Zarbo di Mare

We’ve stayed in Barbara’s wonderfully tranquil, simple seaside house three years in a row. The views are balmy and blissful and it’s but five minutes in the car to San Vito with its many shops and restaurants. I’ve stayed in much larger properties in Italy, France and Spain and never known a better equipped kitchen - it might be compact but everything you need is there. The private diving platform has ruined me completely - I’ll never want to share the sea again. A fantastic place for a spot of dolce farniente, although there are lots of sites of great historical import nearby, or so we hear!

This humble little house is also perfection as a jolly and relaxing holiday retreat. It is well equipped, clean, neat and tidy. There are a few houses scattered along this bit of coast, though it is definitely ‘off the beaten track’. The National Park is exceptionally beautiful. The local town is a friendly, with plenty of choice for places to eat authentic Sicilian food. The beach and little harbour is simply beautiful. The house owner has been helpful in every way. What a really special place—we hope to visit again!

Lovely place, very 'special'. Very thoroughly and thoughtfully equipped, simple but comfortable and attractive with a spectacular position and view! We saw many dolphins a couple of times. There are many places to visit within easy reach and the local town is busy but fairly small, very friendly and the tourists seem to be almost entirely Italian. The swimming spot reached from the house by steps and a rocky path is idyllic although not easy to get out from when the water is rough. The owner is very responsive, informative and helpful.

Wonderful location. Very comfortable and well equipped house. Perfect for climbers, too as the location is accessible to rock climbing areas. Perfect for access to beaches,and walking too.
