Resort Fontes Episcopi offers hands-on cooking classes using home-grown ingredients, led by local chefs. Guests can join horticultural therapy sessions and traditional farming activities, such as olive picking in October.

The on-site restaurant serves organic Mediterranean cuisine, with ingredients sourced from the property's gardens and olive groves. Breakfast includes diverse options: continental, buffet, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Evening meals are four-course dinners prepared by 'Nonna' (grandmother) in the open kitchen, where guests can interact.

The spa & wellness centre offers massages, facials, body treatments, and couples massage packages. Two outdoor swimming pools include a salt-water pool with views over the valley and a pool bar. Guests can use the open-air bath, solarium, and attend yoga classes on-site.

The bungalows offer more privacy and are situated 70 meters from the main building, with a pool between. Rooms feature handmade soaps, soundproofing, and views of the gardens or countryside.
