“The travel moments that matter”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We had a bit of trouble finding our way to the farm but Silvia was ever-so-patient as I repeatedly called to clarify our directions. Silvia’s farm is a real working farm where olives, almonds, wheat, beans and other organic produce are grown. It sits on 90 hectares and is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Everywhere you look there are flowers of all varieties growing- many beautifully scented. It’s a joy to sit and look across the property and beyond. It was wonderful to finally meet Silvia, whom I had only communicated with via email. She is a warm and very genuine person. We spent an afternoon at the pool then went for a walk outside the property with the resident dog Lola following us. We enjoyed a delicious meal with Silvia and her equally friendly husband Bruno. Dinner consisted of homemade ricotta; thinly sliced zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper; stuffed cherry tomatoes; a pasta casserole with eggplant, peas and sauce; then a third course of spedini; asparagus; fava beans and artichokes; and finally desert of homemade tangerine gelato. While the food was excellent, the company of and conversation with our hosts is what made the evening so memorable. Those are the moments travelling when one feels changed by the experience. That is something that rarely happens in a restaurant- no matter how good the food. We slept soundly in our comfortable though modest rooms. The next day after a lovely breakfast we purchased bottles of Silvia’s organic olive oil to give as gifts. If you find yourself in the center of Sicily-perhaps travelling from one end of the island to the other- be sure to stop for a night or more with Silvia. You won’t be disappointed.

“Sillitti Agriturismo - fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

We agree with all the previous comments regarding this farmstay. It really was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. Silvia and Bruno were wonderful hosts. The location was perfect - lovely setting in the hills with gorgeous landscaping and a nice pool to enjoy. They have olive groves and have olive oil made, and additionally grow organic almonds and lentils. We enjoyed sharing interesting conversations with them over welcoming drinks and limoncello at the end of the day. Having the opportunity to see how the farm works, and to learn about the Italian way of life was a real plus of the stay. Silvia speaks quite good English, so it was easy to converse. If you get the chance to experience this, we highly recommend it.

“A real agrotourismo - as it should be”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

We spent two nights here, as part of a two week tour of Sicily. Everything about this place is fabulous. The room was cool, tranquil and perfectly situated -you could smell the fresh rosemary when you walked out the door. The pool was brilliant after a hot day of touring the nearby sites, making the location great for accessing the sea and some of Sicily's great historical ruins. Silvia's breakfasts were heavenly, and the dinner she prepared on request was a real, authentic taste of organic Sicily. Azienda Agricola is a proper working farm, so we were able to pick vegetables from Silvia's patch for our lunch, and really feel like we were getting a slice of Sicilian farm life. Perfect for a quiet, relaxing time, as well as brilliantly located for sight seeing. Silvia herself made us feel totally welcome and was really helpful in guiding us and suggesting some great options. A real gem - we'd definitely go back, hopefully for longer!

“It's all true!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

We chose Silvia Sillitti's agriturismo for a weekend stay at the end of our recent Sicilian holiday having read previous reviews and we were not disappointed.
It is a lovely place in a lovely setting but what makes it special is the friendliness of owners Silvia and Bruno. They are genuinely delighted to welcome guests and ensure that they enjoy their stay - we are not surprised so many keep going back.
We feel that we have made new friends in Silvia & Bruno too and look forward to going back as soon as we have an opportunity.
We had dinner with them on both evenings. The food was excellent and plentiful. The second evening Silvia agreed to have dinner a little earlier so that our granddaughter (just under 4) could join us even though it meant starting before Bruno got back from work - just one little indicator of how they will put themselves out for guests.
Breakfast also good and plentiful with excellent homemade cakes.
Super pool and outdoor areas for relaxation with plenty of shade when you need it.
Can imagine that if you had only one holiday in Sicily this would be a great location as most sights and coasts within 1½ hour's drive.

Room Tip: Book early to get mini-apartments if you can.

“Amazing place in the middle of nowhere, yet, quite close to the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

It was hard to find but Silvia picked us up in Caltanissetta and from there it was only a 10 minute drive to the incredible place. It’s a little paradise on earth, really a hidden gem. The panoramic views from the poolside are stunning. The pool, surrounded by flowers and Mediterranean plants is very nice and well maintained. Bruno and Silvia are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Here you can really feel the Sicilian hospitality.
We stayed in a lovely apartment with two bedrooms and a room with a kitchenette. There is a great and modern shopping center within easy reach of the farm. The breakfast is outstanding with lots of fresh products. The almond cake is to die for. Once we had dinner with Bruno and Silvia. It was superb. The aperitif was served on the terrace, then we had a very typical Sicilian dinner with a lot of fresh products from their own farm. It was a gastronomic delight. We also enjoyed the occasional evening drink with very delicious homemade limoncello, arrancello etc.(Thanks Silvia for the recipe !). Bruno and Silvia, we thoroughly enjoyed our perfect stay at your wonderful agriturismo. Just a pity we couldn’t stay longer. But when we do return to Sicily we will come back. Highly recommended!!
