‘Warm, intentional’ local hosting

Gio is increasingly popular among visitors seeking agenuine Sicilianconnection. When travelers survey Catania in 2025, over 90 per cent say they value the personal touch of a local host who knows every hidden alley and the best pistachio granita in town. Today, a whopping 85 per cent of our guests say they find a home away from home in Gio's curated properties.

Guests who have stayed with Gio described the experience as "quieter and more soulful" than standard hotels. It's less about commercial tourism and more about immersion. As a result, the time spent at Gio's properties is more meaningful; guests spend time discovering aspirational local crafts that help them envision a slower, richer lifestyle. As Gio herself says, "Hosting is my way of sharing the heartbeat of Sicily."
