   I love to travel so spending six weeks in Italy, including Sicily, was a dream adventure. The challenge I faced was twofold: one, paring down the places to visit without running nonstop, and two, financially doing that without breaking the bank. A lot of the affordable places I have stayed at, especially in Europe, often need a makeover or have TINY bathrooms with showers so small I had to open the door to bend over and wash my feet, and toilets in places that I either had to sit on sideways to fit my legs without eating my knees or be a contortionist to get the toilet paper. 
       When Adele, her granddaughter, and I walked down the patio lined with tables overlooking a spectacular view I was really hoping that the room was as good. She opened the door and I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing that hit me was how new and modern it was, so tastefully constructed and decorated. Secondly, it was so spacious. There was tons of room to walk around; I could put my luggage down and still have feet and feet of space. The next thing I noticed was how clean it was- truly clean. The corners and edges next to the walls weren't brown from repeated mopping without really ‘scrubbing’ the floor (like my mother insisted). The bed looked comfy without sagging in the middle, making me hopeful that it felt as good as it looked. The pillows were large and plump. 
       Next she showed me the bathroom which was equally spacious with a large shower and a layout that accommodated any size person. It also had no odor which is a biggy for me. So far, so great. We went back into the main room where she opened the mini fridge and presented me with a bottle of wine. She also offered me coffee or tea, neither of which I drink. At that point she walked out the double doors that had a double option! There were doors made of stained wood with adjustable louvers that opened out and latched onto the outside wall so they stayed open. Then there were glass doors that opened to the inside and locked from both inside and out. (I always left them both wide open. I never got one mosquito bite the during the whole time I was there; in fact I never saw a bug of any kind.) She returned with a nice cold, big bottle of orange soda. There was a large basket of freshly picked apricots with the leaves still on some of them! She gave me the WiFi code, I thanked her, and she was off. She spoke little to no English but her granddaughter was quick to get her phone and bring up Google Translate so we did just fine.
       Being exhausted from traveling there from Sicily, I pulled back the bedspread and sheet to lie down. The sheets were perfectly white, PRESSED, and had a lovely vine of tiny, hand-embroidered pastel flowers. The bed was perfect, nice and new, with great support. Wow, smooth ironed sheets, big fluffy pillows…..I was in heaven. 
       Later, when I went outside I noticed there was a garden of vegetables and fruit trees followed by an incredible view of a valley and mountains with the sea to the left. One of the tables had an umbrella to provide respite from the sun. It was beautiful. To my left was a huge wooden deck being built that just needed trimming on the end so I carefully walked up and out. The view was even more astounding. I had found the real Italy. 
       I ventured down the path, turning right and then left around more patches of flowers, as the building was set back from the road behind another building. There was a little store maybe fifty yards/meters on my left where locals shopped and had their bill written in a small book like “Little House On The Prairie. They must have paid when they had it or got their paycheck. The bus stop was right across the street. I had come by bus from Amalfi for a pittance. There was a bar and restaurant with a huge deck on my right. Further down the road there were several more restaurants which, by the way, served very good food, and another fruit and vegetable market on the left. All the way to the ‘end’ of the road, less than a mile, was a beautiful overlook with the sea right below. Around the corner a long stairs brought you right to the beach. By the way, Adele can tell where all the best beaches are. There are lots of hiking trails...The Walk Of The Gods...if you're into hiking. There is another quaint little town heading left out of the bed and breakfast. It is more of a little town then what's to the right if you want to do a bit of shopping.
       Every day, in the afternoon (if I was around), I got a special delivery of gelato with a cookie on top! Talk about being pampered! I even received a gift bag the day I was leaving and it wasn't just trinkets. It was watercolor prints, large and small, of the countryside that surrounded me, a piece of glassware with Italy on it, among some other things. I have never, in my 30+ years of traveling around the world, been treated so kindly as I was treated there.
       The big cities everyone knows and reads about have the beautiful cathedrals and museums with world famous art, which is great, but they're also packed with tourists and very pricey shops and restaurants. There are plenty of fancy and midrange hotels all over Italy, but to me, you can get those anywhere- probably right in your own hometown. They are all basically the same. I prefer to experience difference, individuality, that changes from place to place. That's why I travel. 
       If you want to experience the real Italy, jump on the bus or get in your car and head up the mountains to Da Zia Adele. Stay awhile. You might have to forgo an art gallery or cathedral but you can always go online and take a virtual tour of those. It looks exactly the same. No, you cannot touch them but you can't touch them in person either. Buy a book or some postcards; they're exactly the same. You won't be able to tell your friends “I was there; I saw it in person.” But take a moment to ask yourself why you're  going to Italy. What will you experience that enriches your life on a human, cultural level, the level that really counts, the level that creates lasting memories that embed themselves in your very being, where you will remember them and feel them again and again? There's something you can't get anywhere else- the experience of the real Italy. You can get that staying at a lovely place called Da Zia Adele, where you can go to some beaches, do a little shopping, go hiking and exploring in the surrounding countryside, or sit outside in the evening gazing at the stars and looking at the twinkling of houses lit far in the distance. It's unique; it's what makes Italy Italy. Trust me, you won't regret it.
