About us:
"The driveway is a strip of 300 meters enclosed by stone walls. The backyard has scenes like an eighteenth-century farmhouse in the north and south the blue of the Mediterranean Sea which is 15 kilometers. Nearby Modica, do not talk of Ragusa, seems always to go up and be always surrounded and topped by a Hyblaean piece. Except here, the Pirato on the Provincial 42 Scicli, where you earn the horizon to see everything. The holiday here is perfect: on the one hand Modica, Scicli other; all the most beautiful sea of Sicily south of Capo Passero; evenings always fresh; excursions continuous imagination of Montalbano. As a friendship symbolic place (you can not say in another way) with which they welcome and hospitality, John and his family might choose the small room that serves as atrium of the old farmhouse, where fodder, shade and cool water they were reserved for animals of travelers and occasional visitors. Because from them it is as well as at home: miraculously disappear and reappear exactly when needed.
