“Lovely farm near Syracuse”

Our room was large and comfortable. We arrived at 6pm and were asked if we would like to eat there. We ate with other guests at 8pm. The farm is organic and the food served was typically Sicilian. The owners explained what was in each dish. The meal culminated with a glass of limoncello made on the farm. It was beautiful and unlike limoncello we had sampled elsewhere. Breakfast was served outside on the patio and there was a lot of choice

“Characterful converted farmhouse”

The hotel is a short drive from Cassibile, and has lemon and orange trees around it. When we were there wafts of orange blossom scent was floating around. Our hosts were very engaging and friendly (speaking good English), supplying a lovely home prepared breakfast and recommendations on where to eat in the evening. Our room was spacious and cool with a good sized bathroom. The pool looked great, though I wasn't prepared to swim in April! Outdoors was a pleasant space to sit in after breakfast before heading off out, with birdsong from the trees and the owners dogs lying enjoying the sunshine. We drove to Syracusa and Noto, as well as several country trips and the seaside easily from La Casa Di Melo. A good place to stay.

“Agritursimo's agr Great”

La Casa di Melo is set in a beautifuly converted farm building on a fully working organic farm. While we were there the workforce were pruning the oranges below our balcony! The buildings have been superbly converted and are spotlesly clean. The pool is wonderful and after a hard days sightseeing you can cool off in it while watching the sun set over the distant hills. The evening meals are fantastic and are served outside whenever possible. They are all local Sicilian dishes using either home grown or locally sourced organic engredients. You can really believe the recipies have been developed from what grandma cooked! Every evening the owner would come round, explain the meal and was able to suggest a locally sourced wine to go with it. We felt thoroughly at home here and would strongly recommend it.
