Excellent experience! Mr Pippo and Filomena, with their family, are very friendly persons. The B&B is placed in a strategical position, to visit wonderful archaeological sites and other Sicilian beauties. Beatiful B&B with a relaxing swimming pool situated among a huge field of olive and orange trees Useful addresses by Mr.Pippo about places where you can taste good fresh fish and other sicilian plates..

First class place to stay with a comfortable room, friendly hosts, beautiful pool and views and a breakfast worth getting up for!

We visited Sicily with another couple and we included Le Foglie in our itinerary. We chose it as a point from which we could radiate each day to visit sites of interest. Le Foglie lies between Agrigento and Sciacca on a hillside in the heart of a beautiful olive grove. It is easy to find by taking the exit to Caltabellotta from either direction and driving approx 4 kilometers up the hill. You will pass a small shrine on your right and 100 meters later you will turn right and follow the signs to the hotel. Le Foglie is an agritourism hotel of excellent quality. It is spacious, airy, scrupulously clean and very comfortable. It is ran by a pair of delightful Sicilians who are extremely helpful and accommodating. They provide a varied and plentiful breakfast every day and follow up with advice for the days outing. There is a beautiful swimming pool just steps from the entrance lobby and ample parking for all the cars. Restaurants abound within a short drive from the hotel that cater for all tastes. The Mediterranean, which you can see from the main veranda, is a 4 KM drive back down the road where you will find quiet beaches and warm Mediterranean seas. Sicily abounds with ancient ruins and quaint hillside towns where you will find plenty of cafes but beware,.they virtually all shut down at 1.00 PM til 4.00 PM for the mandatory siesta. Off the main highways the roads are narrow and of dubious surface quality. In the towns and villages the streets are very narrow.

Lovely, friendly hosts. We had great conversations with them in Italian and Spanish. Wonderful breakfast. Fantastic location and awesome pool.
