This apartment is on the lower floor of Davide and Maria's home, but is very private. It is an immaculately kept two bedroom with a king ensuite and two twins in the other with a shared bath. The livingroom is spacious, and the kitchen well stocked. The outside shutters keep the house very cool and we never needed air-con, even on a hot July Sicilian day. A short flight of stairs up and around to the backyard reveals a terrific pool with shaded sitting area and a poolhouse with a double bed and bath if you have extra guests. (be aware wifi does not extend to poolhouse). The house has two solar-heated outdoor showers by the pool, which were terrific. The pool is lit at night and we def. enjoyed some lazy evenings sipping wine under the cabana.

The gated house is super quiet, on a remote road dotted oddly with farms, beautiful homes, unfinished homes and factories all at the same time, so as you approach, you can't help but wonder (fear, even) that you must have the wrong place. There is a lovely view of the distant ocean from the front yard. The house is a ten minute drive to grocery etc. and well situated to visit southeastern Sicily.

Davide and Maria were really wonderful hosts - not too intrusive, but available for a nice chat, or to make a morning cappucino and give a recommendation for a good restaurant. Would absolutely recommend.
