We had the most exceptional, unforgettable AirBnB experience of our lives with Francesca and Lorenzo. First, there is so much to say about the house itself: the spectacular 360 views from the hill on which La Mortilla is perched, the superb design of the house with its many comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces, the cozy and comfortable bedroom, the stunning infinity pool... Around the house, there are many interesting places to visit and Francesca and Lorenzo will give you all the insight tips you need to discover the best of southern Sicily. We particularly loved the wild beaches located a 15-minute drive away from the house, and our day visiting the valley of the Temples in Agrigento.
But what made our experience so special is that Francesca and Lorenzo are among the most wonderful people we have met during our travels. For 5 days and evenings they welcomed us into their home and made us feel like we were home too. They always went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, were comfortable and happy in the house (we were working remotely part of the time - foolish idea in such a wonderful place!). Lorenzo is an incredible cook who transforms into a 3-star Michelin chef once the night sets in, and will happily tell you how you have been cooking pasta wrong your whole life.
We are aware that our review may create unrealistic expectations... but honestly we came with very high expectations ourselves, having read all the previous reviews and having planned our entire trip to Sicily around this place. And yet, our experience still exceeded what we had hope for! We absolutely loved it and cannot recommend it enough.
Thank you so much for everything, Lorenzo and Francesca - we will be back soon!
