EAT HERE. I want to get that out of the way right off the bat. Antonio and crew offer a home cooked tasting menu and you absolutely must take him up on it at least one night of your stay. You will eat like kings and drink more wine than you intend to and Antonio will provide endless charm and conversation.
Now that’s out of the way, the house is also adorable. We enjoyed time reading by the fire and sitting out on the patio during the day. Antonio gave us great recommendations to explore nearby so we saw the charming town of Naro and the Valle dei Templi (both within 30 minutes) and went a bit further afield to check out Villa Della Romana and Necropoli Pantalica (my fave of the lot). Just down the road there’s a a lovely olive grove you can take a stroll in, too.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a five-star home-cooked Sicilian meal and you’d be a fool to pass it up.
