Fabulous sicilian base for family stay - relaxing, delighting, beautiful
We stayed here for 14 days during a big family trip through Sicily. We travelled with our 15 month old and our 4 year old daughter and Savverio's home couldn't have been more perfect for us. The house has everything you could want, is pristine clean, and is a real Italian home. There's heaps for the kids to do around the house and in the gardens (inc. kids toys, a swing, play equipment, 4 or 5 different gardens and a high chair and Saverio even had a temporary fence installed for us at the bottom of the stairs to stop our toddler from climbing them!), Some days we didn't leave the house at all, and just pottered about and cooked while kids played - the kitchen is very well equipped, and the house works really well. The bedrooms are great, air con throughout and internet terrific - also a great Bose bluetooth sound system which we loved. On top of all this Savverio is truly a magnificent host. Genuine, kind, funny, and great with the kids. You can see he genuinely enjoys looking after guests and showing them the best of Sicily. As far as the town of Alcamo, there's not a tonne to see, but it's charm lies in the fact it isn't a tourist town, so you'll actually see a side of Sicilian life that feels real and get great food and non tourist prices. It's also a terrific base - each day we would leap into the car and head off to all the wondrous surroundings of the area. This is definitely a terrific place is you're happy to leap into the car to explore, want a base for a family that feels like a home away from home, and want to relax on the terrace each night watching the night slowly drift away in the distance. The photos don't do the view justice here - really world class views. We had the best time. Savverio is tops. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!!!
