Originally I selected the Fontana Calda based on the location, but in the end it was Doris and Massimo that made the visit most enjoyable. Doris was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule due to volcano activity (both times). Also the recommendations for eating and shopping were excellent. And the setting in the olive groves made for a picturesque... More

There's not much we can add to the glowing reviews already posted! We arrived in Sciacca without a reservation, and headed to Al Moro (which looked great). Al Moro was full but the lovely German lady behind the desk called her friend Doris to see if there was availability at Fontana Calda. Doris' husband Massimo came into Sciacca on his... More

We took our trip to Sicily in late May of 2009. We stayed first at a B&B in Catania. We then went to Sciacca to stay at Fontana Calda. We were very impressed. The property is beautiful and relaxing. A lot different from Catania. The apartment has amenities that we did not have at Catania, such as a well equiped... More

We shared a flat which had a big bed-room with comfortable double bed, living room with the kitchen full of all kinds of cooking equipment, local olive oil and wine and a huge balcony with the...

We expected a fantastic Sicilian villa experience after reading the website for Fontana Calda - and we were not disappointed. We stayed in one of four sweet little apartments with a balcony that had sweeping views of the rolling hills of olive groves. We could see the high mountain village of Caltobellotta and through a split in the landscape was... More
