Hotel description Gigliotto Agriturismo
The farmhouse, a former 14th century monastery, surrounds a Sicilian courtyard and offers 26 comfortable rooms and a dining room, as a place of magical union of typical fragrances and flavours of island cuisine made from organic products, and Nero d' Avola wine. The farmhouse is a family-run establishment, founded in 1990, led by Elio Savoca. He has restructured the existing buildings, improved the grounds and planted Nero d'Avola grapes, respecting a rigorous programme of low environmental impact. He has also invested by enlarging the surface of the high-quality grape land to build the new winery. The farmhouse itself has a lobby area with safe, TV lounge, restaurant, dining and breakfast rooms, and conference facilities. Guests may also make use of the laundry service and the car park.
