When I saw the photos on Airbnb of this place, I knew I had to go there. If you are traveling to Sicily for the food (and who isn’t?), look no further!! The 8- course meal prepared by Antonio and Kausar was possibly the best meal I have ever eaten. Each course was fresh, traditional, beautifully presented and amazingly delicious. (see below for a detailed description of the individual courses). Beautiful gardens and surrounding land, although the overall feeling is “rustic” and all a bit overgrown rather than carefully tended, but with all the essential herbs and vegetables for meal preparation. Antonio suggested places to visit during the days and was helpful by phone, when we were searching for a restaurant rather late in the evening. Property was not as rural as I expected- just on the edge of town, but rural enough to have lots of mosquitoes (repellant provided). But the Antonio and Kausar’s friendly and informative hospitality, and the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DINNER make this a place to stay!!! Highly recommended!
