Relais Briuccia e Ristorante Capitolo Primo

Damiano and Adriana are the perfect hosts at this gem of a Hotel. The restaurant is five star Michelin. And Damiano is award-winning. So save your appetite for at least one of his dinners. Our hosts were charming and engaged, and very, very helpful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a real dining experience. Be sure to take your time. The hotel itself allows you to be close to the secluded parks and beaches, and a relatively short drive to the valley of temples, nearby to Agrigento without having to deal with the crowds and parking. The neighborhood is “under developed“, and the city is not particularly tourist-oriented, but that adds to its authenticity.

What a gem of a place. Quirky, very friendly, atmosphere wonderful. The food wow the food is just terrific. My wife cannot eat wheat or fish, Damio just changed the menu around what she could eat. Every dish was stunning. An excellent wine cellar as well. Breakfast was fantastic too. Montallegro is not a tourist town. The locals are friendly and it hosts several good cafes and pizzerias. Close by are wonderful archeological sites and lovely beaches. Damio and Adrianna are just the perfect hosts too.

After a long day visiting the SW coast and Segesta, this was a terrific find on our journey. Welcoming staff, comfortable, spacious room and delicious dinner - and breakfast in the morning - all superb. Old world charm and hospitality with modern touches. A little tricky to find, but well worth it!
