Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi
Stone floors, dried flowers hanging from heavy wooden beams, and large wine barrels artfully positioned – this great agriturismo is the epitome of rural chic. The accommodation is in small apartments spread over the extensively cultivated grounds. The apartments are fairly simple, but the setting is delightful and the swimming pool is a welcome luxury.
It's a little hard to find. Follow the signs along Via Pontone from Sant'Agata sui due Golfi for 2km.
