Never judge a book by the cover! Our stay with Carmela was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. Her home is grand, spotless and full of intrigue. Carmela and her husband Vito welcomed us into their homes and Sicilian world. We had no idea of what lay behind those doors on the tight narrow streets of Acrieale . Our party of six were “adopted” by our host and responded enthusiastically to all of our questions. We were given the royal treatment, including excellent recommendations for touring and dining. Carmela and Vito became our new Nonna and Nonno!
