Staying with Pierfrancesco, Giorgia and their adorable daughter Mataida was a stop on our Sicilian adventure we will never forget! They welcomed us into their beautiful home with open arms from the moment we arrived and made us feel completely at ease. The house is even more amazing than the photos and is perched up on a hillside with the most beautiful views of the Aeolian islands and the towns below. Thanks to Pierfrancesco's amazing recommendations we visited various beaches and national parks within an hours drive of the house that were completely secluded and off the beaten track. As well as helping us with all of this, we were invited to join the family for dinner one evening and were treated to a delicious traditional meal cooked by the lovely Giorgia! (Thank you both for the great company and of course Mataida for the evening entertainment!!). Both Castroreale and Pierfrancesco's ancestral home are steeped in history, making it the perfect place to stay if you want to experience a totally authentic and unique trip with truly wonderful people. Can't wait to see you both again either in London or Sicily!
