Minissale Farmhouse

L'agriturismo si trova in una posizione, strategica perché è vicino sia al mare sia alle principali località turistiche della provincia di Catania. In particolare Taormina e l'Etna. L'agriturismo è gestito da una famiglia estremamente gentile sempre attenta a personalizzare il servizio soprattutto quando ci sono dei bambini. Le camere sono ampie pulite e profondamente silenziose garantendo una privacy eccellente. La colazione è abbondante piena di frutti del podere. E la cena può essere sia a base di carne che a base di pesce. È possibile concordare il menu la mattina. Prediligono i prodotti locali e del loro orto. Tutto pulito e curato con possibilità di andare in piscina. Un esperienza immersa nel verde e nella genuinità. Lo consigliamo.

We verbleven in Taormina en zochten een lokale gelegenheid om te gaan eten, we kwamen terecht bij Minissale, hartelijk ontvangen en we kozen voor het volledige menu. Alles vers gemaakt en verbouwt op de boerderij, kregen overal uitleg bij, super vriendelijke familie. Een aanrader om lokaal voedsel uit te proberen . Echt een super aanrader!

Just came back from 7 days at Minissale Farmhouse. Do not know where to start.... What a great stay it was. Accomdation: the hotel was great. Nice and clean rooms. And swimming pool was also nice But what made stay even more special were Tino, his father and mother. They are such friendly and nice people and will help you with anything. Restaurant was also great. Great food prepared by the mother and great wines.We also made the cooking course. This was a great experience.

Etablissement récent au calme à la campagne, près de l'Etna. Le cadre est bucolique et les chambres sont confortables. L'accueil de Tino est très sympathique. Le petit déjeuner est bon. Nous n'avons pas testé le repas du soir.///////////

My husband and I took cooking classes at the Farmhouse with Tino. It was exceptional!! The highlight of our two weeks in Sicily!! We were able to pick the vegetables in the garden for the class and Tino taught us how to make pasta the correct way and the lemon meatballs and cannolis. The whole experience was such a treasure. We enjoyed meeting his family and drinking wine with them. The nicest people and Tino is the best teacher! You must do this ! Worth every penny and everlasting memories. Thanks so much Tino, mamma and papa! We will always remember you and your beautiful farmhouse. Hope to go back again.

I had difficulty writing this review and actually waited a few months before I posted. We were two couples travelling through Sicily and stayed here for four nights. There are numerous positive reviews, and I concur that the setting was lovely, the evening were tranquil, the rooms were clean, and that there was plenty of parking. But there is substantial room for improvement. Firstly, guests have no control over the setting of the air conditioning, even though we asked for a certain setting, it was rarely what we asked for. It seemed like during the day, while we were out touring, the air conditioning would be turned off, and we would return to a hot, uncomfortable room and had to request that the air be turned back on. I felt like I was a twelve year old informing a parent when I was leaving and when I planned to return. Breakfast was very basic with packaged cakes offered along with yogurt and juices. After the first morning, we got bored with the limited offerings, and purchased some eggs, requesting that they be hard boiled. Other guests received full breakfasts and I am uncertain whether they paid extra, even though our room rate included breakfast. To enter and exit, one had to request permission – I understand the need for security but perhaps a code could be provided to guests. Once, after an evening dinner, we called seven times over 15 minutes before someone responded to open the gate. Another day, a member of our group actually climbed the fence and walked to the farmhouse before the gate was opened. Lastly, we were hoping to use the pool only to be told that it was closed for maintenance. Frankly, we were ready to leave after two days and we were frustrated by the lack of control and independence.
