If you're planning a visit to Eastern Sicily, this home is the perfect base for all of your travels. It's easy to drive up to Taormina (40min) or south to Syracus (20 min). The home is on the sea and it couldn't be more quiet.
When we checked in (flight was late and Marianna stayed late to check us in) the house was in perfect condition. When we asked where the closest restaurant or supermarket was, Marianna & her sister in law, Claudia offered to go and pick up a pizza for us! Honestly, there kindness just made our night as we were too tired to drive to a restaurant.
A few days later our rental car got a nail in the tire. Once again, Marianna to the rescue as she had her darling dad, Salvo, take us into town to "his guy" and he fixed our tire for $5.
On our second to last night, Marianna, Claudia, Salvo and Daniele brought us an amazing dinner of typical Sicilian dishes. I have never experienced such kindness in all of my travels.
The family made sure we had all of their tips for their favorite places to visit and eat throughout the east coast of Sicily.
Other lovely touches that we appreciated:
*container of coffee and milk
*the bottle of wine
*the basket of baked goods when we arrived.
Top notch! We would go back tomorrow if we could.
P.S. we loved walking along the sea in the mornings-we had the coast all to ourselves!
