We stayed in many places in Sicily, and Maria's was most true to the spirit of airbnb. She was always the first to ask me about anything we needed, and when we arrived at night, the house was already warm and all ready to use. Despite the language barrier, she tried her best to explain everything we would need to know about heating, electricity or the stove in the kitchen, and she kindly baked some sweet breads for us which were simple and delicious :) I really appreciated how warm her welcome was and her house felt like a real home and not just a way to make money. The house was perfect for five people, and the location is great for visiting Cefalu and for going to Palermo. I would definitely want to return if I ever visit Sicily again, and I'm sure anyone would appreciate Maria's place.
