After backpacking around Italy, we were searching for a beautiful place to rest away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities and the tourists. Alberto's house happened to be the perfect place for that. We stayed four nights at Dimora Vera and were charmed by the very personal and cozy decoration and by the beautiful terrace greened by succulents and cacti. The fact that the house is air-conditioned is also very pleasant during the hot summer days...
Besides his wonderful sense of hospitality, Alberto is a very kind and helpful host! We had a slight problem in the bus from Catania to Chiaramonte, as my partner had lost his wallet. Alberto kindly helped us when we had communication problems with the bus company and even offered to accompany us to Ragusa! Not everyone would do that, hats off to him!
We were pleasantly surprised by the liveliness of the village of Chiaramonte Gulfi: every evening we were happy to see concerts, dancing and even a theater play in the open air, everything happening either at the main piazza or in the park (we came in mid August). Chariamonte Gulfi is the perfect village if you are looking for an unusual and typical Sicilian experience. There are no tourists and all the locals we met were very friendly.
Thank you very much, Alberto, for your hospitality and for making us discover this beautiful Sicilian village! 🌞
