Absolute joy. Pleasant oasis in the middle of Agrigento region. 15 min from the Valley of the Temples and 30 min from the Scala dei Turchi. Former summer villa of local Bishop now an organic farm to table high end boutique hotel. Home made soap, shampoo, pasta, bread, olive oil and very comfortable beds with all cotton and linen bedding! Beautiful gardens and pool with peacocks wandering around. We stayed 2 nights and eat at the hotel every night. Reasonable prices and fresh home cooked meals. Refreshing mountain breezes keep the grounds cool at night in July!

This place is a gem! The main house is very cozy and has interesting artwork and furnishings. The food is terrific and Magdalena, the cook, is a delightful character. You can cook with her which is lots of fun. The pool is very nice and large. The staff is also super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend!

Loved the villa type atmosphere with a very home-y staff. Very family oriented and unique. B, L & D meals were all prepared by a family of cooks (“the Mamas”) and truly fabulous tasting. Only spent 1 day there and wish we spent 2-3 days. A/C could have been colder as we were there during a 93F temps with very high humidity. But they have a pool in the back and a plunge pool in front. Great for a cigar outside at night. Would definitely go back and highly recommend this warm & friendly resort.

We only had one night here, but it was fantastic! The room was very nice, and we loved seeing the farm on the property, especially the peacocks! We stopped here between Palermo and Taoromina. Highly recommend this hotel when visiting Agrigento to see Valley of the Temples.

This was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. The accomodation is outstanding and the hospitality is wonderful. We did the lunch cooking class and it was welcoming, fun and full of ideas we can try at home. We didn’t leave the property for our entire 3 nights as we wanted to embrace the time we had there.

Property is next to an industrial estate, which was not readily apparent from the literature. Hosts were most amiable and welcoming.

Feels like home

We enjoyed our stay at Fontes Episcopi very much. It was our warmest welcome in Sicily and also the most personal experience - you feel like coming home. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the interior design is very tasteful and the food was done with love and fresh ingredients. We stayed in the „Olive Room“ and there was nothing to complain about.

I felt in love with this place. When we arrived we were greeted by their friendly staff, the place is impeccable and the food and wine are to die for. We had dinner at night watching the sunset and it was one of the best meals that I have ever had. They also gave us an organic shampoo upon arrival, made by the owner, who is a pharmacist, and it was one of the best that I have ever tried. I just regretted not having booked this place before to get one more night there.

En af mine bedste hoteloplevelser

Jeg havde et helt fantastisk ophold på fontes episcopi og kan kun anbefale det til andre. Servicen er i top, personalet gør deres bedste for at man skal have det godt og får en personlig oplevelse. Selve hotellet er helt istandsat og er så gennemført. Derudover er maden rigtig lækker (både morgenmad, frokost og middag). Alt er økologisk og de dyrker mange af deres råvarer på grunden. Også et rigtig flot poolområde.

Très bel hôtel dans une oliveraie

Accueil chaleureux et raffine dans une belle maison campagne. Le lieu est charmant, la déco campagne chic et design, le jardin, la terrasse superbes. Avec un accueil plein d'attentions. C'est un établissement à recommander. Un plus : cuisine bio à partir des produits du jardin.
