룰리베토(L'Uliveto)

A perfect traditional, family run farmhouse in the picturesque mountainous Messina region of Northern Sicily. A steep road to the entrance , but what a reward! Quiet and peaceful with beautiful views - a balcony is a must. Typical traditional bedrooms with wooden shutters at the windows, air-conditioning, fridge, and ensuite shower room. No tea or coffee facities in the room, but these weren't really missed. A lovely swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds in a perfect setting. Ample traditional Sicilian food, mainly sourced from the farm and homemade. Breakfast included, and the option of a three course evening dinner with a carafe of wine for a reasonable €25 per head. Exceptionally warm, kind, and caring host family. Thank you! 😊

We only spent the night but absolutely loved this Bed and Breakfast. Rubina and Giacomo were wonderful hosts. They work very hard, their food is very fresh, everything grown on the property. The views from the balcony were stunning. The walls are very thin, so you can hear your neighbors, but it was fine. I would return in a heartbeat.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. If you want peace, tranquility, relaxation and the best homemade cooking then this for you. The location is spectacular. The pool is lovely and plenty of sun beds. You can get a train into Palermo from Messina which is 10 mins away in a car. The owners literally cannot do enough for you. I felt like one of the family and would highly recommend staying here if visiting Sicily.

First some expectations management. Th rooms are basis but nice and clean. It’s not 5 star hotel, Wi-Fi slow. However, there is a reason why I have come back many times over the last 10 years with my family, girlfriend and son and also with my parents. The host couple are the warmest people you can imagine. The food is very good and you try real local food. The pool area is great and never crowded, perhaps in august when Italians are on holiday, i don’t know. You feel welcome, it’s very relaxed, just great really. If you can live with a basis room and slow Wi-Fi. I will come back again for sure!

This place is just beyond fantastic. We visited for three nights with our two young children and cannot recommend this place more! It’s a farm where they grow everything themselves which is turned into 10 course Italian dinner for the guests. There are hens and chickens for the kids to see. A spectacular pool. The owners are so friendly and nice. We would definitely go back!

Giacamo and Cherubina are the best hosts. The room was pristine - even with such high ceilings not a cobweb in sight! The balcony had the best views, and with ensuite and air conditioning too - I couldn't believe the price. However, the food is what you will enjoy the most - I cannot describe how good it is. The home made wine, limoncello, the freshly baked cake at breakfast, the unbelievable dinners - you read other reviews on here about how good the food is but they undersell it - phenomenal. The location is great - 5 mins drive to Santo Stefano, and effectively 1 motorway to Palermo (100 minutes away). Cannot recommend enough - grazie mille!

A lovely place to stay in Sicily, just in the hills a little, not far from the coast. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Very good food. Quiet surroundings.

Stayed here more than once, the place is amazing. Wonderful location and agriturismo but what makes it special is the hosts! You are treated like family, genuine and delicious food made with love. Cannot fault anything here, even if visiting places that are a bit far we prefer to stay here and make the long drives. personally one of the best if not the best agriturismo in sicily.

Our first Agro tourism experience and we loved it. Stayed 4 nights. The hosts are sweet, geneous,warm and friendy. Jacoumo's wife cooks wonderful ( home made pasta and samples of many products they grow).We miss them!! The view from the veranda is amazing. During the days we wonder around to the west and east of the North coast and visited the Ceramic shops in St Stephano. The access is very convinient with bridges and tunnels. Only the last 200 meters are challenging.
