Wow - what a beautiful setting for a holiday! Lorenzo's farm comprises acres of olive groves with lemon trees overlooking the countryside for as far as the eye can see. Just stunning... and this is the view from the VERY BIG private, incredibly clean pool. The best private pool we've ever had...
The buildings are also amazing and clearly, and rightly, a source of pride for Lorenzo as the family have farmed there for 6 generations. Picturesque and spacious. The house we stayed in had two large bedrooms and a very well equipped bathroom with a massive shower (which we loved!).
The kitchen is also much better than any other self-catering set-ups we've ever had. Two giant fridges, big barbecue outside or little hob inside, coffee machine. Great range of cooking utensils (including good array of sharp knives which seems to be a rarity in most places). Nice wine glasses. And Lorenzo gave us ready access to his wines at a great price along with a good range of complimentary breakfast foods and water.
Lorenzo responded quickly to our queries before we arrived and that included some excellent recommendations for restaurants locally which was very helpful as this part of Sicily is incredibly blessed for food options!
I've left our favourite part til last. The animals. We just loved meeting the cats, dogs, horses, chickens, rabbits and pigs with their little piglets. Just adorable and obviously very well cared for.
In summary we had a fantastic holiday in a wonderful location with a great host and can't wait to come back.
Thank you, Lorenzo!
