Hubby was born here and so we have all his family around(sometimes agood thing,sometimes not!).
We had been coming over on holidays every couple of years and a few years ago bought a house.
Needed restoring and we are still finishing things off on it~labour of love ;)
It is so beautiful here and the one of the things I love most is going to sleep at night-no noise or traffic at all!
Well except for the village clock,but I don't really hear it anymore,if that makes sense.
We are about 20 minutes drive from the beach(San Leone) ,so untouristy,great beach bars to relax in and great seafood.
Now I am getting hungry lol

Ciao Beany, you could get the boat from Rome to Palermo with the cat. We got the boat in Genova to Palermo and we really enjoyed it. A bit like a mini cruise. Are you in Cheshire? I am from Lancashire.
