We experienced a vibrant and warm Italian welcome from Elena Rita, her daughter, and granddaughter. They were very gracious even though we were an hour late. We were the only guests during our low season stay; Elena Rita was sure to show us how things worked. Parking was easy right across the street. Our room was huge, with several couches and could be called a suite. In the morning we were greeted with one of our best lodging breakfasts during our 3 week trip around Italy: juice, cappuccino, pastries, and freshly sliced meats and cheese that looked like they had just been picked up from the Salumeria. From the B&B it was very easy to get to Villa Romana del Casale the next day. The drive from the Siracusa area was lovely as well.
