This is the secret you want to tell the world about! Our experience with Antonio surpassed all expectation. We ate each night for those 5 nights the most unbelievably delicious meals he had prepared; course after course, a total feast for the eyes and stomach. Different wines for the variety of foods, all the fruits and vegetables from the garden and we were captivated by Antonio's zeal and knowledge. We tried so many Sicilian dishes - langoustine pasta, bean stew, antipasto, sausages, melanzane, homegrown pesto, rolled beef, about 20 varieties of cheese! He cooks with love. He talks about Sicily with love. The whole experience blew us away. His garden of Eden is filled abundantly with trees and produce: fig, aubergines, peach, medlar, cherry, mulberry, citrus, pistachio, walnut, olives, plum, pear, almond - the list goes on. We got lost en route and Antonio collected us in Canicatti, despite the fact we were one and a half hours late, he didn't seem to mind at all! Antonio welcomed us into his home in the true sense of the word - hospitality (he took us to Palermo one day)! It was a memorable time and we can't wait to go back to stay with him. There were kittens and figs and almonds drying in the sun, home-made jams for breakfast, glorious and golden. One morning we woke to the wafts of a fig and almond tart Antonio had been busily making before he went off with his briefcase to work at the local hospital. We could not recommend Antonio more, for his knowledge, his culinary skills, his ingredients, his care and thought and passion. Thank you Vincent too! Antonio needs to get an award for everything he does and perhaps he could open a cookery school or write a cookery book. I felt like we were in a film or a dream; a rare and wonderful holiday. THANK YOU.
