Fontanasalsa is a picturesque, working olive farm some ten minutes drive from Trapani Airport. The main courtyard retains its original paving stones leaving a wonderfully authentic, peaceful place to stay. A stroll around the surrounding orange and olive groves will quickly relax any stresses! Perhaps the key feature is the welcome that you are given. Fontanasalsa is run by Colette... More

We arrived by bike, exhausted. We were made so welcome and the food was absolutely delightful. The rooms were good, and the weather was cold but we had excellent heating / clothe drying facilities in the room. You are staying on a working olive farm and I loved this so much more than your standard 4 star hotel. A great... More

This agriturismo is a great base to explore Western Sicily. Within easy driving distance from Trapani, Erice, Marsala and salt mills. The place itself is in the deep countryside. Very decent rooms, decent food. Olive oil is fantastic.

While on a tour of Sicily we stopped at Baglio Fontanasalsa. At first, its looks are deceiving. However, upon enjoying our 5-6 course meal I can safely say it was the highlight of my vacation to Sicily! You Simply cannot go wrong here! Please try the Olive Oil Gelato! It was make your taste buds melt with pleasure!

Baglio Fontanasalsa is quite basic and rustic, but the rooms are comfortable, and the cooking is excellent. There is a swimming pool and attractive courtyard but little else. I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than a few days but it is a good stop off point if travelling around Sicily.

If you go to Sicily, make arrangement to transfer to Fontanasalsa a village on the Western coast for a typical lunch of the region. This bag io is an 18th country villa restored. The lunch was one of the highlights of our trip. The owners are a delight and the olive oil is sooo delicious. Do not miss

We felt we were getting a sense of a real working vineyard and liked that, particularly the dogs running around, one of whom had just had two puppies, and the warmth of the woman who greeted us upon arrival and put together a snack for us, helped us do laundry, use the internet, however slow it was. However, the room... More

The Baglio Fontanasalsa was one of the highlights of our November trip to Sicily. It is an old olive oil farm ten miles from Trapani that is renowned throughout Italy. We were able to see the oil being pressed and bought several bottles of the new extra virgin to take home. It was a convenient base to visit Trapani, Segesta,... More
