My comments on this A++ property surround four areas: 1) the villa, 2) Francesco, 3) my recommendation, and 4) a tip.
1. The villa: it is beyond wonderful. It is quiet, peaceful, very nicely furnished (including a very comfortable bed!), a well-equipped kitchen, an enormous outdoor covered porch with outdoor dining table and chairs, a beautiful rooftop terrace, and cleaner than clean. Once you see the villa in person, you will agree that the photos don't do it justice. The only problem: it is so nice that you won't want to leave the property to go exploring!
2. Francesco: he is, simply said, a wonderful host and an equally wonderful person who is enormously attentive. When I first met him, it was as if I had met a long-lost friend; it is easy to tell that he genuinely likes people. He had pastries waiting for me upon my arrival, which I greatly appreciated -- especially since I arrived late in the evening.
3. My recommendation: if you want a quiet retreat in a beautiful villa with a view, STAY HERE -- YOU WON'T BE SORRY! I don't know if or when I will return to Sicily, but if I do, I hope to stay once again at Francesco's villa in Donnalucata. Bravissimo, Francesco!
4. A tip: the local grocery store closed by Sunday pm and doesn't open again until Tuesday morning, so be sure to plan ahead.
