Fontes Episcopi
Fontes Episcopi is a country mansion full of art and warm Sicilian hospitality. It once belonged to a local bishop—hence the name—but has been transformed by its owners into the kind of easy, informal place where guests are put instantly at their ease, as if they were old family friends. The food is hearty and fantastic, most of it grown on their organic farm, and is created in a vibrant, cozy family kitchen with wood-burning oven—and it is here that guests can have cooking lessons with the indominable chef, Maddalena. Accommodation is simple and comfortable, and there is a lovely garden and swimming pool.
