Our three-day stay in Piazza Amerina was fantastic, thanks to the warmth and thoughtfulness of Giulia as a hostess and the cheerful, modern flat she has outfitted and decorated so carefully. The flat has a new kitchen and bath, a comfortable bedroom and a very pleasant living area with large sofa and cheerful furnishings in shades of red. Near the center of Piazza Amerina, it is nonetheless very quiet. Giulia’s house, of which the flat is a totally separate and private part, is beautiful, recently built but in a traditional Mediterranean style, with warm ochre tones. It is surrounded by a large and well-kept garden which guests are invited to enjoy at their leisure and overlooks the picturesque ancient church of San Andreas. Guests have access to the property through an impressive gate and private parking right in front of the flat. Giulia was an outstanding hostess, vivacious, outgoing, and genuinely interested in us and how we could get the most out of our stay in Piazza Amerina and surrounding area. She was available at all times through Whatsapp or at home; it was a plus that she lived on the same property as the flat. When we arrived, she met us in front of the duomo, greeted us with open arms and led us to her lovely house, a much appreciated help on this island, where navigating the small, irregular streets can be such a challenge. When we left for the Catania airport she also led us to the best route to catch the autostrada. We also appreciated the large tray of fruit that was waiting for us in the flat, Giulia’s recommendation of an excellent ristorante for dinner, and her directions to the Villa Romana and the archeological site of Morgantina. In sum: Giulia’s flat and garden, which is a few kilometres from the Villa Romana and not far from Enna, provide an excellent base for exploring the central region of Sicily and is a great place to relax and feel at home.
