We have just spent 2 weeks at the Olive House owned by Andrea. It has been an amazing experience - I will not mention the attractions of the area because that's not the forum for it but there are lots of things to do - from staying down the beach in Marina sipping Aperol to climbing Mount Etna - take your pick! Andrea's house is amazing for those seeking the authentic Sicilian countryside; it's an old olive mill, with most original features preserved but with welcome 21 century additions (aircon!). Andrea has been most helpful throughout our stay - he even got up at 2am to welcome us as we drove down from Palermo. There was a chocolate cake waiting for us courtesy of his mama (plus delicious focaccia bread later in the week). Whilst on the subject of food, the place had milk, honey, jams, coffees, teas when we arrived so we did not have to scramble in the morning to get something for breakfast (and the closest grocery shop is around 9km). The accommodation is super comfortable and spacious with a terrace attached to the garden with bucolic views... Andrea's English is very good and he was always available to offer help. The first night his recommendation was a local taverna down the road - if authentic Sicilian food is your thing - this is the place to go! No menu, no prices, you get want they give you - 5 courses, house wine and cannoli with espresso to top it all off - and all for a very reasonable price... I could go on about how wonderful it has been but most of all, the hospitality and thoughtfulness of Andrea made it really special.
