We can't say enough nice things about this stay. The baronial house overlooking Pietraperzia is grand and perfectly restored with all the comforts of home and then some. Francesca and her husband Giuseppe met us to let us in and show us the house and beautiful views and then came back a couple nights later with several friends to cook us a traditional Sicilian meal with wine from their vineyard. Thank heavens Vera speaks Italian because only Francesca spoke English but it didn't matter. It was all fun and very animated watching these chefs in action. There is a fee for the experience but it is well worth it. We felt bad that we couldn't finish everything but they packed it up for us and we took it to our next stop and repeated the dinner all over again. If you visit Sicily, don't neglect taking the time to visit the center as a home base and take day trips to the areas of interest nearby. We were sorry we did not get to meet Dee, but she communicated with us several times before our trip to make sure we had all the information we needed and left us a nice note with some food, juice and local meat and cheeses when we arrived, as well as suggestions for local sites to visit. Don't miss the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Amerina. In Sicily for two weeks, we will remember our three days in Peitreperzia the best.
