Came here with my husband for our wedding anniversary and we had a lovely experience is Cassa de montabalno. Maria the housekeeper was amazing. Very helpful friendly and when we arrived we had to organise a Covid test. She organised it with the help of Ivana and we were very happy that they helped us. Maria was a source of information and arranged us to go on a day tour on a Montabalno Day Tour with Nunzio the taxi driver. We had a wonderful day. I would highly recommend this b&b to anyone who loves the tv show. Only negative was we missed the season and not many restaurants were open but we didn’t starve. We bought our food in the local shop and ate on the balcony in the evening. Thank you for having us!

We were recommended to Paulo by friends and they were right, we had an outstanding 2 weeks touring Sicily. Nothing was a problem, we saw all the sights, were accommodated in great hotels in ideal locations. Paulo had all the answers (and I had plenty of questions). His knowledge and abilty to explain was outstanding. The Merc was an ideal way to get around, Don't consider driving yourself it's hair raising, leave it to a professional. The agri stay was fantastic.

A wonderful day with a wonderful family. Giuseppe and his parents offer a unique opportunity to explore the foods of Sicily. The first stop is visiting the market to pick up the provisions for lunch. The market is still frequented by locals and is a manageable size so you can really learn about the unique fruits, veggies and fish of Sicily. Then its off to the house to prepare lunch. Giuseppe and his parents were warm and generous in sharing their home. We learned new cooking techniques and more about Sicily. This is a very special experience to be invited into a home and share in the life of this wonderful family. Highly recommended!

Grazie Letizia for taking me to all the best food places in Ortigia on this tour. I was grateful Letizia honoured the booking as my private guide as no one else had signed up that day. You will eat a ton of food and just getting to the front of the queue at Caseificio Borderi is worth the cost of the tour alone :) Don’t miss this tour!
