Claudio is a half hobbit and a half Dude (the "Dude" from the Big Lebowsky). As all true hobbits, he loves all things that grow and his garden and house are a haven of beauty and peace.
He also is of a truly kind nature, cares for others, is intelligent, funny and talkative but never intrusive. In other words he simply is one of the coolest guys I have ever met in my whole life.
This is not to mention his cuisine skills: every morning we had a great time in the garden terrace talking and joking with Claudio and other guests, while having a marvelous breakfast with his delicious home made cakes, made with fresh ingredients from his own garden.
At Claudio's place no detail is left aside: from the shower in the garden (just great to feel in contact with nature when you come back from the beach), to the colour of the tiles of bathrooms he just renovated.
The sea is litterally 5 min walk from his house, which is in a very quiet dead end street surrounded by nice villas.

To summarize:
- Great host
- Great accomodation
- Great location: 5 min walk from a charming beach
- Great region: Sicily is not only beautiful, but also has a FAN-TA-STIC cuisine!

I would strongly recommend Claudio's place to anyone and I myself will come back. It's the best medicine to recharge your batteries before a whole year of work!
