We arrived extremely late but Lella welcomed us in good spirits. She even brought us amazing homemade chocolate dessert. She was incredibly kind and cheerful, which definitely felt like a relief after a long journey. The house is charming to say the least. We’ve stayed at many listings that felt like abandoned hotel rooms. Lella’s home felt lived-in and well loved. You can really feel the care that went into every nook and cranny. The mattress and bedding were amazing (we still talk about the mattress). Location-wise, it doesn’t get better. You’ll find yourself at the center of everything. Lella’s recommendations were also spot on. We visited almost every restaurant she suggested and were blown away each time. On the morning we left, we were lucky enough to sit and have coffee with Cettina (she reminded me so much of my grandma) which was definitely one of the highlights of this trip. Thank you Lella and Cettina. We’ll see you again in Catania :)
