Overpriced and dissatisfied stay
I booked this as a treat being more expensive than other nights booked for my Sicily tour. The farm house is easy to find and has great views from up high in the mountains. The farm house itself is very basic and we were disappointed with the pool. The photo makes it look impressive. The view is amazing, however the pool is a waist high pool unsuitable for swimming and extremely small. The main concern was the lack of air conditioning. We were unable to open the windows at night due to the mosquitoes however it was far too hot (it was only June - cannot imagine July and Aug at this farm) to sleep with them closed. We were both kept awake a large portion of the night being attacked by mosquitoes and were covered in bites in the morning. After the worst night sleep of the stay we were shocked on check out of the high prices of the dinner. With little English spoken by the hosts we were surprised at the over priced cost of the locally sourced food, basic but tasty. Leaving the hotel after one night we liked the view and calm nature of the place but were glad to move on and tried to forget about an expensive night for little sleep and large covering of bites. We won't be returning.
