I am very surprised to read all the positive reviews about this place, because our experience was clearly different. I agree with the fact that the location is gorgeous, and that the breakfast is rich, but the rest is very much lacking. First of all there is nothing "ancient" about the cascina, it is a modern structure, done with no... More

This was a really nice stay for us. I liked the breakfast and the rooms. The family that runs it makes a great effort to make you feel at home. The view is just brethtaking and reading books on the huge terrasse, will be a great way to spend your day. All thumbs up for this hotel.

The most spectacular views, delicious breakfast, the warmest of welcomes, very reasonable prices and a charming and beautiful hostess. What more could you ask for to enhance the pleasure of a visit to this gorgeous island? My wife and I simply can't wait to return.

We stayed here for three nights in October, two filled with stars and the third with thunder. Despite the reluctant retreat of summer, it was still plenty warm enough to swim 2 days out of 3, and Antica Cascina made a wonderful base to explore this fascinatingly diverse area of Sicily. The view over the Golfo was breath-taking in scale,... More

There is an obvious trade off here. the road is steep and rough and winding and the village not easily accessible. However........the views are most definitely worth it and I scaled the heights pushing a bike! I arrived late-ish and as I could not face going down into the village and back up again Maria Giovanna set a table on... More

We stayed at the B&B in August for 6 days and had a wonderful time. The place made our stay in Sicily perfect. The most amazing is the view, having such view when you wake up in the morning is beyond words. The breakfast is fantastic, better than the ones we had in 4 star hotels. The rooms are very... More

My husband and I stayed at Antica for two nights in mid-June 2012. It was the most perfect start to our honeymoon in Sicily. We arrived late at night, and although the hotel is a bit hard to find, we had no problem with the help of our GPS and signs posted near Scopello. Many reviews say how steep the... More

We stayed at the b and b for 2 nights in July and the owner and staff were more than helpful and accomodating. It has lovely views over the bay, a fantastic patio area for dining on the side of the mountain and breakfast is fruit and fresh pastries and coffee. As we did not have a car, we found... More

Lets get the negatives out of the way first - there were but two. 1. The road up from the village is like a dry river bed. It is extremely rough, about half a mile long, narrow, bendy and steep. Fortunately, it was little used during our stay and we didn't meet other traffic - if we had done it... More
