We had a great time staying with Marghe and Lorenzo. They were really helpful in answering questions before and during our stay, making sure that we got the most from our time in Sicily whilst never being over-bearing. The house is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos - a tastefully decorated building in the centre of town with enormous rooms which they've renovated to an immaculate standard, whilst keeping a lot of original fittings.

M&L arranged a local food-sampling evening for us and the other guests at the house, where we tried salami, cheese and wine all local to the area, as well as olive oil produced from olives from their family estate! They were even kind enough to let us visit the estate, learn about the oil making process (olive harvest was underway) and see the site of an ancient greek hideout situated on the land.

The town itself was small but beautiful, and I was really pleased that we chose to stay there rather than somewhere larger such as Taormina (which was interesting & great to visit but far more expensive and aggressively tourist orientated). There weren't enough meals in the day to eat as much as we'd have liked to at the fantastic deli & restaurants in town, and not enough hours to visit everywhere we'd have liked during our 4 days.

We have plans to re-visit Sicily in the future as the roads looked good for cycling on (with some great looking climbs around Etna), and we'll definitely spend time at Domus Fisauli again.
