SICILY FATTORIA MOSE (BARONIAL HOUSE) APRIL 30

The 45 mile drive to Fattoria Mose just outside of Agrigento took about 2 hours. Along the way this colourful field was spotted.


I didn't know what to expect regarding our accommodation. Tom had said we were staying at an organic farm which left something to ones imagination! When we arrived we were blown away! The 18th Century Baronial House and it's outbuildings perched on a hill surrounded by mature olive trees was a delight to behold. We welcomed by the Owner and given a glass of wine while Tom sorted out the accommodations. 




After settling in Tom gave us a tour of the property.































This is where Barry and I hung out



Location: 92100 Agrigento, AG, Italy

The Restaurant's Chef was Tom's cousin and we were treated to a superb classic Italian 4 course meal with generous amounts of Vino.
