As as we checked in at La Porta Baciamano I told myself that I had certainly made the right choice.
Upon arrival, my husband and I were warmly welcomed by Giuseppe. I immediately noted the cleanliness.
It was formerly an antique structure but now recently renovated with class. It is daintily set on the corner of a gently, slanting cobblestone road. What a pretty settiing, so quaint and unique.The room itself is large with it's own private entrance from the street.The building maintains its original polished floor tiles, so precious and glistening. The bathroom was so modern with a large sink, a shower stall and automatic illumination. The main entrance from the street is a modern glass door overlooking the view of the snowcovered mountain tops right across.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious and abundant with typical products all served in style.
The place was perfect for us. It is centrally located to visit Geraci Siculo and other surrounding medieval towns. Geraci is a picturesque town with its pretty buildings and shops. Don't miss the pastry shops and bakeries. The locals are kind and friendly.
We had dinner at a typical restaurant / pizzeria which offers a wide selection of local cuisine. The local cheese fried with eggs is a must. Don't fail to try Tuma Frisca Cu Zuccaru which would be the local cheese served with sugar. It's simply the best.
Giuseppe and his wife were both very friendly and provided us with a vivid description of the history and culture of the area.
I would certainly want to go back one day. I highly recommend La Porta Baciamano.
