COCCIU D’AMURI

Great staff and owner, amazing breakfast

The breakfast was fresh made and included eggs to order, fresh squeezed orange juice, freshly made cakes and breakfast pastries made by the host, Jasper, himself, along with homemade jams made from fruits from his garden with grape sugar and no other added sugar. I could have eaten a bowlful of those jams. Fresh espresso is a staple in Italy and Jasper's was perfecto! If you're lucky you may get to try some of his homemade Mango cello, like the Italian staple Lemon cello, only made with fresh mangoes, again, from his garden. It was a taste of heaven, if you love mangoes.

I didn't like that I had to leave. I would have stayed longer, and even asked if I could, however, his place is fully booked, so I'm grateful that this was the place I landed when I arrived in Sicily for the first time in almost 30 years. It was certainly a welcome retun.

Finish to the property and attention to detail was exceptional - bedroom great size, bathroom shower and lay out was superb. Pictures are accurate but stll do not do it justice. Breakfast again exceeded expectations-homemade cakes, jams , freshly squeesed orange juice, eggs to order etc etc. But the crowning glory was the host himself - Gaspare - so friendly and welcoming. Gave us suggestions re restuarants [again bang on], thermal spa and other places to see - could not have been more helpful. End result was we extended our stay which speaks for itself.

nothing - maybe better signage outside.- Review should include my name - John. Should not be anonymous- ensure this is the case

Location is easy reachable but only if you have a car. Parking is easy and always available when we were there. Gaspare is a dedicated and very likable host, he even bakes cakes for the guests breakfast.

The only thing we were missing was a healthier alternative for breakfast - we are not big cake eaters and would like access to more local fruit and maybe granola for breakfast. That said, the coffee, juice, and scrambled eggs were lovely and Gaspare packed the "morning cake" so we could take it with us to the beach..
