Our trip to Contessa Entellina was far better than we could have ever hoped for and it was all thanks to Antonino and his partner and friend Anna as well as Carla and her husband Santino. This was the most welcoming town we have ever experienced. Thanks to Anna for her great passion of the Contessa region and her outstanding English (she actually teaches English) as well as Italian, Sicilian, and Arbëresh, she was able to guide us and interpret for us throughout it into stay. We were able to meet many of the locals as well as do some research on our ancestors who emigrated from Contessa Entellina. She brought us to the city hall where they had records back to 1820, as well as the Greek and Latin churches that have records even further back. She brought us to the museum and gave us a lot of insight into the history of the area and well as the migration of the Arbëreshë people from Albania to Contessa. She brought us to wineries, cheese making, the Santa Maria del Bosco Abbey, the cemetery, and too many other places to mention. They had a BBQ with great food and friends and family. Papa Nicholas Cinicola of the Greek Orthodox Church and his wife. BTW, the Greek church is right next to the Airbnb. I cannot say enough good things to say about our experience. The only thing I would have changed is I wish we had longer to stay. My advice to anyone planning to stay with Antonino is to let him know what you are planning to come for and I am sure he will role out the red carpet as they did for us.
