We stayed with Marghe & Lorenzo during a whirlwind 7 city honeymoon across Italy, all squeezed into 14 days. This was - without a doubt - the most honest Air B&B experience; no fake photos, no exaggerated understanding of English, no drop in being available to answer questions during our stay. They were both so warm and helpful - it was the most lovely of all 7 places we booked! The room we stayed in and Domus Fisauli are rich in history, as is the city that surrounds, with Marghe & Lorenzo at the helm - their love and passion for Randazzo is welcome after sickeningly touristy spots like Cefalu. This was the first time in our travels I finally felt like we were on our Honeymoon and seeing the Italian countryside from a locals perspective.

Parking was easy. Wifi connection was strong. Bed was the MOST comfortable out of everywhere we stayed. Walked to dinner both evenings and the restaurants were only 5 and 10 minutes away. Felt incredibly safe with a second story entrance, private room that locked and a very solid front door at street level.

Marghe made us fresh muffins for breakfast one morning, the next Lorenzo made us "American" style pancakes with all the fixings. We nicknamed her the coffee elf because she was so quiet in the morning and suddenly - poof - coffee would appear on the hunt board, steaming and delicious! Truly like an American style B&B with talented hosts that are available and helpful, but nonexistent when they aren't needed.

The city of Randazzo is very quiet, we visited during non-peak, so much of the museums and such needed to have appointments made or should have been booked ahead of time. Instead, we drove our rental car into Catania, parking it at the central train station, to join the Etna Experience for a guided hike along the foothills of Mt. Etna which included lunch and visiting the Alcantara gorge. Another day we enjoyed a tour of the countryside and then celebrated the Black Pig at a special festival a few towns over that also highlighted the localvore Porcini mushroom culture. Lastly, I surprised my new husband with an AMAZING wine tasting/pairing, vineyard tour and 4 course lunch at Barone di Villagrande. Highly recommend that special treat! The local wine made from grapes that grow from the thousand year old, mineral rich lava fields is exquisite.
