For us Francesco is beyond host. He is like an old friend, an old brother that we long time no see... He is really an amazing guy! We love everything how he setup his country house and garden. Sicily is an unbelievable place of independent, freedom and thriving spirit that we experienced. You can fully feel this in Francesco's place. We love all kind of olive tree, lemon, orange and all the fruit trees, herbs and flowers in Francesco's garden especially in the night. The garden smells like heaven. We had a great experience in Francesco's house. It is really a perfect place for long term holiday. The beautiful villa is located in a very quiet place but you can reach any service that you need super convenient in a very short distance by car. There are many supermarkets, super good local restaurants and bars. Also you can visit the beautiful cities around this area. We love Sicily, the amazing land and we love Francesco and his beautiful garden. Hope we can back soon!
