Charming house - beautiful location
First thing to say is you'll probably need a car as it's about a 40 minute walk to Castelbuono - and coming back is quite steep walking.
The upside of that is you are in a very tranquil location. It's idlyllic. Hardly a sound apart from birdsong and the occasional gentle charming clang of a cowbell as (presumably) some nearby cows were being led out to pasture
I booked this place because its advert focused on tranquility - and it really lived up to that.
It has a fabulous pool and the views from the pool terrace (which is an upper level) are sensational, looking out across a gorgeous valley.
Vincenzo is super friendly and (I think) lives in an adjacent property.
Some people have reported having to share the pool. Not sure if that happens - all I can say is when we were there the pool was entirely ours.
If you don't mind having to drive into town (Castelbuono is a lovely little town) and want peace and quiet, this definitely ticks the boxes
ps: It could do with a few extra cutlery pieces though :-)
