Staying with Marco was a wonderful surprise. He is a thoughtful, caring person and he made me feel safe and at ease. I had a room all to myself and the work was easy and relaxed, with hours respected and a lot of flexibility.

I got to know beautiful places like Arenella and Ortigia and I lived an unforgettable adventure in his camper up to Sette Voci, an alternative community near Catania, where I participated in an incredible event. Marco also cooks very well. I found a friend for life. I really recommend him! ❤️
