Family friendlyPolizzi Generosa

"Scannale is such a beautiful place saturated with interesting (and cinematic!) history and surrounded by amazing nature. Here you can start the day in the peaceful, leafy courtyard with freshly squeezed oranges from Pino's orchard, picking ripe abricots right from the tree next to the table, cuddle the Pino's dog and her puppy, and then wander through the garden to the clean and inviting pool for a morning swim. Inside the house you'll enjoy the spacious rooms, the variety of charming bedrooms and nice, modern bathrooms, and of course the historical atmosphere that is genuinly present everywhere. You can get basic provisions in the nearest village, ten minutes drive away, but be aware that for proper shopping, you'll need to go for a longer drive (and the road to Polizzi Generosa was temp. closed). There is a nice restaurant nearby, Il Baglio Antico di Maria. The only potential disturbance (if you are sensitive) is from the highway down in the valley, but none of us found it annoying."
