Our weekend in Sicily with Andreina and Don Vito was fantastic.

We arrived to their home around 8pm; and per our request, Andreina had prepared a fabulous Sicilian dinner for us. We four had a great night talking over a wonderful home-cooked meal featuring a number of traditional Sicilian dishes (caponata, swordfish, eggplant dishes and pasta - just to name a few!). In the mornings, we enjoyed the traditional Sicilian breakfast of soft bread, ricotta, homemade jams, fresh fruit juice, and a perfect cup of cappuccino. Andreina is a great cook :)

Andreina and Vito were extremely generous hosts, and their home was beautiful and clean. (Alessandro is their son who lives in London.) Our bedroom was great, and the private bathroom was nice. We felt comfortable in their home, and we were treated more like family than house guests.

If you are visiting Sicily and want to know its people, staying with Andreina and Vito will be a memorable and worthy experience. We miss them already!
