Mi è piaciuto: Pulizia
Great location
I would recommend this property. We had a great time.
The good
- perfect location, pictures don’t do it justice, distant sea views, beautiful and varied landscape, surrounded by olive trees. The environment in this part of Sicily is stunning
- house comfortable (but see below). Air
Conditioning high quality and quiet - a real must when overnight temperatures were +30 degrees
- very easy to walk to Scopello to eat/socialise. Very beautiful village. Great that you don’t have to drive. Some high quality restaurants. We ate brilliantly
- property managers, Eliana and Vitalba were BRILLIANT and super helpful. They use WhatsApp to communicate. Very responsive indeed. Great recommendations for eating and things to do. High quality check in process. Big thanks to them for making our stay so easy
- From a ‘city’ perspective, it’s close to Palermo which is very cool. And to Trapani (an easier drive) which we really enjoyed, went their a couple of times in the evening to eat and stroll
Areas to consider
- beaches not really walkable due to heat and busy road (do explore the ones across field from supermarket as opposed to crowded and expensive Scopello beach)
- generally underwhelmed with the beaches on this part of the coast. They are VERY beautiful but small, very crowded and mainly stones. This is obviously a very subjective view (you can get sand at Castellamare which is close but traffic ridden) It must be said though that the coastal scenery generally is stunning wherever you are
- the house markets itself as a 4-6 person property. We were 5 - 2 adults, 3 teenage kids. In my opinion 6 people is a stretch both from a space and a bathroom/toilet (there is only one) perspective. 4 people could stay here very comfortably indeed though
- it could do with some extra cutlery and crockery (2 cereal bowls in a 6 person house ….).
- in my opinion, a mid stay clean (not included) would be appropriate for a property in this price range
Tried to make the above useful for those considering the property. Overall would highly recommend.
