I cannot stress enough how great a find Francescos’ place is.
Firstly it is a beautiful house, set in a lovely and peaceful part of Sicily and that alone should be enough. It has all amenities and is well stocked on food and drink. I was also greeted with a personalised cake on arrival.
Despite all this, the reason why this place is extra special is because I had the unfortunate experience of getting my car stuck in a dirt road on my way to the villa as my GPS took me the wrong way. When I told Francesco he got back to me very quickly to find out more about the situation and then sent his wonderful father Nino and a man with a tractor to help drag me out. Nino was incredibly patient and kind throughout the whole ordeal. And once my car was freed Nino led me to the villa where Dina (Francescos’ mother) cooked me a delicious homemade meal and they sat and chatted with me late into the evening until they knew I was okay. The next day Francesco even messaged me to see how I and the car were. Such is the outstanding hospitality at this villa.
Francesco, Nino and Dina they are all very special.
I would give this place 10 stars if I could.
Grazie again guys.
