We visited Sicily in late summer and decided on renting this house. Although we arrived late in the night, the owner, Michele, waited for us with wine and cookies.
He had also prepared a set of maps and showed what should be visited and took the time to answer all our questions despite the late hour.
It was not entirely clear to us how the house was organized from the pictures, so let me clarify this a bit. The house has two levels: one at ground level and one partially underground.
The level that is partially underground contains the two bedrooms and a bathroom. All of these receive plenty of light during the day due to the orientation of the house. Being underground has a very important advantage: it keeps the rooms cool during the scorching sicillian days, so we had no trouble sleeping. Speaking of which, one of the bedrooms has a twin bed, the other has two separate single beds that can be joined.
The upper level of the house has the kitchen (fully equiped), a second bathroom and the dining room. It also has a patio where you can eat and spend evenings.
The property contains has the main house built in the middle of a garden. This isolates the house a bit from the noise of the nearby main road. Besides the main house, there is also an open area where kids can play and a covered area where you can park the car (and you should most definitely rent a small car if you want to visit).
The house was very clean and well equipped. I'm not sure if it's shown in the pictures, but there is a washing machine for clothes and an outside barbeque area. Both the bathrooms were fully equipped as well.
Besides the bedrooms, an extra person can fit on the couch in the living room (which I don't know if it's extensible or not).
Regarding the location itself, the house is part of a quiet little town, with a few good restaurants. It is close to the water and you can go for a swim, but there are no sandy beaches close by (hence the need for a car). You can get to the sandy beaches of Giardini Naxos in about a 30min drive, or settle for a pebbles beach at a mere 10min drive.
Throughout our stay we had the whole property to ourselves and Michele did not intrude in any way (we did, however, bother him with questions which he cleared up for us).
Overall we had a great holiday and would return gladly. Michele was a great host and very helpful.
I highly recommend this property and its owner.
