Because the location is not on the beaten track, it is often overlooked. What a shame... If you're in Sicily, do yourself a favour. A visit to the farmhouse of Nicolò is truly a MUST GO! You will spend time in a beautiful & quite area within a grand nature reserve, where you will hear only the sounds of animals. At the same time, the place is close to the town Caltagirone, a historic UNESCO world heritage site in the Val di Noto. Despite arriving without a rented car, getting around was easy. Nicolò picked us up from the bus stop in Caltagirone (direct connection from Catania airport) and was able to drop us of, despite leaving very early. During the 5 nights and 4 days of our stay, we walked around and drove back and forth with Nicolò or his parents. Even without speaking Italian and using a Translate app, we managed to connect with his family and enjoyed meeting them all. We loved spending time with his parents, such sweet persons. They were interested in getting to know us, despite the language barrier. They really spoiled us, it felt heart warming to be invited to so many delicious home cooked lunches and dinners by Nicolò's mother and Nicolò himself. We have seen the shop and workplace of Nicolò, where mostly his own organic honey is sold and prepared for transport. We also visited the house of his parents. Basically, Nicolò really shared his daily life with us. We were more than happy to help with some small things, we had a lot of fun with Nicolò. He is a super friendly and interesting person, very social, generous. We are super impressed by everything he initiates, with his unique personality, being a creative and energetic soul. On our last day we were lucky to meet some great friends from Nicolò, together we went to a bar in the city, sharing antipasti, stories & laughs. We can not thank Nicolò enough for allowing us a glimpse into his life. This is a real Sicilian family life experience, 100% genuine hospitality.
