Diego had from the very first interchange of emails shown himself as a caring host telling us in detail about wonderful places we could eat in Scicli and offering to book places for us to ensure good service. The house and garden were even more wonderful than we expected and I felt immediately at home. The neighbours were incredibly friendly and we learnt a lot about Sicilian life, past and present from them. One day when we came home with a basketful of wild asparagus everyone wanted to tell us how to cook asparagus risotto! The house is magically situated against the limestone hill with the garden with plentiful lemons in front and a backdrop of amazing scenery and yet within a few minutes walk you are in a friendly, bustling, town. There are some sophisticated shops and the BEST ice cream!
