A girlfriend and I decided we wanted to stay in the Sicilian countryside for a long weekend. An organic farm sounded appealing thus we booked without knowing much more. Our stay far exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed by the owners like we were friends or family, not only did they invite us to eat breakfasts and dinners with them (in their big Sicilian country kitchen – may I add!) but were also asked to join them at their friends' lunch. Hence we got an insight into the Sicilian life and culture of food, food and food.

The farm is located not far away from the beach; there are also a few different small towns adjacent to the farm where there is an array of restaurants. I recommend getting a car if you are staying here though as I don’t think public transport is that great.

Although this trip only lasted for 4 days I could go on forever writing about it as we experienced so much. But I will stop here. I very much recommend this place for its friendliness... more
