Welcome to Sicily and the Valley of the Temples. Welcome to B&B Tra I Frutti, a typical sicilian country house with swimming pool, in a area that lies between the hills and the sea, set amid olive trees, citrus groves and vineyards, a unique place where you can relish the fragrance of almond flowers. We welcome you amid the fruit and to the countryside, where the weary traveller can rest and unwind after a sunlit day spent discovering beaches, hamlets perched beneath imposing towers, timeworn churches, winding country roads and mountain pathways. You may choose to spend your days in our recently-built country villa or in the old, refurbished country house with its stone walls. There is a choice of five rooms and you are free to select one which best suits your personal taste in accordance with their colour, fragrance, and your favourite fruit. All five rooms have own private bathroom and are equipped with television and air-conditioning. Breakfast at B&B Tra I frutti reflects the variety of ingredients available to satisfy the most demanding of tastes. The structure has a parking area for guests. We speak English, French and Spanish.
We look forward to meeting you
