Wow! We knew from the other reviews that we would have a great place to stay. But we did not realize how special the experience would be. We had missed one of our connections through Paris, so I updated Claudio along the way. Not only was he flexible and understanding but when we arrived much later in the evening than expected, Claudio welcomed us with a tour of the area, we had some beautiful wine and he introduced us to some of the local Sicilians in our neighborhood. What's remarkable about how welcoming, kind, and warm Claudio is is that we spoke just a few words of Italian and Claudio only a few words of English. But it did not matter at all. Claudio is a very special person, and we are so happy that we met him!
