We had an amazing time here and although it was raining it didn't bother us been from Ireland you could explore or relax looking at the rain over the mountains We arrived passed midnight due to flight delays but the team directed us and got us settled for the night We had a beautiful breakfast and dinner although to be told that we could only have certain things for dinner was a disappointment now they were amazing local cuisine which I'm willing to try but to see the table next to you having meat etc was the only down fall the people here are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them I would recommend and return
Not given much opinion for dinner

The property is one of the greatest in the area. Great size room and spacious bathroom, very clean and welcoming. We had a good night rest as the bed was medium firm and the pillows were accomodating. We loved the breakfast as it had a nice range of options, both sweet and savory, suitable for vegetarians also. The coffee from the bar is the one to go for. The host was very friendly and supportive as we arrived auite late. A lot of activities to entertain yourself during your stay. Would love to be back
Tip for Booking: update the link provided in the reservation as it is not accurate. Just use Google maps and you will arrive straight at the location

The pool is well-maintained, clean, with a beautiful view, enough sunbeds. The apartment has 2 floors, both bedrooms have air conditioners, it is spacious, everything is clean and tidy. The staff is friendly and helpful. Standard, but good breakfast. Sufficient space for guest cars.
The location is not very convenient for driving towards the sea or nearby attractions as you have to drive uphill and the entrance to the hotel is narrow and very steep. According to the photos of the room, you can see the kitchen, but there is no stove at all, the oven does not work, there is only an electric kettle. Plates, tools, chairs at the table were missing, but upon request, the staff quickly organized everything. It would be kind to have everything ready before arrival, especially when the staff knew for coming family with 3 children. A few local dogs and cats always follow you in the hotel territory and they also sleep anytime at your door.

I choice this accomodation as it allows pets and I was traveling with my dog. The property is amazing - different small buildings with rooms amidst a very well kept beautiful, colourful garden! We did not use the pool as the weather was not right, but it was another wonderful place to relax. Breakfast is a very generous selection of both sweet and savory items, one can easily stay for multiple days without getting bored. It is located in a very small village where I am not sure there is any place for dinner, but this is not necessary as this property has its own restaurant with delicious food where one can enjoy a great dinner. The people working there are also very friendly, helpful and kind. I definitely recommend it and will book again without hesitation if I am ever to be in that area again!

This little old village is perched on a hilltop, surrounded by lush vegetation: vivid green orange and loquat trees carried abundant ripe fruits and the smell of flowers was just inebriating. The facility is divided into smaller units: the reception, the restaurant and the rooms or studios are connected by red brick paths and stairs, where plenty of flowers added a touch of color. The facility is clean as a whistle; the rooms are spotless. Equally clean was the swimming pool. In my suite there was a sink and a kettle. I was amazed by the kindness of the staff. The restaurant offers delicious locally grown food, and they accomodated my gluten free request.
The room had a bathroom with a WC for disabled people, so it was a bit higher than usual and definitely uncomfortable. Only the next day I realized it was actually uncomfortable to use, but I could have asked for a different room. The light in the bedroom was a bit weak, you had to open the curtains to get plenty of natural light. The television was not in the actual bedroom, but in the entrance room, there was a kitchenette, a table and a single bed.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is great. The rooms and location were exceptionally clean. The entire location is beautifully maintained with many plants and flowers. We had a very pleasant stay.
I know it is very Sicilian to have a very sweet breakfast, but we missed some savory things in the morning. Diner was very good but it would be nice (although not vegetarians ourselves) to have some vegetarian options.

Amazing views, peaceful stay, food at the restaurant was very good. Beach just in the vicinity was stunning with snorkling possibilities. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
The walls were a bit thin, so the water pipes were slightly loud at night. Location is a bit challenging to get to and car is a must.

Friendly hospitality
When I booked with booking.com I paid the holiday tax of £2 per person per day total of £32. When we booked out I had to pay that amount again £32 together with an amount of R580.00. Why???..I find this very disappointing 😞 and hope I will be refunded.

Nice clean room with mini-kitchen and aircon. William (manager) and Antonio (restaurant manager) were extremely helpful. It was so handy to have the flexibility of choosing which meals to have at the restaurant without having to plan ahead. Always an option for the kids and a vegetarian. The pool was great and never crowded and archery, table tennis were fun. A bakery and a wine producer within 10-15 mins walk too.
The breakfast could have been a little better. What was there was OK but seemed to run out if you came towards the last hour. Maybe some fresh fruit too?

Amazing place !!! The breakfast and the dinner were both exceptionnal, with local food and drinks. Above the expectations, this hotel was the best one we had during our stay in Sicilia. If you are looking for a quiet and typical italian place in the middle of the nature, that is the good place :)
