Our week at Paul and Davidâs restored olive mill in Caccamo was nothing short of magical. As first-time visitors to Italyâand traveling with two young childrenâit was the perfect introduction to Sicilian life. The home itself felt like it belonged in Architectural Digest: timeless, beautifully renovated, and designed with care. Every room was immaculately clean, well-appointed, and perfectly suited for our party of eight, including two kids.The pool was stunning, the amenities were thoughtful, and the rooftop terrace became one of our favorite places. Hanging laundry there felt poetic, with panoramic views of Lago Rosamarina, sheep bells echoing in the valleys, and golden light pouring over the hills. Even the mundane became memorable.As American expatriates, Paul and David were a godsendâattuned to our needs, always quick to respond, and full of incredible local recommendations for restaurants, shops, and historic sites. Their hospitality was warm, generous, and truly above and beyond. Sharing a glass of wine with them felt like catching up with old friends.This home was more than a stayâit was a soul-filling experience. Our children thrived, we slowed down, and we left already dreaming of our return. Paul and David didnât just host usâthey became part of our story.
