During the midpoint of our 26 day July 2018 Sicilian vacation, we stayed in Maria and Litterio’s place for two nights and we regret that we didn’t book for a longer time period. Maria and Litterio were very gracious with their hospitality from the moment they met us in Castelbuono to escort us to their place in the mountains. Upon arrival they presented us with a homemade fruit pie which was delicious. The first night Maria also invited us for a home cooked meal. My wife insisted on helping Maria and she had lots of laughs while they went about to make fresh pasta using eggs gathered earlier from their chickens. We then had dinner together overlooking the spectacular views of the Madonie mountains. The house itself is extremely spacious and was immaculately spotless, along with a great internet connection and air conditioning which we really did not need to use as the place gets great cool mountain air. Personal touches of living in the countryside were distinctly found throughout. Their location on the mountainside is ideal for those wanting some solitude listening to the “sounds of silence” while being only a few kilometres from Castelbuono town centre. The location does requires a car to get to and a little bit of off-road driving, which is manageable. Maria and Litterio also gave us tips on what to do and see in the Region. One highlight was the ride up to and the views from Pollina which were amazing. Thanks for the suggestions. We highly recommend Maria and Litterio’s place and we are looking forward to booking again but for a longer period next time. We certainly made new friends in the Castelbuono area. Ciao.
