Enna Historic Hotels, Sicily: Enna Hotel Guide

#Lunchtime
The Sicilian cannolo is one of the most famous Italian sweets in the world. Contrary to what most people believe, these delicious ricotta-cream filled wafers have been around for a long, long time. During his time spent in Sicily as a Roman queastor, Cicero fell in love with a predecessor of the modern cannolo. He described the dessert as a tube stuffed with a sweet, milk-based filling.
According to some accounts, however, the creation of modern cannoli came as a result of the Arabs who once controlled Sicily. This satisfying sweet was likely created inside a Muslim harem in the city of Kalt El Nissa, modern-day Caltanissetta. In this harem, the women spent their time preparing this delicacy.
In fact, it may very well have been on of these women who modified a preexisting Arab dessert made with ricotta, almonds and honey to fit Cicero’s description. In doing so, she created what is now known throughout the world as Sicilian cannoli.

"I loved the location in the old town and the really nice Baby Bar for coffee in the morning. It was lovely to have air conditioning although we only used one and then only for a couple of hours at night. It is quiet. If I may complain a little, the beds were too hard for me and I find the kitchenette to me unhelpful. No coffee machine but Bar Baby served well. The living/dining area is cramped and for three adults iit was a bit squeezed. Not a problem though and offset by the great location....

"We only stayed one night but they were extremely welcoming and kind. It’s an unusual property with a family history, our room was comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! "

"The breakfast was exceptional. A large variety of fresh options, including home grown produce, was very tasty. Gluten free options were available. The ricotta omelette was superb. Greatly enjoyed the garden surroundings and the sparkling pool, including the friendly dog. The very friendly owner provided easy transport to dining options. We would highly recommend a stay at Villa Clementine."
