    1 cup of decaf coffee was lousy but thats it. Only had 1 day.

    I did a cooking class, just me and the chef, made dinner for all guests. Great fun. Food was delicious. Breakfast also lovely. Sorry we only had 1 day. Staff was all very friendly and went out of their way to make stay excellent.

    Not much in Aragona to do or see, so you have to go a bit farther afield for restaurants and things to do. But the food is so good at the Fontes that you really don't need to go anywhere else.

    Breakfast was terrific ... so many things to choose from. Staff went over the top to accommodate our smallest request. The grounds are lovely for strolling and quiet nights for perfect sleeping. There are kittens on the grounds who are fun to watch. Olive groves are beautiful.

    Our only complaint was how uncomfortable the pillows are and there aren’t any alternatives. They’re thin and hard and hurt our necks.

    We loved our stay so much that we extended it for an extra night! The food was fantastic, the staff are wonderful and the property is very beautiful. The pool area is particularly lovely and it’s nice having peacocks and kittens wandering around. We ate a couple of lunches and dinners on site - the vegetables are from a local farm and have such incredible flavour. It was very hot during our stay and the air con struggled but the staff provided a fan that helped.

    Where do we start! The villa itself is surrounded by quiet, beautiful farm land and is exquisitely furnished. We loved lazing by the pool and wandering through the fields. The staff were friendly & took the time to get know us and the food was by far the best we ate - all made it love and high quality ingredients.

    Stayed here for 2 nights during our 2 week roadtrip and wished we stayed longer. Amazing property, beautiful spaces including reading room/library and courtyards. Staff were the best and could accommodate any request. Incredible food & wine - we stayed for dinner both nights and were blown away. Great value for $! Luxe pool vibes where you could hang all day and enjoy a couple drinks or read. Quiet, relaxing and enriching oasis. Stop looking and start booking.

    Aragona didn't have much appeal as a destination but Fontes Episcopi was an easy drive to the Valley of the Temples.

    A lovely, quiet authentic agriturismo with a great swimming pool area. We received a warm welcome from the staff who were delightful and had the chance to watch as the pasta for the evening dinner was prepared. Aperitivi were served before dinner and the meal was excellent, as was breakfast. Our room was delightful and comfortable.

    Resort Fontes Episcopi was everything we were hoping for and more. With only seven rooms, it is intimate and the staff were great. The decor is so quirky and charming, and the staff are very happy for you to wander the grounds and explore. Our afternoons were spent by the pool with a drink in hand. The breakfast each morning was delicious, and we enjoyed two amazing three-course dinners at the resort. The staff also organised us an on-site massage. You need a car to get to the resort as there is very little around, but Agrigento, the Valley of the Temples and Scala dei Turchi were only short drives away. We really hope to return one day - it was such a special stay.

    Because nothing is really perfect, there are still a few issues that should be resolved in order to approach perfection: 1) the Aircon in the room is very weak. Lucky us we were there in September and the weather was a bit cooler, because if the temperatures grow higher than 35degrees, there is no way the AC of our room would have been enough to keep to room chill enough for us. But this depends a lot on your ability to support hot temperatures. 2) even if the diner (not included in the price) was Fantastically prepared by Magdalena, we felt that one of the meal was honestly too simple for 45€pp. Simple food is amazing. But you still cannot ask 45€ if it is too simple. 3) we felt the bathroom in our room was a bit too simple for the standard of the hotel. The shower cord was short and not long enough to clean your entire body if you are tall. Apart for that, everything was perfect.

    Fontes episcopi was one of the best hotel we have ever been to. Everything is great. The chaotic but charming design of the rooms and the commons, the fantastic garden, inhabited by cats, bees and Sicilian veggies. The price we paid for the room and breakfast was right. It is a real heaven. We fell in love with Magdalena, our Sicilian chief who cooked us FANTASTIC meals every day. The entire staff was honestly one of the best hotel staff we have ever had in Europe. The pool and its surroundings was a real plus.

    there’s just a couple of tiny things that can be improved but don’t really impact the experience: the pool loungers are fixed, so you can’t adjust the height. also the quality of the toilet paper is not what you would expect in a place like this.

    Unique place to stay with attention to detail - in service as well as in decoration. The Hotel feels very personal and the food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are great. We took a cooking class with Elena which was lots of fun and seemed very authentic. we would definitely recommend this Hotel and come back any time.

    It felt like we should be in the country but the outlook is electrical wires and roads crossing the fields. It is a great place to stay, but maybe look inwards not out!

    We enjoyed the cooking course with the 'Sicilian Mumma' - although we didn't know that we were cooking for all the guests! The pool was nice and the staff helped us organise future transport etc along with some great recommendations for a guide for the Valley of the Temples and a couple of great restaurants

    Very rural location and not much to see in close vicinity of the property. Need a car and plan for 30-60min trips to key attractions like valley of temples and Turkish steps, beaches etc.

    This hotel offers a unique blend of comfort, service and "at home" feeling. The managers and staff are extremely helpful and provided great insights of things to do and places to go. Food and wine is excellent and reasonably priced with a focus on organically grown vegetables and herbs. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
