This is a lovely home located near a neighborhood plaza with restaurants - an amazing gelato place is a few minutes away, don't miss it!! There is history all around you. This is a neighborhood, I loved seeing the other buildings from our lovely rooftop patio, real life with laundry drying and life happening. There was a horse drawn cart picking up items going down the back alley one morning!! Claudia has coffee, snacks, juice, milk, etc. everything to start the day already there for you. The home is huge, bathrooms are all updated. We were a family of 7 plus a 10 month old. Tons of room for everyone, so comfortable. It felt like we were staying with family. Claudia will help you arrange any type of tour you might be interested in while staying there - we had a private tour of the architectural history in the area, and it was the HIGHLIGHT of our stay! There are stairs involved, so if you aren't in shape, start working out now. Either way, you'll have amazing calves by the end of your stay, haha. As an aside, I would recommend going to Cefalu for the day - don't worry, Claudia will arrange a wonderful driver for you! Cannot wait to go back and visit again!
