Masseria Fortificata Lo Zafferaneto

La struttura, il panorama, le piante

I letti cigolanti, il servizio di bar, la colazione in cui portano tutto con il rischio che molte cose rimangano avanzate e quindi buttate. Sarebbe meglio chiedere prima agli ospiti cosa gradiscono.

Very nice property with excellent food! Very beautiful propery, clean, large rooms and great place to hang out during the day (pool + area for drinks). Also the breakfast is one of the better ones we had during our stay on the island.

Its a bit in the middle of nowhere. You can really relax here but if you want to visit cities during the day, its not the ideal location.

stunning place , stunning owners, food - Michelin should be there for dinner, absolutely amazing food and the wine :)

Staff were friendly and enthusiastic but did not speak English as advertised. The main host was flamboyant and warm with the guests but was noticeably cold and uninterested in us due to the language barrier. Breakfast was excellent any varied each day. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the evening menu which did not alter over the 3 night stay. Pool area was a bit underloved and there were not enough loungers for the number of guests. Pool was cold and somehow about 4-5 degrees colder than the sea!

Hard beds were a feature of our trip around Sicily but these had so little give that I would have been significantly more comfortable sleeping in the car or on one of the pool loungers. Whilst the accommodation was rustic and felt authentic to that there was little care in the rooms with arrival gifts, the shower screens had both come off their runners and had to be caught as they fell off on the first time of use. Wooden floor boards were sometimes uneven and there were lots and lots of protruding nails! Beautiful location and a sense of a authentic life in the Sicilian hills. Glimpses of great potential but unfulfilled promise.
