Staying at Maria Catja’s home was the absolute highlight of our month long trip to Sicily. If you are looking for an incredible authentic Sicilian experience, and a beautiful, personal and unique place to stay, this is a gem. Maria Catja is an amazing host in every way, she makes you feel at home and a part of the special family house and garden of her Nonna Giacomina. She even hosts special Sicilian dinners with her family who open their house to cook local homemade specialties. I have traveled extensively and been a guest at many Airbnb’s- but this is the top in every way for a local, meaningful encounter with the real Sicily. Magical place.
