Baglio Oneto, Marsala, Italy

• Noblesse oblige: Presiding over the rugged Sicilian countryside from an 18th-century aristocratic residence, Baglio Oneto is a five-star boutique hotel like no other. Helmed by the descendants of one of Marsala’s foremost families, this stunning property has been preserved through the centuries by the same Oneto dynasty, who have meticulously restored their ancestral dwelling and take pride in upholding a longstanding tradition of noble hospitality. Expect nothing less than excellence as you bed down in an enchanting old-world setting, where original feudal features blend seamlessly with elegant contemporary designs.

• Taste of Sicily: The Oneto family has faithfully continued the estate’s historic production of wine and olive oil, among which are extra virgin olive oil and the world-famous Marsala wine. Drawing on home-grown ingredients and centuries of culinary tradition, the hotel’s restaurant prides itself on serving the finest and freshest Sicilian cuisine, set across several beautiful dining areas including a charming outdoor terrace and patio. Come here for laid-back lunches or romantic candlelit dinners, and opt for a local products tasting for an authentic taste of the region.

• Five-star relaxation: Spend long hours lounging by the sun-kissed pool, taking in sweeping views of the surrounding landscape from your privileged hilltop position. For something a little more active, hire a bike onsite or make the most of the estate’s outdoor fitness trail, or simply wander through rolling vineyards and lush Mediterranean vegetation. And if the hotel’s magical sea views leave you longing for a beach day, you’ll be just 10 minutes’ drive from the pristine sands and crystal-clear waters of one of Sicily’s most coveted coastlines.
