Oasis of peace and relaxation just 3 minutes from the beach.

The accommodation suited us very well (family with 2 teenagers) - we were on holiday during a hot August, so the large pool was really fantastic, as well as the air con in the 2 bedrooms & the bbq/terrace for outdoor cooking. Alessandro is a very lovely host - he & his family were super welcoming and made us feel at home. Very helpful with recommendations for places to eat, where to buy food, beaches to visit and all the local attractions. We loved their dog and cats too! This was our first visit to Sicily and we were surprised, at first, with all the beaches that are 'private beach clubs' during the summer (we are from the UK, where most beaches are free). We opted for the 'free beach' which in the month of August, gets a little busy on the small parts/ends of the beach that are not private! However, Alessandro gave us some AMAZING suggestions for beaches & swim spots that were not too busy & away from the beach clubs and sunbeds. Just take a parasol and a picnic & you'll be very happy! You do need a car in Sicily. Highlights of our trip were: *Treking to natural freshwater pools - lovely and cool, in a beautiful setting in Cavagrande del Cassibile *A trip up Mount Etna (it was 5 degrees up top..take a jumper/hat/coat) *Spiaggia naturista di Marianelli (no - not a nudist beach! It is a nature reserve) *Boat trip with snorkelling, paddleboards and lunch (ask Alessandro!) *Ortigia *Drinking granita to cool down! *Aranchini - yummy! Great hols, grazie mille!

We had a great sunny stay in October and enjoyed the pool a lot. The appartment is very nice and clean. Especially Alessandro and his family made this stay a wonderful experience

Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances de cette charmante maison avec une grande piscine. Alessandro et sa famille sont formidable et nous ont conseillé de précieuses adresse pour les visites et les bon repas. Nous reviendrons sûrement dans ce petit coin de paradis !

the pool is good for swimming, small number of shared properties, so quiet for sitting. property is quite a distance from anywhere, need a car, beach at least half hour walk. no restaurants in walking distance. Allessandro was helpful and friendly.
