Deep in the Sicilian countryside near Agrigento, this restored 19th-century mansion began life as a baron's gift to his son - a reluctant socialite who went on to become a much-loved bishop. Today it's a gentle eco-retreat wrapped around a sun-warmed courtyard, the pace slowed to match the fields around it. The old farmhouse kitchen is now the heart of the place: you can cook alongside the team using vegetables pulled from the garden that morning. Days drift between treatments in the converted stables, long Sicilian lunches and walks out to the bubbling mud volcanoes next door.
