The best part of my first trip to Sicily was meeting Riccardo and staying at his place. I felt very comfortable immediately when I saw him. He’s caring and thoughtful. He welcomed me at the airport and told stories about Catania. He’s gone all day butI felt home every morning when I woke up and saw a fresh pastries he left on the kitchen table. I enjoyed dinner with him and his kids (great kids!). Sicily (no matter where you go) starts a day early with lots of noise. Just prepare if you are a light sleeper (bring earplugs :)). Anyone will be lucky to meet such a warm-hearted kind Sicilian, Riccardo!
