Villa Origano

The best part of the house is definitely the outdoor veranda. The kitchen and living space are set apart from the sleeping area. There are two bedrooms: one double with air conditioning and its own bathroom, and another with twin beds, no air conditioning, and a second bathroom. The kitchen has very limited equipment. It's in the countryside, though the beach is only a five-minute drive away. I'd probably recommend it, but only at a competitive price.

We chose the place mainly for its location, which made it easy to reach the area's beautiful beaches, including popular spots such as Calamosca, San Lorenzo, and Pachino, all within about 20 km. We hadn't been to Sicily before, but this experience makes me think we'll return. A farmer nearby sells his own produce at very reasonable prices. For excellent arancini and local pastries, Pasticceria BLANDINO in Pozzallo is worth finding on GPS. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the arancini and made-to-order filled brioches were €1 each, large and delicious. We stayed during the first week of June at Villa Rosamrino, a detached house in Marina di Pozzallo, about 8 km from Pozzallo. It looked just like the aribnb listing photos. The place was quiet during the day, with very little traffic. We only realized on arrival that the kitchen and dining room were separate from the sleeping area, with two different doors. The kitchen had only the basics, so bring things like a cutting board, kitchen knife, and dishcloths. Ants started coming in from the first day, attracted by leftovers we'd left the night before. Spray didn't get rid of them, and although they didn't eat any leftovers, we found ants in the bedroom too. There was also no way for us to dispose of rubbish. The bins are automatic and need a card, which the owner hadn't provided and didn't have. We agreed to leave our rubbish for him to deal with, but bags left outside the door attracted cats. This happened five times in ten days, with rubbish scattered around each time. Those hassles aside, we had a good time. Thanks and a big hug to all the Sicilians I met on this adventure.

Surrounded by nature, it was peaceful and relaxing. Of all the apartments we visited during our month in Sicily, this was one of the nicest, cleanest, and best equipped. 100% RECOMMENDED!

The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the place is nice with all the comforts included. At the moment, though, air conditioning is only available in one room, not in the kitchen area.
