Agriturismo Bergi

This was the fourth of fifth time I'd visited Agriturismo Bergi. I came with a large group before and, as it's an organic honey farm, we did the honey tasting which was inspiring. This is a genuinely family run business and everyone who works there is absolutely charming. There is a lovely pool - unusual for this location - and the rooms with balconies have gorgeous views over the olive groves and the hills, and you can hear the soft clanging of sheep and goat bells in the morning. Needless to say the honey is to die for! Thank you to everyone at Bergi, I will be back...

We dropped in unannounced at lunchtime, hoping we might get a bite to eat. Agriturismo Bergi's team couldn't have been more welcoming. Within a short while we were enjoying a truly delicious meal, including blood orange juice to drink – everything grown there on the farm. Afterward we were invited to explore the estate. Beautiful, peaceful, rural surroundings, helpful and friendly staff, and nourishing food. An absolute treat!

We had known Bergi for some time, mainly through its excellent organic produce -- olive oil, amaro and jams -- sold all over Sicily. However, our night there was a bit of a disappointment. The rooms are plain and very clean, but ours was equipped with very cold LED lighting, which is very bad for sleep -- it should be avoided in bedrooms. The evening meal too was not up to standard -- my beef steak, although well cooked, was completely lacking in any beef flavour and the accompanying roast potatoes were under-cooked and soggy. The lamb dish of my friend served in a pastry case had no sauce and was almost inedible. The standard of cooking seemed well below what we expected... although the breakfast was fine. I think this place is resting on its reputation and needs to move on. Carl Gardner, London and part-time Sicilian resident.

We had a very nice and pleasant stay. Rooms were clean and of good size. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful view. Nice pool. Quiet atmosphere. All in all excellent. All three kids would like to go back some day. Very enjoyable.

We booked for 3 nights based on the information and the pictures. In reality we were negatively surprised. Our room was very hot with the airco nearly working. The room was outdated with a dirty and old bathroom. To use the pool you had to wear a cap. That is not a problem and we understand the reason why but if should have been mentioned . Now you had to buy one at the reception. After one night we all had a headache and decided not to stay for the next two nights. We booked at another place. We made a mistake to book this accommodation. If you like a really quit place far away from a nice center town and doesn’t care about a working airco or a clean bathroom then it’s a good decision to stay here. Remember to take a cap if you want to swim.

So close to ‘town’ but a million miles away… this is a tranquil oasis to relax and unwind at a country pace.
