Agriturismo Bergi

We spent a lovely 4 nights at Bergi. What made it a wonderful experience was not just the idyllic setting in the Madonie countryside but more so the lovely family and their staff that run this agriturismo so efficiently and make you feel at home. We couldn't fault anything during our stay. The extensive grounds are pristinely kept, the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean, the cooking is delicious, the staff very helpful and pleasant. Special mention goes to Giuseppe, the amiable head waiter at the restaurant - a wonderful man with the common touch who treats you like family. Make sure to order the special fettuccine cacio e pepe when you're there and enjoy the experience of Giuseppe lovingly preparing it at your table and serving it to you whilst describing in detail all the delicious ingredients that go into it - he has made it into a veritable art form which he performs with passion and the result is truly delicious! A special mention also for Pasquale, the proud owner, head of family, father and grandfather, who has built not just a wonderful azienda but also a lovely family who run this place marvellously. It was an honour talking to this very humble, wise, respectful man who is always there at dinner time savouring the atmosphere as his family and staff look after all the guests so well. We will certainly be back to this magical place!

I organised a nature tour in May for a group of English people and we stayed at Agriturismo Bergi for two nights. Everyone was bowled over by the well-kept and cared for feel of the place, the lovely gardens that you could wander around in and where you could easily find a quiet spot for reading, the swimming pool - which was a joy under the hot sun and big enough to swim lengths in, the delicious and copious breakfasts, and the lovely views of groves and mountains. The staff could not have been more helpful in the run up to the tour, and were very solicitous and charming once we arrived. One of the women cleaning the rooms even agreed to give a small party a taxi ride into town! We did a honey tasting on the first evening which was well presented and kept the whole group entertained - needless to say the honey was delicious and each type surprisingly different. I will be going back to Bergi whether I organise another tour or not - it's the perfect place for R&R and I could imagine basing myself there for a week.
