This resort is an absolute gem! The cooking class with Magdalena was an unforgettable highlight, filled with laughter and delicious Sicilian organic food. The rooms are impeccably clean, decorated with charming details, and the grounds are stunningly beautiful and tranquil. Plus, the farm-to-table dining experience was top-notch, featuring fresh ingredients sourced directly from the estate and local producers.

Dinner options need improvement.

The food at Fontes Episcopi is top-notch! Cooking with Magdalena was an absolute blast, and the farm-to-table dinners blew me away. The cozy ambiance of the main house, paired with the stunning pool, made for a perfect retreat for a couple like us.

While Aragona has a chill vibe, you might have to venture a bit for more dining options. But honestly, with food this good right at the resort, you might not even want to leave!

The cooking class was a wonderful experience that

allowed us to engage directly with the cuisine of the region. We enjoyed preparing pasta using wheat grown on-site, which added a special touch. Additionally, the staff were consistently friendly, but there were moments when service slowed during peak dining times.

The hotel is fine! The homemade breakfast was to die for, especially the unbelievable juice. The cooking class was a blast and the farm-to-table dinners were fresh and delicious! The staff treated us like family 🌿

Cooking with Magdalena was a delightful highlight!

Take advantage of the engaging cooking classes for an authentic Sicilian experience and to learn local dishes straight from the chef.

i almost thought about giving this place a nice review, but i just couldn’t. the dinner options were limited and horridly overpriced. i definitely expected a complimentary drink for my troubles, but no such luxury. also, there seem to be very few activities in the area, which is quite disappointing.

a magical garden retreat with rustic charm

beautiful estate, curated ambiance

weak air conditioning

The grounds are beautifully manicured, perfect for a relaxing stroll among the olive groves. The homemade ice cream was a delightful treat during our stay, offering a taste of local flavors. However, the dining experience fell short. the dinner menu was limited and overpriced, with average dishes that did not meet our expectations for the price point, diminishing our overall satisfaction.

We had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful region around Aragona. The cooking class was a hit with my kids, and they loved making pasta! We enjoyed biking through the stunning landscapes, creating cherished memories as a family during our two-night stay in a Deluxe Room.

My wife says that more family-friendly activities would enhance the experience.

We had an amazing time enjoying the beautiful outdoor area and indulging in delicious farm-to-table meals. The cooking class was such a hit with our family! The kids loved the animal interactions, making for unforgettable memories during our stay. Plus, the central kitchen was perfect for family meals.

My wife says that the hotel could offer more family-friendly activities.

We had such a fun time making Sicilian dishes during a cooking class, and the homemade breakfasts were out of this world. We loved lounging by the lovely pool and soaking up the sun on the terrace. The only downside was the limited dinner options, but the overall experience was so enjoyable! 🍽️

enjoyable stay with minor drawbacks

The estate is truly beautiful, offering a serene environment with amazing mountain views. The staff exceeded our expectations by being friendly, engaging, and taking the time to connect, which made us feel special. We especially appreciated the option to enjoy meals made from locally-sourced ingredients, which added a unique touch to our dining experience. The pool area was a perfect spot to relax with sunbeds and fresh towels provided.

The overall cost can add up quickly with extra charges for meals and activities.
