09/07/2025: We were looking for a convenient place to visit the Fiumara d'Arte and Cefalù in peace. We searched and booked this farmhouse, just a few kilometers from Reitano and Santo Stefano di Camastra. The promise of a magical stay was immediately apparent when we received a warm welcome from Mr. Giacomo and his wife, Cherubina. Upon seeing us arrive on our motorcycles at a very hot time (temperatures over 36 degrees Celsius), they immediately greeted us, offering us drinks and a good coffee.
The property is well-maintained, and Mrs. Cherubina's cuisine is exquisite, made with their own products such as jams, oil, wine, vegetables, pasta, and more. Our room was very comfortable and cozy, equipped with a TV, air conditioning, and a refrigerator. A real highlight is the splendid swimming pool, which allowed us to relax in the cool shade on hot afternoons.
The real difference, however, is made by Giacomo, Cherubina, and their daughters: very welcoming people who are attentive to all their guests' needs, making them feel at home. I recommend everyone to try this place.

08/07/2025: A Hidden Gem in Sicily: A Solo Traveler's Paradise
I arrived at Agriturismo L'Uliveto with high expectations, and I was blown away by the breathtaking beauty of this Sicilian haven. The moment I stepped out of the car, I was greeted by a stunning garden, vibrant flowers, and a picturesque valley landscape.
Cherobina, the warm and welcoming host, along with her lovely family, made me feel right at home. My cozy room boasted a perfect size and a jaw-dropping view that I couldn't get enough of.
The pool and surroundings are a tranquil oasis, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. Cherobina's homemade cooking is a culinary delight, with generous portions that will leave you feeling satisfied and content. Not forgetting the delicious spread for breakfast along with all her homemade jams and biscottis!
What truly sets Agriturismo L'Uliveto apart is the genuine warmth and hospitality of Cherobina and her family. As a solo traveler, I felt comfortable and at ease, and I would highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the beauty of Sicily.
Tip: Renting a car is a must to fully experience the surrounding area. I explored Cefalù, parts of Palermo, Scopello, Mondello, and the local town nearby.. which is also a must see with all the ceramic shops, coffee shops and there is also a really nice fish restaurant Manueliana.
Agriturismo L'Uliveto has stolen my heart, and I hope to return very soon. It's a home away from home, and I'm so grateful to have discovered it. 🥹♥️
