Opening Period : Palazzo Epicurio

Location
This charming hotel is hidden in the alleys of Scicli and is from the old town just 2 minutes walk. This town, a splendid example of Sicilian Baroque, has been included in the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is located in the south-eastern province of Ragusa, just 3 km from the sea and 50 km south of Tunis. This is a perfect starting point to discover the most interesting sites in the area. The closest airport is Catania-Fontanarossa, which lies at a distance of 131 Km.

Hotel
The boutique hotel Palazzo Epicuro was originally a palace built between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century. A careful restoration has joined the Sicilian tradition to the modern taste of the two French owners who, however, make the most of the original elements of the building without leaving anything to chance. The property is thus permeated with an atmosphere of ancient times but, at the same time, featuring the most sophisticated and modern equipment and furniture design. One of the particularities of the hotel is the swimming pool with sliding glass roof that allows the usability in all weather conditions. This modern swimming pool offers underwater music, color therapy and a device that creates a current for the swimmer to swim against.

Rooms
The 11 rooms of Palazzo Epicuro are individually decorated with antiques, canopy beds and designer bathrooms. The rooms are equipped with LCD satellite TV, Wi-Fi, mini bar, air conditioning, safe, private bathroom with hairdryer and a balcony overlooking the old town or a patio leading to the pool.

Restaurant
In the hotel guests can enjoy a rich and delicious breakfast and also let them be fascinated by the flavors of typical Sicilian gastronomic, tasting dishes prepared with local products. The hotel gives the guests the opportunity to choose between a 6-course tasting menu (excluding beverages), which changes daily depending on seasonal products and the inspiration of the chef and a half board menu with less courses. Customers can choose to dine in the dining room or poolside, or, weather permitting, on the terrace.

Services & Activities
It is possible, on request, to take cooking lessons or painting lessons or book a massage. The hotel provides a shuttle service to nearby attractions (with supplement). You can also book a boat excursion or electric bikes. The hotel also puts a library at guest’s disposal.
