January 2024Exclusive retreat in magical and wild Sicily
The journey started with the first e-mail exchange with Linda that made me feel in good hands. Upon arrival Aldo and Maria prepared delicious local dishes for us and we went to bed a little tipsy from wine and Sicilian hospitality. In the morning we where spoilt with local bread and almond pastries. Then we started to feel the magic, the wildness, the exotisme that is particular to Sicily. We visited Taormina, Siracuse/ Ortigia, Ragusa, Modica, Agrigento and of course beautiful Caltagirone. We tasted so many local dishes, Canolli the best we ever had, and Caponata was new to us. In the evenings we reflected the day and relaxed in the property with a glas of local wine. The property was awesome! Congratulations to Linda and Gipi you did such a great job on renovating / decorating this palmento. We were so sad we had to leave this perfect stay. Thanks for sharing your Sicily with us!”

May 2023wonderful VILLA!
Both the design and the grounds of the Villa were wonderful. The hosts kind and helpful. This is the first time we have a thirdhome that has more than basic ingredients and equipment available for cooking, we could tell that they are foodies. All was really useful. I wish we could have spent more time. A real 5 stars stay. thank you Lynda and Gipi for making this possible for us. ”
