Firstly -- we had a great time here in the sicilian country side. Communication with Francesco was easy and prompt, I was interested in cooking classes and our communication around my classes was easy and accomodating to my requests. Secondly -- The house is a quaint cottage set amongst farm houses and feilds so you do need a car as it is in the country side 4-5 km from Nicosia.
Thirdly the hospitality of Francesco's parents Dina and Nino, helped to make our stay here very memorable. Nothing was to much trouble for them and they treated us like family. Cooking classes with Dina and Nino where enhansed by my sicilian speaking companions, and we had great fun and lots of laughs with them, plus food you would die for, long lunchs and evening meals, so my advise is cook, cook, cook because the food was so yummy.
