Enna

agriturismi

This splendid
agriturismo
is housed in a 17th-century convent near the Lago di Per-
gusa. The monks' cells have long since been converted into comfortable guest rooms, but
the thick stone walls, vaulted ceilings and fading frescoes leave a historical imprint.
There's also a dedicated camping area and an in-house restaurant (meals from €25).

Up in the
historic centre, Enna's best hotel hides its lights behind a crude concrete facade. Once in-
side, you'll find a panoramic breakfast terrace and cheery, comfortable rooms with kitsch
gold-framed Botticelli prints and wrought-iron bedsteads.

Near the entrance to Nicosia (on the SS117 to Agira), this is an
agriturismo
in the true
sense of the word, a working farm with 10 comfortable, rustic-style rooms and a restaurant
specialising in earthy country food. You can go horse-riding (one hour/half-day €18/50),
organise an excursion or simply relax by the pool.
