Staying with Anna was my VERY FIRST Airbinb experience ever on my trip to Sicily. I stayed at four others after that and I have to say I compared them all to my stay at Anna's. I was joyfully greeted by her daughter, who was there for a visit, and Anna joined us shortly thereafter to welcome me like I was family. She had the kindness of heart to actually read my profile and send me a text letting me know that she was looking forward to meeting me. Immediately, I knew I was going to be taken care of with kindness, warm, and a rare generosity of spirit!

First of all, I loved the location which was an easy walk to many places to see. Parking could not have been easier.

Second, I had a gorgeous, quiet, spacious and wonderfully decorated private room. Anna's eclectic taste was so charming. I loved it! Not only did my room have an amazing view over the Valley of Temples and the ocean, being able to stand on the balcony off of the dining area to watch the moon pass over the ocean was beautiful! My bathroom was outfitted with all the amenities I could possibly want.

Thirdly, breakfast was homemade tortes, fresh brewed espresso, brioche and juices. I loved having Anna join me as I was traveling by myself.

Lastly, I was not just a house guest. She was not just my host. I made a dear friend with someone whose spirit I connected with immediately, despite the language barriers we had to work around. Anna and I became fast friends, sharing so much in the short time we spent together, but it quickly became apparent I was not just staying at her house. I was being welcomed into her family. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you are blessed. I felt very blessed to have found her B&B and, even more so, to have found Anna, someone I will see again as soon as possible! I was visiting a true home, a place I loved so much, I stayed an extra night!
