Mediterranean and Sea, these are the words that more than any other will explain the essence and composition of this calm and exclusive holiday homes, hidden and yet on the forefront of one of the most beautiful beaches of the entire Sicilian coastline. Dining or relaxing, in one of the numerous verandas, look out of the window or terrazzo’s, the view in front of your eyes will be simply breathtaking.   "Who are we? The answer to this question is that our profound love for the sea and all that is beautiful, a coastline that has been for us, warm sun, fresh food, relaxing time and close contact with nature, has given us the desire to offer you a heaven of tranquillity , away from the daily stresses of city life, time keeping and deadlines For this reason, we offer our Residence, only to people who like us love the peace and tranquillity and the beauty of the Mediterranean way of life. Once upon a time, as a young boy, I was in the veranda of the old house were Residence 5 lune was born, I was crying, an old man approached me and said:” don’t cry, you will see that everything will be better, everything will change, look at the sea, it changes all the time,” He added:Every morning, when you wake up and look out, she will be different, today its smooth like a table, because the hot African wind has blown on it, then it will be tortuous and rough, because in the night the northerly wind( Tramontana) will have changed its shape yet again. He then squeezed the last bit of smoke out of his rolled up cigarette and blew out the smoke. I was eight years old, I was wearing a green jumper, and the old man’s name was Francois. He was my grandfather, he was a quite man, but I knew that he loved me immensely, all I have left of him is, a precious and very old silk scarf, a gold watch that I lost at sea ,the foundation of this old house, a love letter and the immense love for the Sea. As a young man, the story goes that he fell in love with a woman that belonged to a very powerful man, and that she came to see Francois, from the sea, on a boat with four sailors. The story goes that Francois and his lover, for five months, 5 moons, loved each other, within these very walls, amongst these beaches and these rocks stroked by the sun and wind, and at night, enveloped in the soft light of the petrol powered lamp, they loved each other passionately. One sad and windy “Scirocco” night, they came and took his woman away and he never saw her again. Now from time to time, the story goes, that during hot “scirocco”windy nights, that comes to caress the shore, you can still hear their voices and see their shadows embracing in lovemaking. But all this is hidden between the sea and legend and it transpires in that letter….     To say that we offer you white and clean sandy beaches, where the water is clean and warm, to say that you will see the most stunning Doric columns in the “tempio di Segesta, to the beautiful green hills , in the intense colours of the hidden rocks, would be a lie. Because we are not responsible for such beauty, because this priceless splendour, is what was already there, and 5 Lune is build amongst it Without a doubt, this intense corner of the Mediterranean, holds in its folds, the print of past civilisations that have fallen in love with the beauty of the place and stayed for centuries; Mother Nature has being generous indeed with the gifts bestowed upon this Island, that will always fill your eyes with wonder.

Tu me manques et ça m’empêche de dormir. Je suis pas du tout éveillé. En bras de chemise dans ma chambre j’embrasse tous les objects qui je lasserai e qui me manqueront. Femme assis sur une pierre tout près de la mer, cachée dans un endroit secret. Tes yeux qui regardent quelque chose ont volée leur couleur à la mer. Le soleil se couche doucement, le soir rouge enveloppe la femme.Un garçon àrrive de loin et regarde la femme, le mouvement du vent entre ses cheveux... c’est l’amour qui émouvoit la mer et le garçon. Il embrasse la femme et la condui chez lui, une maison avec des fenetrês vertes. Leur lit a le frais parfum de la nuit. Au port on chante des prières pour les marinier qui doivent rentrer. Le garçon regarde la femme en silence et la caresse: elle dort, la mer dans ses yeux dort. Le vent est là avec leur ombres et l’amour aussi. c’est l’amour qui émouvoit. Mon trèsor! viens je t’en pris, viens encore et donne moi une bonne nuit de sommeil.Accompagne moi à la dernière étoile.mais maintenant la nuit est àrrivée. Pain et sable à la porte pour mes amies les nuages. François
