We had the priviligde of staying in Casa Ricciolino for a week in August 2019 with our two young daughters ages 7 and 9. What a wonderful place to stay! The location up in the hills is idyllic and yet easy to drive to and close to local shops, restaruants and amenities in nearby Francavilla di Sicilia. The home is comfortable, well equipped and sparkling clean. A great pool as well as lots of room around the farm for the girls to play happily and safely. Our hosts Serena and her parents are THE BEST HOSTS - wonderful people, so kind, thoughtful and friendly. They helped make our stay truly unique and unforgettable. We had fresh deliveries of local food goodies up in the hills including granita, brioche and ice creams as well as fresh focaccia from local makers. Lovely days by the gorgeous pool and lots of trips to Etna, Gole di Alacantra and the coast, all within short drives. I cannot recommend them enough!
