Location is for those who want to be far from civilization - long climb up partly unpaved hairpin turn drive. Pleasant surroundings once there, but for anyone looking for comfort, this is not the place. Sparse furnishings, not a shelf, hook or soap dish in bathroom. Light too dim to read & TV reception fuzzy. The one unexpected "luxury" was extra pillows. Did not have dinner there, so can't speak for food, but breakfast somewhat disappointing - this is an agroturismo hotel supposed to feature local products, which seem to be primarily citrus trees, pecans and olives & we were hoping for fresh fruit or juice. What we got was coffee, a small serving of toast, cookies and chocolate filled croissants - the latter homemade, but not appealing (to us at least) at 8 AM. However, the people who run the place were very nice & the price was reasonable for Sicily, so if comfort is not important & you don't mind being a good distance from the nearest tourist attractions, Monte Alto might be the place for you.
