We visited Giovanni's over Christmas, and it was a beautiful, cozy place to spend the holiday with family. We explored the region during the day and had a fire every night in the beautifully renovated farmhouse. Giovanni was a very helpful and welcoming host, even letting the airline deliver my parents' lost luggage to his apartment in Palermo. And perhaps best of all is Lily, the incredibly charming and sweet farm dog who greeted us every morning!
