Staying with Dane is like staying with Italian family I didn't know I had. From the beginning she was very personable, had great stories to tell and was so easy to get along with. She even picked us up from the nearby bus stop in her little car to save us walking down the steep hill, and returned us when it was time for us to leave. The room was clean and the beds comfortable (the double bed was essentially two singles pushed together). She made sure we were well fed and caffeinated and shared some great advice for the remainder of our trip through Sicily. It was also great to meet her daughter Carlotta who was visiting from Spain.
