Mandranova is 27km west of the Valley of Temples, on the outskirts of Agrigento, arguably one of the most beautiful and historically interesting locations in Sicily, characterised by the remains of ten temples dating back to the 5th century BC and the Temple of Concordia being one of the best preserved temples of the Greek civilization today.

It became part of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 being one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, one of the main attractions in Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy.

The nearest beach to Mandranova is Marina di Palma 9km away and San Leone 28km west is a lively summer resort on the Mediterranean Sea with a good choice of restaurants and a sandy beach.

Porto Emopedocle is 6km from Agrigento where ferries depart to the Pelagie Islands of Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione, and 7km to the west is a stunning beach at Scala dei Turchi below white cliffs with crystalline water. 100km to the east of Mandranova are the Baroque towns of Ragusa and further on Modica, part of Val di Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

This is a beautiful family run agriturismo in rural southern Sicily.

The passionate owners/hosts have created a small, rustic-chic hideaway hotel from the original farm buildings, now offering guest rooms and suites suitable for both couples and families and a villa sleeping up to 6 that can be self catering or have use of the farmhouse facilities.
