Buon Viaggi

After months of arranging my vacation to Sicily, I arrived in Catania three days ago. Disembarking from the brief flight from Rome, my girlfriend and I headed straight for Caol Ishka Hotel, 2 km from the historical center of Siracusa. For weeks I've been communicating with a woman named Erika who has arranged the details of our stay at this beautiful inn, surrounded by lush grounds on the bank of the Anapo River. Now, here she was in person to welcome us to this unique 10-room hotel, a blend of contemporary style within an old Sicilian masseria. Fabulous Erika: thank you for making our stay so memorable. I'm convinced that she influenced the gods of good weather for our benefit. Tutto bene. For details, visit www.coalishka.com
