Terre di Himera is a with impeccable taste renovated cottage home, the interior is amazing, the garden is lovely. The very best of the place is the hosting couple, who care very nice for their guests. If possible, one should try to get the Sicilian dinner, that is served two times a week, it´s simply breathtaking! The local products, that are also available, like extraordinarily fine cosmetic, olive oil and honey are perfect take-aways. we were very happy in Himera, and would come back anytime!

In comparison with similar offers in Sicily Terre di Himera seems to be slightly overpaid at first sight. But the warmth of the hosts and the outstanding food offer compensates that very well...

Hosts are incredible! If you want a truly traditional Sicilian meal, stay for their full dinners and light dinners. Everything they cook with is truly local! Location is wonderful. Our favourite was walking along the gravel road and meeting all the other small farmers along their road. Skip touristy cefalu and ask host Maria for her recommendations on day trips. She knows what she is talking about! We had an amazing day trip following her recommendations to petrolia soprana. Rooms are gorgeous and clean! They even put fresh jasmine flowers on your bed + linens. There is not a single detail missing. When you step outside your room you are surrounded by olives, figs, prickly pears and the most aromatic herb garden.

Breakfast was amazing - over the top. Everything locally sourced. Maria's baked breakfast cakes were excellent. Fresh fruit, capicola, fresh mozzarella, fig cookies, fruit tarts, homemade marmalades, croissants - too much! Maria and Fabrizio were wonderful hosts. They enjoyed spending time with us, chatting about their lives and how they built the business. They genuinely wanted to ensure that all of our needs were being met and it was way more than we anticipated. They serve full dinners two nights each week and light dinners the rest of the week except on Mondays when they take an evening off. The "light" dinner included white wine, swordfish pasta with eggplant, pistachio gelato cake and an appetizer. Everything was great and authentic. We would like to return and will on our next trip to Sicily. Hidden gem just a short drive to/from Cefalu. A welcome respite from the city. Their olive oil is the best!

Penning this when I’m not even done with my stay yet, so overwhelmed by the wholesomeness at the place. At dinner right now and the smell of firewood is comforting and the bread was made lovingly from scratch (and freshly made croissants the next morning). Maria and Fabrizo is the pretty much the dream team; passionate about Scillian produce (as fresh as it gets) and cooking. Also amazing choice of tunes to pair with the dinner (waltz of flowers is playing in the background). Honoured to be their first guests of the season and I’m crying that it’s over. many other great things but I shan’t ruin the surprise

Beautiful agriturismo located in the hills near Cefalu. Property is impeccable with a wide variety of fruit trees and other vegetation. Host is very accommodating and promotes locally produced fresh produce.

We were told our only option was a simple dinner (spaghetti) and the full tasting menu experience is only available on certain evenings. We were not aware of this until a few days before arrival which was a shame. Dinner was still very good. Breakfast was a little limited compared to other locations we stayed at.

We loved getting out of the busy city and relax at Terre Di Himera for a night . We had previously been in Palermo and on our way to Cefalù we stopped in for a night on our way. If you have a car you could locate yourself here and travel to Celfalu for day trips , if you didn’t mind the travel. We had a beautiful dinner prepared for us and the breakfast was also very good . It was also nice to try their olive oil . We spent our afternoon reading on the terrace in the sun , followed by wine and dinner . We stayed only 1 night.

Nothing we didn’t like it was all great , however the location is isolated so best to organise transportation first if you do not have a car . We had a Local taxi from the train station to the property however it is 50 Euros for a 10 min taxi .

Dramatic setting in rural Sicily with the Madonie mountain range to the east, sea to the north and giant rock, Monte San Calògero, to the west. The natural state of the location is serene, the gardens, exquisite, and the thoughtful hosts have provided several outdoor spaces to enjoy nature and the views. Very quiet. Maria and Fabrizio, make everyone feel welcome, like family. The meals they prepare are magical, made from food grown on their property and from local food artisans.

Plumbing might benefit from updating.

Slow time on a human scale. There is no artifice of creating an experience that is just-so or contrived to be elaborately perfect. Simple things done very well for the good of them being done that way. Excellent food, room and conversation. Relax and run with your stay, you are with people not staff. Such is life, as it is and as it can be.

Beautiful place, wonderful hosts, situated right between Cefalu and Palermo - we stayed two nights and had a lovely experience! Really warm welcome on arrival with snacks and drinks, and really enjoyed the breakfast. The full dinner is served on Wednesdays and Saturdays which we weren’t there for, but Maria made us a more casual meal of pasta and wine one night which was great.

Grazie mille Maria & Fabrizio ❤️ We had a fantastic stay at Terre di Himera! The accommodation is comfortable and the hospitality was top-notch. Maria and Fabrizio are extremely friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. The breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious👌🏻, with a great variety of options and excellent service. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place!
