Pool, Bar and Fun

The poolside bar offers Guests a selection of hot and cold dishes, salads, sandwiches, toasties, flatbreads, piadine, and lasagna. For our younger Guests, the bar staff are happy to assist parents with the preparation of baby food or items provided by them.

Table tennis, table football and billiards are waiting for you!

By the pool, on the lawn, you’ll find sofas and armchairs where you can relax and enjoy the natural shade of the park’s trees. If you’d like to reserve a spot free of charge, please let the reception know at breakfast.

During your stay, especially from mid-June to mid-September, events with live music or DJ sets will be held for Guests and the public, on the terrace and in the park by the pool (until 2:00 AM).

A Haven of Charm: in a Green Corner You’ll Find... Pure Relaxation!

The Perfect Retreat

Tucked away in a corner of the garden, our Garden Relax area features a Jacuzzi hot tub the perfect retreat for those seeking beauty treatments, regenerating massages, and moments of true indulgence. Once stress has melted away, dive into the Jacuzzi or take a swim in the pool. Valle di Mare Country Resort is an oasis for anyone wishing to restore harmony and serenity.

Bookings

You can book a massage or beauty treatment through the reception, which will work with you to find the best time based on your needs. Treatments are carried out by certified professionals external to the resort. For short stays or weekends, we recommend requesting wellness services before your arrival.

Your Holiday Begins in the Morning

Breakfast

Breakfast is served on the terrace next to the reception, under the shade of a canopy and an ancient carob tree. To ensure the most relaxing start to your day, guests can enjoy breakfast until 11:00 AM.
This breakfast is far from ordinary — the reception staff will welcome you with typical local delicacies, fresh and homemade. From orange, fig, mulberry, and mandarin jams to homemade cakes, from the “pane cunsato” corner with olive oil, oregano and local cheeses, to the classic almond granita.

Of course, you’ll also find excellent French-style butter croissants, fried doughnuts, cream-filled krapfen, and all the classic components of a generous continental hotel breakfast: toast, cheese, ham, and finally, freshly laid eggs from our own hens.
In accordance with current guidelines, breakfast will be served at your table. Guests can also request to receive their preferred newspaper each morning at breakfast.

Nature

For our garden, we selected native plant species. Along the way, you’ll find the name and family of many plants displayed.

We’ve created a small “botanical trail” a peaceful walk through the park where you’ll discover various species and their botanical families.

You’ll stroll among olive trees, from which we produce our extra virgin olive oil through cold pressing of untreated olives (varieties: Zaituna and Biancolilla), free from any pesticides.

Near the resort, you’ll find a small beehive: bees are pollinating insects that help flowers turn into fruit by transporting pollen from one blossom to another. Thanks to their activity, they preserve plant biodiversity — a crucial element for nature’s health.

Without bees, pollination would drastically decrease; plants would stop reproducing and eventually disappear, herbivores would lose their food sources, and the entire food chain — and our planet — would be at risk.

“Go to the fields and gardens, and you shall learn that
the bee’s pleasure is to gather honey from the flower,
But also the flower’s pleasure is to yield its honey to the bee.
For to the bee, a flower is a fountain of life,
And to the flower, a bee is a messenger of love,
And to both, bee and flower, giving and receiving pleasure is a need and an ecstasy…”
— Khalil Gibran

We have adopted two Ragusano donkeys who help us keep the garden in order by grazing on the grass.

The Sea

The beach of Fontane Bianche bay is about 400 meters from the resort. It’s easily reachable on foot or by car through a country path within our property.
Other beaches can be reached in less than 5 minutes by car. We’ll be happy to suggest the best spots to explore the stunning coast, stretching from the resort to Capo Passero.

For nature lovers, it’s also possible to reach hidden coves (150–300 meters from the resort), though we don’t recommend them for children or elderly guests due to the steep trails and lack of services.

Children's Play Area

We’ve created a dedicated play area with slides, swings, and a small tower where children can play freely while parents can comfortably keep an eye on them from the restaurant.

Environment & Sustainability

We’ve done our best to respect the environment by installing solar thermal panels, photovoltaic systems, and cutting-edge heat pumps that significantly reduce CO2 emissions.

Real change comes from small daily actions. That’s why we encourage habits like reducing waste (especially plastic), proper recycling, using digital communication instead of printed materials, and minimizing laundry consumption.

In each room, you’ll find a dispenser with natural citrus-scented liquid soap, made using the hot method and our very own olive oil.
Thanks to its moisturizing, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties, it is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
Our extra virgin olive oil soap is delicate, free from preservatives, dyes, and artificial foaming agents, helping restore the skin’s natural pH while gently cleansing and hydrating.
