What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The stone facade of the exterior sneaks indoors too, and it serves as the perfect design complement to the exposed wooden beams and chandeliers.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The white marl cliffs of Scala dei Turchi sit just down the hill, with Agrigento's Greek temples a short drive away.
The rooms
Rooms occupy the former stables, with chalky limestone walls, timber beams, and views stretching past olive groves to the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits beside an ancient stone wall, with sun loungers looking across the rolling countryside.
At the table
Morning pastry buffets give way to traditional Sicilian dinners, served among arched mirrors and decorative ceramic amphorae.
How it began
The estate was part of the nineteenth-century Feudo di Fauma, producing wine, olive oil, and honey for the baronial Agnello family.
