We stayed at Frank and Hanaâs house for ten days in August 2024. We had an amazing time. The pool was fabulous and the shady terrace provided a lovely place to relax and take in the spectacular views. Accommodation was perfect. All air conditioned. Modern kitchen and bathrooms. Super quiet day and night. You absolutely need a car as you can not walk anywhere from the house. Nearest supermarket is 5 minutes by car and there is an inexpensive trattoria next door. The drive up to the house is along a steep and sometimes uneven road with lots of switch backs. Just take your time and it is fine. WiFi was good and we all slept well. The pool is not fenced off and there is no alarm so be careful with young kids and non swimmers. Our boys are 11 and 16 so no issues at all as both are good swimmers. I would be less relaxed with a toddler in tow, but just exercise common sense. Overall it was brilliant and we would recommend without hesitation.
I was born in NYC of Sicilian parents. As a young person, I had the opportunity to visit Sicily many times. Fell in love with the food, people, and the culture. When I think of happiness, peace, and serenity - good food and good times - I think of Sicily.
My wife, Hana, was born in Prague, Czech Republic. She has had the opportunity to travel all over Europe as a child. She also thinks of Sicily as a paradise. This is why we decided to build our house here.
The villa is in a fantastic location that offers gorgeous views of the sea and mountains. It is situated on a large private property, but it is not too far away from the Guida Loca beach and a grocery store. The historic village of Scopello is also close by with shops and restaurants.
Within a few kilometers is the natural reserve of Zingaro. It is located alongside the coast and reaches all the way to San Vito lo Capo. Nearest town is Castellammare del Golfo, offering shopping, many restaurants and a large sandy beach.
