Antonio was a very kind and helpful host. He told us we could pick citrus fruits from our garden and even prepared a bag full for us. His tips as to where to eat were also great. Bye Bye Blues was a a nice fine dining type of experience while the local cafe on Galatea (the one he describes as a crime to miss) was full of friendly local guests and extremely good espresso and pastries. We truly are missing the coffee and sweets. The location is great, although we never made it into Palermo, so I can't comment on how easy it is to get it but he provided us with useful bus info.
