Our stay at Colle San Mauro was too short. We had a hard time finding it. But once we did, we realized that we found El Dorado. The hotel is a total retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily urban life. Set in a secluded rural area, surrounded by vineyards, outfitted with a fine restaurant, expansive grounds and an inviting pool, this place is a true getaway. It helps that the proprietors keep a close eye on every detail of the premises, but they do so with a remarkable ability to keep the atmosphere relaxed and casual. The kitchen serves some amazing dishes of traditional Sicilian food. The wine comes from their own vineyard. The breakfast that was included with the stay was elegant and abundant--exceeding all of our expectations. This is a place to spend a few days, if you need to get away from it all..
