It was fantastic to be back at Pianogrillo for 2 whole weeks. Second time - double the value :-). From the first moment we felt at home with a great welcome from all of you. The farm is just amazing. The quiteness, the views and surrounding nature, all the animals, the pool and the villa and of course the kindness of the whole family. And not to forget Lupo - our friendly German Shepard following us always on the walks on the farm.
It is a perfect base to enjoy the whole southeast part of Sicily. We can recommend: Siracusa incl. the market, Ragusa, Noto, Marzamemi on a Saturday night, Caltagirone in the evening, Vallei dei templi/Scala dei Turchi, Villa Romana after 16:00, Gorge of Cavagrande as early in the day as possible and the beaches of Vendicari and Cala Mosche (bring snorkels and shade). And of course the little cosy village of Chiaramonte Gulfi with the excellent pizzas at Cortile Chiaramonte, the fantastic meals at Majore and the icecream at Bar Arena on the Piazza. Also recommended is Scacce Cooking class with Simona.
Thanks to all of you, and especially thanks to Cicilia for your great company for 2 weeks. You are certainly already very missed. Hope to see you in Copenhagen or Milano. And we certainly hope to come back to see you all again.
