Olive Grove & Eco-Elegant Retreat

Hidden among almond trees and centuries-old olive groves near Agrigento, Terre di Zaccanello began as a working farm, deeply rooted in Sicily’s agricultural soul. The family that has cultivated this land for generations has reimagined it as a contemporary rural haven, where sustainability, heritage, and refined simplicity come together. The original farmhouse has been respectfully restored using natural materials, while modern lines and thoughtful touches reflect a new vision of hospitality, one that listens to the land.

This is not just a place to stay, but a place to breathe deeply and reconnect, with nature, with rhythm, with silence.

What Makes It Special: Earth, Light, and Essential Luxury

Terre di Zaccanello offers a rare kind of luxury, one that values space, peace, and presence. The rooms are minimalist yet warm, with natural wood, raw textiles, and wide windows framing olive trees and open sky. Every detail is intentional: organic soaps, handwoven rugs, and soft lighting that changes with the sun.

Mornings begin with homemade pastries, fresh fruit, and olive oil from the estate itself. Days drift easily, from walks through the groves to resting by the natural pool, shaded by carob and almond trees. At sunset, guests gather for tastings of the estate’s oils and wines, each one telling a quiet story of Sicilian soil.

Discover the Authentic Soul of Inland Sicily

Located near Casteltermini and within reach of the Valley of the Temples, Terre di Zaccanello is an ideal base for exploring western Sicily’s wilder, lesser-known landscapes. A short drive brings you to Agrigento’s ancient ruins, glowing gold at dusk, or the white cliff of Scala dei Turchi, sculpted by sea and wind.

Wander the nearby hilltop villages of Sant’Angelo Muxaro and Cammarata, where time seems to slow and life plays out in tiny piazzas. Visit a local shepherd’s farm to see how ricotta is made, or follow the scent of bread baking in stone ovens hidden down unmarked roads.
