Guestbook for Casa Gurra
" Seven wonderful days at the end of September in Porto Palo. A nice and calm village. Few, but good places to eat! Big beach, perfect for kids. We really enjoyed our time in this house on the hill very much. The little Garden, the living room with the fireplace, our sleeping room under the roof and the fantastic old Italian kitchen. (We cooked almost every day!) And there is a big grill to take outside for barbecue, too! The house is perfect for one or two couples or two families. It is full equipped has two serperate bathrooms and sleepingrooms, a big kitchen, a room for the kids and a livingroom. Living Room/ kitchen and the room for the kids are open to the garden. The garden is very nice and for your own. A car is necessary, specially out of the season. There is a small supermarket in porto palo and 2 big ones in menfi. The english speaking hosts a very, very friendly. They were there when we arrived to show us the house and the surrounding area and came the last day again for goodbye. (Thanks for the cappuccino ;-) ) Nice place to be!! "
