Get to really know Sicily
First impression was dispelled when we opened all the shutters and let in the sunshine. It was fun sitting on the balcony to watch life below. Super friendly and helpful people. Wish there were more restos near but no problem. Stores nearby

Sizilien life
Top Lage im Zentrum des Ortes in ordentlichem Altbau. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen im Zentrum der Insel (Villa Casale, Morgantina, Enna, Caltanisetta, Caltagirone, Piazza Armerina...). Typisch sizilianisches Flair. Erfreulich wenig Tourismus. Sehr freundlicher und hilfreicher Empfang vor Ort durch Carmelo.
