The palm tree garden with all the hammocks is perfect for a relaxed retreat.
Franca and her family have good taste. The little apartment is styled in a simple, yet warm way.
The communication with Franca prior to the arrival was excellent, providing me with various different information, I needed, about the shuttle bus from the airport, the delivery service of the local grocery store and the bike rental in Brucoli.
The entire family was really welcoming, Franca dropping me off at the bus station,
Pietro sharing some local beer from Messina with me,
Christian rushing to picking me up when I got stuck with my bike in a storm near Augusta and
Nella and I somehow trying to have a conversation in scattered English and Italian.
