Pianogrillo was the absolute highlight of a wonderful trip to Sicily. The farm is utterly beautiful. The various buildings ooze rustic charm, while the yards of vines, fruit and livestock bring vibrant life to the whole place. The friendly (or maybe just hungry...?) black pigs in particular are a delight as they waddle out of their sty to offer snorts of welcome. The guest house is a cool space away from the sweltering sun, with two comfortable bedrooms full of gorgeous antique furniture. A kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for a simple breakfast; toast, jam, coffee, tea, etc. The newly built swimming pool is simply stunning, with views for miles around. Of course the real star of Pianogrillo is the host, Lorenzo. He is kind and helpful, and very generous with the produce from the farm - at different times during our stay we were lucky enough to be offered fresh eggs, two kinds of sausage, and a taste of his exceptional wine one sunny afternoon by the pool. We were invited in to his private home for a brief guided tour of his extraordinary collection of family heirlooms, and on our final morning he gave us a walk round the wine making facility. He describes everything there in extremely humble terms but we were not surprised to be served a bottle of Pianogrillo white during lunch in nearby Ragusa Ibla at the 2 Michelin star Duomo Ristorante. A final word for Lorenzo's dog Lupo - though not "dog people," we fell in love with this gorgeous animal, and we are sure you will too. If you are looking at this, book a stay at Pianogrillo right now, you won't regret it!
