I truly can recommend staying at Casa Al Qamar. It's a unique place and Annamaria is incredibly helpful to make this an experience tailored to your interests. We were for instance interested to take a high-level cooking class specific to that region in Sicily and Annamaria went out of her way to find us the best chef who was willing to give a custom cooking class one-on-one. Plus she was there for the Italian-English translation. Very special! Not only that, Annamaria also offered an insight into the secrets of cooking couscous at this newly opened place "Ginger". Go check it out when you are there. It's a wonderful fusion of African-Italian cooking.
