We spent two nights at Sarah's lovely place - a perfect spot for honeymooners and nature lovers. A few tips for visitors:
ARRIVAL - Using map apps might be misguidind since Carubbella is in rural Sicily. We used Here app and the rental car's navigator system and got lost (even though Here app has been otherwise really handy with its offline tracking). So, if you get lost ask Sarah to send you her location by WhatsApp. That worked for us.
EATING - A warm recommendation for the home restaurant held by Pippo & Eva (and Mimi, the chillest and biggest dog I've met). If you are unfortunate like us not having Italian relatives, this is the closest you can get dining at a Sicilian home. Everything is locally produced: meat comes from nearby farms and tagliatelle is homemade<3 Absolutely delicious! They don't speak English but the menu is translated.
PLACES TO VISIT - We went to see Noto and its late baroque buildings. Also, Cava Grande canyon (and the river & a small waterfall in the bottom) is a must. Prepare yourself for a long rocky walk down. Take good shoes (no flipflops!), water and some food. It is not the easiest walk (climbing back is quite a job), however, it is worth it. From Sarah's place drive straight left until you see the Cava Grande sign on the left.
We were really lucky to find this unforgetable place - mille grazie Sarah!
