Our party had the most marvelous wine tasting and lunch as a perfect end to our vacation in Sicily. Fillipo makes the time go so fast with his interesting facts of the organic farm. I wish we could have stayed on the farm as the grounds are beautiful and so unspoiled. I was so impressed. And then to get to... More

Our stay at the Agrourismo Tarantola was a series of pleasent suprises. For starters our host Filippo had upgraded us from a room that we have booked to a larger two room apartment in which our family of three felt comfortable and just like at home. Next suprise, the mouth watering cuisine served at the Tarantola. Delicious meals served by... More

My family and I went for a visit during the afternoon before we unfortunately had to leave this beautiful area. I can not recommend it enough. The vineyards surrounding the restaurant/hotel are gorgeous. The owner, Fillipo, is one of the nicest men that I have ever met.

We ( 3) visited Tarantola in March, off season but Filippo ( very good english) was incredible. We have done many tastings but this hospitality and the wine was the best.
