“superb location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

when we stayed here in November 2011 we were the only guests for the one night we stayed there. this place is in an incredible location just 10 mins drive from PA. the setting is stunning and the rooms were very comfortable with an amazing view (we had a room with a balcony for 90 Euro inc breakfast). we also had the HUGE lunch menu which was a 6 course affair with wine and beer for 30 Euro each and all the ingredients come from what they grow and raise on their own surrounding fields and plantations. There was a small issue with flies in the restaurant. they seemed to be everywhere and impossible to control. that was our only complaint but otherwise it was really a great place to stay and we will definitely return

Room Tip: the rooms with balconies in the annex are the best and quietest rooms with great views

“Better than many hotels I've been ...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

Clean spacious room & bathroom. Daily cleaning and towel replacements. Excellent dinner and wines for reasonable price. Delicious grappa after dinner. Breakfast is good, though less quality than dinner.

Nice place to stay for visititing the Piazza Armerina region.

“Ramada Inn in the middle of Sicily”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

In my many years of traveling in Italy, I have never had a worse cup of cappuccino.

While that may sound trivial, it is a metaphor for the quality and authenticity of this place: an Italian who doesn't know how to make or serve a decent espresso does not belong in the business of representing his country.

The first indication that we might not be on our way to an authentic agriturismo was the enormous, tacky, ostentatious sign on the autostrada: 'Benvenuti a Agriturismo Gigliotto', at least 10'x15', prominently displayed on a little hill next to the autostrada, like a billboard on a US freeway.

The actual room in which we stayed was clean (despite the obvious unlaundered state of the bedspread), very spacious, and functional; but it had as much charm and personality as a Ramada Inn. In addition, there were construction workers working directly outside our patio, so we had to close our curtains to the view of the 'farm'. The capper was the 'soap' that was provided in the bathroom: a half-full container of watered-down liquid detergent of some sort, so diluted as to be useless.

The breakfast was plentiful, but neither fresh, interesting, nor even typically Sicilian. Packaged pastries, packaged store-bought cakes (still in their foil plates!), packaged yogurt, packaged cereal, canned peaches...and that sadly mediocre cappuccino.

How the ownership is getting away with promoting itself as an agriturismo is beyond me. I would neither stay here again, nor would I encourage anybody else to do so. This place is a sham. It is about as authentic as Disneyland is.

Room Tip: Stay someplace else. Any place else. If that's not possible, at least try to get a room that i...

“We Will Return and Highly Recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

It was great pleasure staying at Agriturismo Gigliotto. We enjoyed the property, the food, the wine and most of all the hospitality. The location is excellent with great views. Looking forward to also enjoying their wines once its imported to the USA.

We will definitely return on future trips to beautiful Sicily and recommend to others to stay at Agriturisom Gigiotto.

“We said we would return and did and we shall return again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

We have been totally spellbound by Gigliotto. The place is enchanting and the people who run it are among the best that one could ever hope to meet. We shall be regular visitors surely. We just cannot praise this delightful haven enough. Unlike large, luxurious hotels which give a surreal feel of a world that does not exist, Gigliotto transports you to a time when life was simpler, quieter and when simplicity was the order of the day. Add 21st century refinement to the mix and it's just perfect!
