Baglio Occhipinti in Pedalino, open May–August.
Baglio Occhipinti sits on the Sicilian plateau near Pedalino, commanding views across the southeastern landscape where limestone hills meet cultivated valleys.
This restored rural estate—a baglio, the traditional fortified farmhouse of the region—anchors ceremonies and receptions in authentic Baroque countryside, just 30 minutes from UNESCO-listed hilltop towns including Ragusa Ibla, Modica, and Scicli.
The venue operates as a working hotel with 12 rooms hosting up to 40 guests, making it a self-contained destination for multi-day celebrations.
If there was a way to rate our stay at Baglio Occhipinti higher than a 5, I would. We traveled here as the final leg of our Italian honeymoon and were hoping for a relaxing end to a busy couple of weeks. Our expectations were far exceeded. The room was the perfect combination of charming, with the modern bathroom and amenities we like, and the house is the perfect mix of quaint and comfort. The food was superb, and we are so happy that we enjoyed dinner here each night. The freshness and quality of food was truly the best we had in Sicily and Italy and we’re sad to be leaving the delicious homemade treats (especially the almond milk and juice at breakfast!). The best part of all was the amazing hospitality we received. Each member of the staff made us feel truly like we were at a home away from home. Rebecca, Lucretzia, and Roberta were all superstars of hospitality and made us feel like we were staying with friends by the end of our stay. I would recommend anyone to stay here and enjoy the beauty of Baglio Occhipinti! We are already talking about how we would like to come back, and just checked out today.
