Hospitality amidst almond blossoms

The scents of the Infiorata envelop Country House Villadorata where the days begin slowly, amidst breakfasts that taste of real Sicily and silences that don't ask to be filled. And they continue with a seemingly simple choice: stay, or go and discover the Infiorata. Thanks to the eco-resort's free shuttle service, the city can be reached in about 15 minutes without stress, without impossible parking, without compromise. You enter the beating heart of the event and, when the crowds begin to gather, you turn back. The Country House Villadorata (https://countryhouse.villadorata.com/) is a refined retreat nestled in the Sicilian countryside, a few minutes from the centre but far enough away to forget the noise. The structure is an old 19th-century palm grove reinterpreted with contemporary sensitivity. Situated in a 23-hectare area restricted by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, it makes sustainability one of its values: olive groves, almond trees, citrus trees and vineyards are cultivated using biodynamic methods in full respect of nature and the environment. Bright rooms, natural materials, a palette that seems stolen from the surrounding landscape. The kitchen also follows the same philosophy, with a chef who practices foraging in the surrounding countryside, gathering flowers and wild herbs.
