Baglio Occhipinti
From the exterior view, it’s an absolutely classic Sicilian agricultural estate, its rambling, rough-hewn stone buildings surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Its interiors show signs of contemporary design, but never lose touch with the farmhouse’s 17th-century origins. Entirely absent are hotel-style diversions like televisions and minibars; the comforts that remain are first-rate, but they’re the comforts of a country home, not a typical hotel.
And the cuisine, naturally, is central to Baglio Occhipinti’s appeal — agri-tourism isn’t just about watching the plants grow, but sampling their fruits as well. Breakfast features local eggs and baked goods as well as fruit from the estate’s trees; lunch can be arranged on site or as a picnic; dinner, reserved ahead of time, is a six-course feast. An aperitif by the poolside or on the terrace is a highlight of the day, and the wine list draws from Occhipinti’s production as well as other makers from Sicily and the rest of Italy.

Accommodation is really exceptional and the staff is amazing. Breakfast is awesome but the set menu for dinner wasn’t at the same level and was very disappointing and expensive.
Traveling through Sicily, we stayed at 6 different locations and this was our favorite — and definitely one of our top favorites of all time. The property is elegantly rustic and sumptuous in its simplicity. The level of personalized attention and thoughtful details is truly exceptional. Breakfast is magical. This is a special place. We’re grateful for the experience. We also want to thank Rebecca, Elisa, Waiita, Frederico, and of course Fausta, for making our stay so special.
Everything and everyone. We took a cooking class with the chef, which was so fun. The food was amazing and the room so cozy and comfortable. Would recommend again and again!
