It was quite magical for the seven of us (TraderVic, DSister2, DD and her boyfriend and DS2 and his girlfriend) to spend Christmas in a small Sicilian village with TraderVic's cousins.
There is so much to share with you all but I am going to start with where we stayed. Obviously, as there were seven of us, it was too many to stay with the cousins. They live in a small village, called Acate, in the south of Sicily, too small to have a hotel or even Air BnB. However - using Booking.com - I managed to find us a BnB about 10kms away from Acate, in the middle of the countryside.
The BnB was called Casale Rocca Fiorita and it was a centuries old farmhouse which used to belong to the Prince of Biscari (which was what Acate was called until the end of WWII.).
It was just gorgeous and Paola, our hostess, was so very gracious and kind to us.
However, I will let the many, many pics do the talking...
Gorgeous, isn't it? Thanks for visiting, I do so hope that you are enjoying my travel blog posts - there are still many more to come!
hugs,
