Dining
Locanda Gulfi
In an isolated but well‑marked location that doesn’t escape the notice of oil and wine enthusiasts, Locanda Gulfi produces both, as you can tell from the view of the wine cellar visible from the dining room. The cuisine offers revisited Sicilian dishes, with the possibility of overnight accommodation and, naturally, tastings of the estate’s products, accompanied by dedicated menus or simple snacks specially designed for the occasion.
