We have just been one week at this wonderful place. Our requirements were, Pool, no neighbors, quietness, nice place. This place lives up to all of it!
First of all, the pictures show the house as it is, nothing more nothing less. It’s very Italian, meaning classic interior, nothing too much inside, but all you need for a place to stay. We were only two persons, but the house is equipped for four, and will serve well for four. But it is the living outside you will pursue here.
The premises are situated in the middle of a lemon field, and the lemon field is in the middle of many lemon fields, so really remote, fence around the lemon field and a fence around the garden, no one will enter unnoticed by the residents.
The garden area is remarkable, everything is so well maintained, palm trees, green grass, flowers blossoming and the pool area is very nice, always sunny, but if you want shadow, just go to the terrace where there is plenty of place for all.
There is also a small outdoor kitchen with kitchen table, barbeque and a pizza oven. We tried the pizza oven and the result was worth the struggle with heating it up, but it’s not an easy task to make good pizzas with open fire next to the pizza.
The nearby town is Floridia, but we didn’t spend time there, however we went shopping and out for one dinner, it is not the most interesting town we have seen in Italy, but there are many other town in a short driving distance.
The owner is very polite, genuine and trustworthy, a nice person who can help you if you need help, or will leave you for yourself if you wish.
If we should come with two recommendations it would be an air-condition unit at least in the bed rooms, it was up to 40 degrees while we were there, and the fan in the ceiling did a good job, but it was still very warm at night. The other recommendation would be a softer bed, this is a personal thing but we have noticed that Italian beds are quite hard, and this one is to the harder side of that, again it is personal how you like your bed.
Would we come back? Definitely, we came to have the first week of our holiday to completely relax, and this place is just fantastic for that. We didn’t leave the area for any tourist attractions, but continued 12 more days in Sicily, so we were not in a hurry.
