We really had a wonderful time at the Tenuto Bartoli! We were welcomed very warmly by the so charming and friendly owners Pietro and Mimi. They offerd us so much hospitality by letting us swim in their amazingly comfortable swimming-pool and use their fitness-room. They even offered us drinks and a marvelous diner. They also adviced us what was worth seeing in the region and they invited us to visit the centre of contemporary art in Favela, where the director - the nephew of Pietro - gave as a personal tour.
We enjoyed very much the beautiful environment of the tenuto that is full with olive trees, vineyards and fruit-trees. The pastoral atmosphere was enhanced by the presence of farm-animals like cows, chickens, geese and goats. This place is especially suitable for people who prefer a quite, peaceful and luxurious vacation in nature. This part of Sicily is to our satisfaction not very tourist, apart from the famous sight-seeing spots (for example Piazza Armerina and the Valley of the temples). This mixture of nature, rest, feeling welcome and the presence of interesting cultural monuments made this stay one of our most unforgettable holidays.
