Our stay at the beautiful, magical, Poet's House was a highlight during our first trip to Sicily. Once we arrived we realized right away that we wanted to stay longer...and so we did! It was happily, so much more than we expected.
Adriano & Yumi were very kind, generous and welcoming-we felt right at home immediately.
What they have created is something incredibly special.
The details that have gone into this extraordinary place are so unique. You cannot help but feel the serenity and creativity all around you. The way the light falls in at the end of the day and in the early morning, make you feel as though you are living in a painting. The textures and colors are a site to behold.
Adriano met us and took us up to the Villa, he walked us through the beautiful grounds, pointing out the numerous fruit trees and the luscious, bio-dynamic garden, which we were fortunate to share in during our visit. Yumi graciously left us a sweet plate of peaches and pears from the trees surrounding us. They were both so accomodating and patiently talked to us about the best sites to see and best places to eat around the island. Adriano introduced us to, Lidia Renda, we had dinner at her trattoria and it was our favorite meal in all of Sicily- we went back the next night for more!
They had bikes for us to ride and we took evening and early morning rides. We also met the "Poet" who this particular house is named after. We felt his inspiration and theirs during our entire stay. We highly recommend a visit to Villa Salinara. We cannot wait to go back. It was like a dream.

Thank you again Adriano & Yumi!
