We had an extremely pleasant and relaxing stay at the Casa del Luppolo and can only recommend it. It is a small ancient farmhouse in the countryside of central Sicily with fig trees, tomatoes and, unconventionally, hops plants. The room is well decorated, large (if not very large) by any standards and comes with an ensuite bathroom. Guests have their own entrance, their own dining room and kitchen. It therefore feels more like renting a flat than a room. Excepted that it comes with the outstanding hospitality of Flavia next door. She has a perfect balance of small attentions and utmost respect for her guest's privacy that makes you feel like you're at home after a few minutes. Do not worry about the lack of AC, the old thick walls will keep you fresh even when it's 37°C outside.
