To say stepping into Marcello’s studio was breathtaking is not an exaggeration. We had such a wonderful time we didn’t want to leave. We wish our stay had been longer for many reasons. Marcello was the consumate host- truly what we seek in an Airbnb host. He was kind, welcoming, communicative and available and we got to meet him in the flesh which seems to be something that is the exception not the rule any longer with Airbnb hosts. His property is gorgeous, with immaculately manicured terrace/dessert garden and a textured but minimal aesthetic on interior. The apartment itself is equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It was accurately portrayed in photos except that it is even better in person (and we were very attracted to the photos). We took a dining and a beach suggestion from the generous list he provided and were not disappointed. We also immensely enjoyed cooking and dining on premises one night which was just so lovely and relaxing. The bed was comfortable and the space itself was very tranquil which we needed after the intense and stressful driving style endemic in Sicily ;-) That said- We hope to stay there again someday. This was definitely a Top 3 Airbnb experience for us.
