Tania and her husband Giancarlo went out of their way to make us comfortable as no other host has ever done. They were considerate that we were traveling with a 1 yr old and made our stay seamless with all necessary equipments that make life easy for families with children. The house itself is tastefully done (all the woodwork is done by hand in Giancarlo’s workshop) with high end finishes. The hosts stay next door and are available for any questions or issues. They were also kind enough to drop off an important item that I had left behind. It seems we made lifelong friends already!
The house is about 15-20 mins walking distance (all downhill, cable car takes you back up to the center) to the beach, and about the same distance to the town center, accessible via stairs. If you are renting a car, try to get a small one as the entry road to the house/parking is pretty narrow compared to American standards, as is usual for historic Italian towns. The hosts invited us to join an evening party they were organizing for their friends, offered plenty of food and drinks and also spent quality time with us! Highly recommended for this refreshingly different experience during our 2 week sojourn of Sicily. Their love for life, travel and people is unique and real!
