Pier and Giorgia are wonderful hosts. This is the ancestral home of Pier's family, dating back to the 1500s. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly, filled with music, and creativity. Pier and Giorgia also shared a delicious traditional Sicilian dinner with me and Pier helped me with some business in town, which was very great. Castroreale itself is picturesque medieval village and is much cooler in the summer than the coastal towns. A nice, tranquil place to visit with panoramic views and stunning architecture that has managed to keep its authentic character.
