Everything about this complex, created by owners Mara and Domenico, has been lovingly and carefully assembled to provide guests with an indulged, relaxing stay. The setting is a joy, with birdsong throughout the day and a feel that could be Tuscany or Provence. The staff are obliging, friendly and courteous, and complete the experience of comfort and welcome. In all honestly, after many years of travelling, and staying at hundreds of hotels, Borgo delle Pietre stands out as being among the best we've experienced. I'd award a score of eleven out of ten! 😁

No fault of Borgo delle Pietre, but the local authorities need to make an effort and fix the road leading up to the hotel. At the very least, there are potholes that need to be fixed. Given the high standard of hotel that Borgo delle Pietre offers, and the bonus to tourism, fixing this road should be regarded as a matter of priority to ensure ongoing benefits to the community from hotel visitors.

This place exceeded our expectations. We stayed 3 nights and it was the perfect place to stay mid trip. It allowed us the space to breathe and decompress from driving all over the island. We did some quick day trips from here, and we had 2 days of enjoyment the area too. We ate dinners each night, honestly the best food of our trip, we felt no reason to go into town and roll the dice when we knew the food was so good. The traditional fish soup was the most delicious meal I had on our trip. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Sicily.

Excellent breakfast. Our first room was as reserved, but very difficult to get to, and small. Host moved us to a better room, easier to walk to. Very quiet. Beautiful pool area (but no heated pool-it was cold). When the restaurant had an unscheduled closing, they called a car to drive us to a restaurant offsite, and return us home, at n/c. :)

It's an interesting drive, 2.2 km from the main road over a poorly maintained road, but we did get there. There was some kind of problem with the chef and out dinner was not good at all. Apparently a family emergency.

Very good breakfast -- we were the only guests that day and they laid out the full breakfast buffet for us. Lovely staff, particularly the owner Dominico and his wife, Mara... and Mark, a friendly half-Irish, English-speaking member of staff who we really liked (although we do speak Italian). The style and design of the place is well-thought-out with a great deal of care and love... my wife liked the pool area and there are some great touches, such as the rows of cacti in large pots and the swinging sofa under the olive trees. Highly recommended.

The 'smart' TV was quite difficult to tune... but that is all.

This is an ancient inn in the country, lovingly restored by the owners. It is surrounded by fields and olive trees (and some solar panels) and cooled by the breeze off the ocean. The charming courtyard is the heart of the stone structure, a good place for breakfast, an aperitif and conversation and I imagine dinner, too, on warm nights. Kitties sleep in the sun and don't seem to bother the birds that fill the air with their song (and even keep a nest in the reception area). The indoor dining and living room is very attractive, modern yet cozy. Behind the hotel is the inviting swimming pool. Dinners were a highlight - we enjoyed two excellent meals served by the very friendly, helpful staff, Angelo and Marc. The owners are very generous with their time and are personally interested in your enjoying their hotel. The Borgo is close to the Valley of the Temples and a number of great beaches.

I would recommend booking early. Our room was a good size and very comfortable, but the windows were right on the courtyard, so less private then others. If I had reserved earlier, we would have had more options.

The Borgo delle Pietre is a little paradise in the hills above Porto Empedocle. The perfect place if you are looking for a few days of peace and quiet. Everything is beautifully renovated with great taste and creativity. The lovely owners have created an exceptional place with a relaxing atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the various spots on the premises where you can spend time to read and relax, like the hammocks in the olive grove, the garden pool, seating areas and terraces.

I was looking to a place close enough to the Valley of Temples in Agrigento, and Borgo delle Pietre could not be more perfect. It is ideally located in an idyllic area of olive trees and vines not far from the main road which leads to the temples. The property is very new and stunning in every detail, from comfort to decoration and lighting. Breakfast is excellent, but the absolute highlight is the property restaurant where we ended up dining both nights. Chef Adriana prepared two of the best meals we had during our whole three-week stay in Sicily. To sum up, I would certainly not look further when visiting the area.

Staff, room, amenities and breakfast - all 5 stars.

Location: up the hill about a couple of miles from the main coastal road - the way is an unlit, one lane, windy path with several spots with big pot holes and gravel. It can be dicey! especially if a car is coming in the opposite direction. The location and road to and back is NOT a deal breaker - just be aware! The good news is that it’s only a 10 min drive to Turkish Steps/beaches and about 30 min drive to Valley of Temples.

Place of history combined with a tasteful modern design and comfort. The owners take you in and spoil you. Peaceful and welcoming to guests, but also stray cats and dogs, and cheerful swallows. Breakfast is varied, fresh, local. Evening menu varies and is very tasty.

Getting there from the main road is not for the faint-hearted; steep, narrow, winding and damaged path.

No words could describe how wonderful this place is! It's just a true jewel and one of the best places we have stayed at. From extremely friendly and helpful staff, through a beautifully designed and renovated historical buildings to the most delicious dinner we had in Sicily. It is a family business and you can really feel the level of attention to details they have to make their guests' stay unforgettable. Located in a calm rural area, surrounded by an olive grove. A very convenient location to explore the coast and the Valley of the Temples. A car is needed and the road to the property may be a bit challenging but it is really wort it. Do not hesitate to book a dinner (vegetarian option available and a good selection of local wines) and, if only the weater is good, enjoy it outside. It's magical. The chef Adriana is a star! I am also very grateful for such a great dining experience. I am allergic to some of the most popular products in the local cuisine and they we able to accommodate it and made me feel very safe. Huge thank you to the amazing staff and above all to Mara and Domenico who created such a wonderful place and were the best hosts!
