Antonino made us feel very welcome in his little hotel and brought us a cold, free drink on arrival. The staff is also very nice and polite.

He's a great guy and a great cook, and he actually saved me a speeding ticket with his advice on when to slow down on the highway to Palermo.

So on the host level, he's as good as they come.

However, the place didn't live up to our expectations.

1. On arrival craftsmen were working in the pool area. They continued until evening time.
2. The farmhouse is situated right next to a noisy road. Not exactly what you had in mind when going to a "farmhouse", and I'm pretty surprised that nobody else have mentioned it in the reviews.
3. Antonino told us on arrival that we could pay for dinner with our credit card, but on the morning of our departure, he said that he would only accept cash. That's not okay. We had to drive to downtown Agrigento to pick up the money.
4. On arrival my girlfriend and my son - who is three and a half year old - decided to ignore the presence of craftsmen and take a dip in the pool, but Antonino "had forgot to tell us" that only kids older than seven years old were allowed to use the pool.
My girlfriend put up quite an argument and finally convinced him that "no pee or poo" would end up in the water, because we have "pee and poo secured" swimming diapers. Pretty standard equipment nowadays for families.
We could have avoided the trouble, if Antonino had written the pool rules on airbnb.

So to wrap things up. It's a good pit stop, the host is really nice and kind, but it's not a good place to sit and relax and enjoy the countryside.
