Terre di Himera

Terre di Himera is a place I feel lucky to have found. Maria and Fabrizio are wonderful hosts, as are their pets! The hiking surrounding their house is perfect, and they are a short drive to the beach and wonderful restaurants. I will miss being a guest at their house, and I very much hope to return. I will be recommending Terre di Himera to many.

My stay at Hotel Terre di Himera was absolutely delightful. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. I spent hours enjoying the stunning terrace, soaking in the peaceful surroundings, and relaxing in the comfy chairs just outside my room. The atmosphere was so serene, it truly felt like a home away from home. The breakfast was a real highlight—delicious, fresh, and served with a smile. I also can’t say enough about the hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and ensured that every part of my stay was seamless. I only wish I could have stayed longer to fully enjoy the beauty of the hotel and its surroundings.

My wife and I travelled here for our honeymoon and we loved our time at Terre Di Himera. Maria and Fabrizio were wonderful hosts, the breakfast was outstanding and the additional meals we paid for were delicious. Especially the light meal (which was an incredible tuna pasta on this occasion). You definitely need a car but it is a perfect base to explore nearby towns such as Cefula. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful three night stay at Terre di Himera. Maria and Fabrizio made us feel at home. There were many welcoming touches, like fresh lavender in the room and a glass of wine upon arrival. The bathroom is stocked with Maria’s handmade shampoo and shower gel. Each morning’s sumptuous breakfast featured local foods, including Fabrizio’s homemade bread and olive oil from the property. The breakfast items were different each day instead of being a repetition of the previous day’s meal. We also enjoyed the delicious light dinner on two of the three nights. The food and accommodations are all fitting with a high-end agriturismo, yet prices were affordable.

The property is in a beautiful setting - very peaceful. Unfortunately, because it is a working farm, there were a lot of mosquitoes - perhaps citronella candles would help. The property is located up a dark (at night) winding road. If you are looking for a quiet, calm, relaxing stay, this is the place. If you plan to leave the property every day, it would not be a good choice. Can’t say enough of how wonderful Maria and Fabrizio are - very helpful with directions. All of the food served is locally sourced either from the farm, or from another area in the Region. They make their own olive oil, soap, shampoo and body gel.
