First of all I need to say that Barbara and her husband Alessio are real super-hosts. We stayed at Lavinaio for one week and it was the best stay during our two weeks trip in Sicily. Although it’s a B&B, but you get the whole house to yourself (some bedroom were locked since we didn’t need them). The place is meticulously clean and has everything you need. On top of that, Barbara is always nearby so if you are missing something - she will bring it to you as soon as she can. She is very responsive, helpful and kind, but not intrusive at all.
The property itself is new and well equipped - with AC and a comfortable bed in the bedroom, large modern shower (a rare find in Italy), modern kitchen, Dolce Gusto coffee maker, etc. Barbara even brought a BBQ for us so we could grill a fish for dinner. There is a small enclosed garden in front of the house - perfect when staying with a dog. Breakfast is included in the price so there are croissants, muffins, milk (also almond/oat milk), bread, water and candies left for you.
We need to mention that there were times when electricity and water were gone for short periods of time (from few seconds to a couple of hours). But in any case it wasn’t host’s responsibility, it was the problem of all neighbouring towns around due to failure in the power plant. Barbara however was incredibly committed to sorting out the problem, which just showed us how awesome this host is. Thank you, Barbara!
