inches before turning cold. We could have one person shower before hot waiter ran out. Another disappointment was the “bio pool” which is essentially a tarp in a deep hole filled with murky water. It was not swimable as it was low on water. Wild dogs run amok and bark constantly, even through the night, interrupting the peace of the countryside. We did not have any engagement with Olga and Carmelo other than check-in and check-out. All in all it was an interesting experience but ultimately not worth the money.
