Amazing to stay in a house directly on the beach, with a pretty little courtyard garden and a large verandah on which to have your breakfast or dinner looking out at the sea. The beach is long and sandy, with the ruins of a Roman villa at one end, and the Scala dei Turchi a short barefoot walk around the headland at the other, fantastic at sunset. Fresh fish is available from Porto Empedocle, a 5 min drive up the road, where there is also a great pasticceria with yummy ice cream, and the Valley of the Temples is only about 10 mins drive further on. The owner Cinzia and her parents were lovely - welcoming, friendly, and kind. We had such a relaxing stay in this house. Our teenagers loved being able to play football on the sand late at night, and being only 5 seconds from a swim in the waves.
