We cannot say enough about how welcoming Antonio was from the moment we arrived. He set out wine & his own sun dried tomatoes & olives for us. His house is charming & his property is lush with almond, fig, cherry & peach trees (although the listing is misleading because it is not in the countryside, it is just a minute away from the large town of Canicatti). He offered to make us dinner several nights & prepared a four course authentic Sicilian feast complete with Sicilian desserts & local wine. Breakfast was also a feast including a fig pie of sorts, a dozen homemade marmalades to sample, fresh squeezed orange juice, fruit from his property & fresh ricotta. He gave us a history lesson about how Sicilian cuisine has been influenced by all the people who have conquered the island in the past (Normans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs & Spanish). He gave us advise on where to travel & what to see. He even insisted on driving us to Palermo & showing us around. The only complaint we had was the mosquitoes! Make sure you bring lots of bug spray!

If you want an authentic Sicilian experience, this is the place to stay!
