18/11/2024: This is a luxury working farm, and a piece of Sicilian history. If you have the good fortune to drive here in middle of the countryside with wild horses on the road. You will be blessed.So much attention to detail in every step you take.The staff was friendly and welcoming , it is not the Pullman in Paris so keep that in mind ,it is a working farm with lovely accommodations. The food at dinner was clean ,healthy , satisfying and delicious but small portions. The breakfast was by far the best breakfast of any hotel that I have stayed in the world. The chef was there to cook your farm fresh eggs any style you desired, Everything was local and super fresh, such as -nuts, fresh produce to juice, cakes, tarts, croissants, meats and beautiful local cheeses ,home made butter, home made breads & cookies, fresh made yogurt , it goes on and on everything made on sight or close by local. The hotel is quite maybe to quite, needs music by pool for my taste.I felt very special to be able to be part of history staying in this labor of love in the resurrection of this family farm. They loan you a small book to read in your room , the story & history & significance of this beautiful place in Sicily the book is written by the owner.The rooms are cozy and decorated so beautiful clean lines. The bar room a converted working room was magnificent, comfortable with a large fireplace . I could have spent days in this room. With the fire going. But sadly my only complaint is that the owners beautiful dog Bruno is able to run freely and greet people , which is great but there are two very sweet dogs that are locked in a small caged area, not the best conditions . No shade in the hot sun with a "tiny" dog house for one dog ,not suitable for hot summer heat nor winter. They are not taken out for walks and they look at you with please pet me and get me out of here. They do not bark when you say hello
to
them
from the high wall above ,they just want attention and love ! This was so upsetting. That the owners could be so cruel. I know it is Sicily things are different here, but the owners are educated, well read and traveled people. I was shocked how these dogs were kept.
This ruined my lovely stay at this magnificent working farm. I would have gave them 5 stars but gave them 4 because of the dogs .
