We wound our way through the golden fields of wheat and the hillsides of olives to the home of Silvia and Bruno. Coffee and cake to welcome us and the fabulous pool for our teenage kids. Gorgeous views from the rooms and wonderful home-grown and home-cooked food. We had long chats with Silvia about her farm and the oil and wheat she produces and spent an evening practising our dance steps on the huge patio! It was simple, unpretentious and natural......

We had a fabulous four night visit to this beautiful farm. Silvia is a gracious hostess and a wonderful cook. We suggest staying multiple nights and using the location as a center point for excursions to Agrigento (Valley of the Temples), Scala de Turchi, Villa Romana de Casale, Enna, Morgantina, etc. Finding the farm is best done during daylight hours. The farm is great for kids as there is a lovely pool and lots to explore.
We stayed three nights here and just loved it. Silvia is so friendly and dinners we ate were delicious- many based on Palermo recipes from her grandmother. The cats and dog are friendly too! We watched the almonds being harvested and tasted the delicious olive oil. We agree with all the positive reviews!
This was a surprise holiday and certainly not disappointing - wonderful location. Our stay with Silvia and Bruno was a welcome retreat and they couldn't have done more for us. They became instant friends and gathered us into the realms of their family and friends. Typical Sicilian meals were delicious and it was a delight to eat communally with them and whichever guests were staying. Highly recommended.
What to say about the Sillitti farm?!?! My wife and I were in Sicily for 3 weeks and we can honestly say that the two nights we spent at this farm were the most memorable, beautiful, delicious nights we had!!! Silvia and Bruno are wonderful! Sitting at the dinner table talking and eating felt like we were with family. Silvia's cooking was incredible!!!!!!! It was some of the best, if not THE best, food we had during our entire trip. Between relaxing by the pool, eating that food, and talking with Silvia, Bruno, and the other lovely guests we met, it was a truly unforgettable experience.
My mother and I had the pleasure of staying at Azienda Agricola Silvia Sillitti as we traveled between Agrigento and Piazza Armerina. The plain, simply furnished rooms included lovely touches such as a fresh cut rose and an elegant dresser. Silvia Sillitti is most gracious, and as a treat for ourselves we ate dinner there. (Dinner is an additional fee.) The multi-course meal was the definition of abundance and delicious - especially the squash/pumpkin dish. The wifi was spotty, and I wish I had brought my swimsuit. The set-up seems perfect for family groups where playing in the pool could be combined with day trips. (The sites we were interested in were over an hour away. ) I just finished roasting the organic almonds grown there, having soaked the nuts beforehand in salted water as Silvia Sillitti suggested.
