We arrived around 9pm, in the dark, after a LONG day of travel... the Abbey is about a half hour drive from Contessa Entellina, and was a VERY welcome site. Its huge, and does not have a front desk, so Marcella, the caretaker greeted us outside. She was beyond welcoming and made sure we were comfortable, and had everything we needed, despite a few special requests. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The room was spacious, clean, and the shower hot. The morning was magical with a view of the courtyard, and we made wonderful new friends during breakfast. A special highlight was the surrounding countryside in the morning, full of birdsongs and beautiful views. A must stay for an authentic "go back in time" visit to central Sicily. An unforgettable visit, our only regret was we didn't stay longer, we can't wait to go back.
