Agriturismo Bergi

I stayed at Bergi for the third time this May, and I think it's one of my favourite places in Sicily. It's quite high up in the hills which makes it fresh in spring and relatively cool in summer. They produce organic honey and I recommend the honey tasting - I had no idea that the honey produced from different flowers could taste so different, and retain some of the qualities of the flower or plant that the pollen has been taken from. The staff are just lovely - the Agriturismo is run by four sisters who have done the most amazing job between them, to maintain and develop the family business. The atmosphere and layout of the whole place is lyrical, full of flowers and running water. There's a charming pool that I could easily spend a day by, just looking at the view over the hills around (although usually when I go to Bergi I'm doing long walks in the Madonie). The hotel restaurant is in a new extension with glass windows looking out over olive trees and the valley beyond. The rooms are clean and comfortable and some of them have balconies looking out over the view. Each time I go to Bergi I'm there for a couple of days and promise myself that I will one day come back, on my own, and spend a whole week there - just to relax and soak up the atmosphere.

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!

Family of 3 in room 24 (Mandorlo) August 2022. The location of this agriturismo is stunning with a beautiful panorama of the valley. The accommodation and communal areas like the pool are in keeping with the landscape, immaculate and beautifully planted and landscaped. Our room was very spacious, modern (seemed new) and the AC was excellent. Small private terrace with furniture too. The staff at Bergi were without fail exceptional and always prepared to help with the smallest request. They were very welcoming of children and the owner gave the kids lettuce to feed the tortoise and another staff member dried off the entire playground after a downpour so the kids could use it. Drinks very good value and the food was excellently prepared and fresh. Allergies (coeliac) are very well catered for. I would return here again the next time I’m in Sicily without a moment’s hesitation.

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.

Agriturismo immerso in una florida vegetazione mediterranea. Ci ha accolto una delle proprietarie con cui abbiamo fatto un percorso nella tenuta,mostrandoci piante e l'apiaio. Pranzo buono,personale gentilissimo,purtroppo la gestione va a rilento e il pranzo dura parecchio. Do una seconda chance perché essendo il menu fisso il personale ha aspettato 60 persone che sono arrivate in ritardo.

Per trascorrere un weekend in relax e per visitare i paesini delle Madonie abbiamo scelto questo agriturismo, consigliato da amici, e abbiamo fatto bene.... Location circondata dalla natura, tutto curato. Stanza comoda e pulita (l'unico consiglio è stato un cambio di cuscini perché secondo noi scomodi). Tutto lo staff è stato cordiale e accogliente, dal check-in al check-out! Locale ristorante molto bello, di mattina molto luminoso. Colazione buona, sia dolce che salata. Abbiamo cenato 2 volte in agriturismo, buono. Prodotti biologici eccellenti, (ottimo il miele, idem le confetture). Ritorneremo. Consigliato.
