I don’t often give compliments this way, but our stay with Antonio and his family was nothing short of extraordinary. Their care, and attention to detail was like no other.
As hosts they were very attentive to our needs, and generous. They gave us a tour of the grounds, spoke with us about the culture and local scene, gave us local recommendations, and even placed freshly picked flowers in our bedroom!
We even booked a cooking class with them. We expected a simple class presenting a traditional Sicilian dish or two… but the family went out of their way to curate a SEVEN course meal Cooking Class for just my boyfriend and I to enjoy one afternoon and evening. This was entirely based on fresh seasonal produce.
Set in a traditional Italian kitchen, shown all the family’s cooking secrets, and all ingredients were home grown, or fresh and locally sourced. They cooked with soul, and taught us how to. As a food lover and cook myself, I thought this experience was nothing short of wonderful. They offered us beer and wine at our leisure as we cooked and ate the day away. It was a genuinely unforgettable experience.
The venue was gorgeous too, hugged by mountains and hills, surrounded by green and olive groves. Our room was cozy and the bathroom was luxurious and spacious too. Very romantic indeed.
I’d love to go back. Grazzie a tutti!!!
