A quiet and discreetly sybaritic citadel, the Cave Bianche is on Favignana, the largest of the Egadi islands off the westernmost tip of northern Sicily, near Trapani and Erice. The hotel is a bright and uplifting masterpiece of contemporary architecture set out within the protective walls of an ancient limestone quarry. This unique location puts the Cave Bianche very much at the forefront of the newly emerging upmarket eco hotels of southern Italy. There is a paradise within the walls - over 4000 square metres of it - with orange, lemon and fig trees, yuccas, oleanders, rock gardens and cool, deep pools. As one would expect in this part of Sicily the fish is superb. The chef here is the renowned Andrea Ventura, ably supported by Alberto Fiorino and Cristian Conigliaro. Their takes on mediterrananean seafood classics are zesty, uplifting and healthy.
