After staying with Antonio last year we couldn't wait to go back and booked again for this summer. Once again we had an unbelievably brilliant experience since he is the Ultimate Host. Cooking was always spectacular; course after course, including wild boar from the mountains steeped in lemons, stuffed calamari, almond lattice tarts - homemade before work - various sheep cheeses adorned with blobs of his garden jams, Golden fish in herb stalks and oranges, caponata bejewelled in his own almonds, mussel and langoustine pasta, home dried tomatoes and aubergine fritters - the list goes on and the courses go on. Antonio's knowledge of cooking and ingredients woven round Sicilian history is staggering and educational -even how he collects and preserves capers! He arranged visits to stunning local churches, a vineyard etc and always went out of his way to help and be hospitable. Everything about the place, ambience, location and Antonio is positive. He grows the best ingredients - fruits of all varieties and vegetables and nuts and provides the highest quality fish, seafood, meats, salamis and cheeses. Our son enjoyed playing with the new kittens and sampling different foods. Antonio's traditional rustic house is well situated for sites of special interest especially Agrigento's Temples, Armerina and the coast. We shall repeatedly go back to visit Antonio if possible as the entire experience is fascinating and truly wonderful. Both Antonio and Sicily are utterly stimulating; full of love, warmth and joy. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN ANTONIO! See you next time.
