We were attracted to Scicli due to its Baroque history and, of course, the Montalbano links! We selected the Dammuso because we love staying somewhere a bit different that offered so much. This was a winning choice! The Dammuso - a traditional stone house for this part of Sicily - is very spacious. it is characterised by the high stone alcoves which house the windows and give the property very high ceilings and sense of space. The separate kitchen seats 4 easily and is equipped with everything you could need - including basic provisions like coffee, sugar, tea, oils etc. The lounge is large and has a comfy sofa, tv, wifi and a selection of dvds - including Montalbano episodes - to spot where you have just walked! The main bedroom is an upstairs high ceiling-ed loft and very comfortably serviced - including slippers. There's a lovely tiled bathroom with a great power shower and a separate laundry room. We loved the fact that the Dammuso always keeps cool and as such is a welcome relief from the hot bright sun. It felt like we were staying in a piece of history rather than just a holiday home. The place would easily fit 4-6 and as a couple we had oodles of space. The dammuso is a short walk from the main squares of Scicli - including the Questura in Montalbano and some of the squares where scenes are shot. It is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy people watching, talking to the friendly locals and half- hoping there will be a filming session. A number of great little restaurants are nearby serving delicious food. Oh and the granite - I think our favourite granite of the trip were had in Scicli's baroque square. The town itself merits a number of walks to explore the Baroque architecture and the vistas from the hilltops. The sea is around a 15 minute drive and Scicli is a great base for exploring this part of Sicily - whilst feeling smug that you are staying in the best place! Gugliemlo and Rosalba are impeccable hosts. We were greeted, made to feel immensely welcome and provided with a plethora of sweet treats and a bottle of wine. Gugliemlo spent an afternoon with us helping to sort out a broken rental car - for which we are forever grateful. Due to the narrow streets of the historic centre , we recommend parking in the many free spaced about a street or two away. Un posto excellente da passare vacanze in questa citta storica. Ci e piacuto un sacco. Fornito da tutto il necessario per una vacanza. Grazie mille e gia pensiamo di tornare!
