My stay at this beautiful countryside villa was absolutely delightful! The stunning gardens and the serene atmosphere made it a perfect getaway. The food was a standout feature, especially the breakfast, but the dinner from a visiting chef was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it offered great value for money and a unique experience, especially with the hands-on cooking classes available.

My stay at Fontes Episcopi was absolutely unforgettable! The blend of serene surroundings and delicious dining truly made it a remarkable experience. The staff treated us like family, which enhanced our stay even more. The only downside was that while the ambiance was wonderfully relaxing, the small town of Aragona didn't offer a lot to explore without driving. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Sicily!
