Agriturismo Monte Alto

We came back after a few years and that view from up there is still spectacular. The villas are welcoming and have what you need, including a pod coffee machine and sugar, kettle, little fridge, drying rack, and outdoor deckchairs with tables on the terrace. Some villas also have a kitchen and equipment for grilling outside. We’ll be back!

The view is stunning, and the countryside setting has a beauty that makes up for a lot. It’s a lovely secluded spot in the mountains above Patti, surrounded by woods and nature. From the gate, there’s a 1 km uphill dirt road to the main road, so it suits people who want a stay away from the fuss. The place has seen better days, though, and the fixtures feel like they’re from the last century. The room isn’t insulated from outside, so we found insects and millipedes inside. In room 1, the shower tap was broken and the water came out either cold or boiling hot, wasting quite a lot of water.

The staff were incredibly kind, and the food was excellent. It’s a farmhouse surrounded by greenery with a spectacular view. Our room was spacious and welcoming, though a bit dated. The bathroom was dated too, and not having a shower was inconvenient. Highly recommended!

I love old-fashioned rural places, and this one was lovely. Mr. Giuseppe and Mr. Pisano made our stay pleasant with their courtesy and professionalism, and all the staff were very kind. The food was excellent, though the first course was a little smaller than it was a few years ago.
