If you really want to feel pampered, this is the place for you. I stayed with Yvonne and Fabrizio last weekend and it was slow travel at its finest - from the antique Sicilian hand-embroidered bed linens, expertly laundered and ironed, to the fluffy towels - no small feat in Sicily where there are no dryers, to the orange blossom scent from the carefully selected Sicilian soaps, to the pool … an oasis in the heat of the Sicilian summer with charming dragon flys flitting around the gorgeous blue water. The setting is a bit like Ireland with a Sicilian accent - there are rolling hills, stone walls, a big sky, a view of the sea, which is only a 15 minute walk away, and it is quiet - birds chirping, roosters crowing, just lovely sounds of nature. You might even catch a parade of sheep going by. But for all of its tranquility, it is still close to Pozzallo and Ispica, as well as other must see places. Yvonne and Fabrizio have spent months renovating, curating, and anticipating a guest’s every need, and they have surpassed the very high standard they set for themselves. The renovation was extensive but you won’t find the ubiquitous faux grey wood floors here; instead you will find a fresh take on traditional Sicilian tiles, you won’t find a houseful of build-it-yourself furniture; instead you will find heirlooms from Fabrizio’s family that Yvonne lovingly updated, and you won’t find the latest trend that has gone viral on social media platforms; instead you will find a house with personality unique to and reflective of Yvonne and Fabrizio. A boutique bed and breakfast isn’t just about the physical structure and the setting - it’s also about the hosts and the atmosphere they create for and radiate to their guests, and Yvonne and Fabrizio have charm and warm welcomes in abundance. So if you want your trip to have real personal touch, where you actually get to meet the hosts and have a lovely chat with them, give Farfalla Blu a try. I suspect that once you go you will return again and again. I know I will.
