I recently returned from Sicily. Visiting this herb farm was a highlight, especially with Enrico as truly entertaining and knowledgeable as he is and Rita as delightful a person and excellent cook as she is. The farm is a work in progress, one which they have great plans to keep expanding, on its way to becoming a destination place to stay, while enjoying the view and the aromatic herbs. Well worth visiting. Grazie, Enrico and Rita

We loved our visit to Mulino ad Acqua. Each unique space gives you a great insight into the history of the area and how people lived there. Seeing the mill in action and operated the latest in many generations of millers who have worked there is really fascinating.

A Rutta ri Ron Carmelu

Reviewed By shionapenrake - London, United Kingdom

My dad's girlfriend is Italian and she booked the visit and translated for the owner. I was amazed that the grotto kept a steady temperature for winter and for summer so the grotto was surprisingly warm and cosy despite the chilly winter wind outside. The owner gave us a thorough tour of the place and showed us all kinds of interesting things, from the photos of the grotto families, to the inventive toys that the children used to play, to his son's beautiful artwork that was up for sale. The owner was especially excited talking to us as I was filming with my DSLR and he was eager to have a video of his grotto aiming for an English audience. I was promised to send him a link when I finish it so wish me luck on it!

Adventurerooms Escape Room

An exciting "escape the room" game for groups of 2-14 persons. You are closed in a mysterious room and you have 60 minutes to escape, searching for clues, solving puzzles, finding keys and using strange objects. Only 20-30% of the teams have escaped so far. Will you?

I an visiting Catania for a few weeks and my friend suggested this as my first ever Escape Room experience. I have never been more excited! Location is great and our host, Davide, was impeccable. This was an excellent choice for a first timer, as everything was explained perfectly. Challenging and exciting, we won with just 5 seconds remaining! Definitely would suggest everyone to try and enjoy their time!

The owner is an excellent story teller about the original prince and his family, bringing the history of this well-maintained palazzo to life. It was very interesting.
