Not 4* but still paradise.

The location is absolutely beautiful and the whole place smells like flowers. The outside areas are well equipped with a lovely chlorinated pool, gym area libraries a ping pong table etc. The on-site restaurant is also excellent with an immensely talented lady both cooking and waiting tables.

Great stay in the area

Second time staying at this place, love how in nature it is and yet close enough to drive into towns in a matter of minutes. Great host and very good breakfast. Plenty of parking on site.

Stunning rustic escape with incredible pool and food

This property is stunning and it is child heaven. So much for them to do and they sat out in the evenings playing cards with other children. It feels incredibly safe, beautiful, and clean - and the staff could not do enough for us.

Hidden gem

The location is fantastic, you are literally surrounded by trees and nature. Authenticity wise this is a fantastic hotel. Don't expect a standard resort, rather some sort of hidden gem. As there are only about 7 or 8 rooms, you can expect quitness and peace. Very nice breakfast, with view on the valley. Also has a rather big swimming pool compared to the small number of rooms/visitors. There are stunning nature parks in the vicinity, great if you like hiking. Very good value for money!

Magical place!

We absolutely loved everything! We didn’t want to leave at all. It’s a place of peace, relaxation, and beautiful views. The staff is very friendly and warm-hearted. The grounds are stunning—everything is covered in flowers and greenery, it’s impossible to take your eyes off it. There’s a view of the mountains and it’s close to the sea if you are driving by car. Animal lovers will enjoy this place because there were two absolutely wonderful dogs and lovely cats. It was a joy to live alongside them—they became our friends during our stay. The room was very cozy. It was comfortable to sleep in, with high ceilings. In the morning, beautiful golden light would pour through the windows. We also really enjoyed the pool area. What we loved most was the feeling of seclusion—even though there were other people around, we still felt a deep connection with nature and a sense of privacy. We especially want to mention the dinners. A wide selection of food, everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and a special thank you to Antonio for the heartfelt conversations and homemade limoncello. Thank you once again to everyone we met there—we truly hope to see you again soon! One important note for anyone planning to go: make sure to follow the correct route. You’ll receive instructions via WhatsApp—don’t ignore them! Otherwise, you may end up on steep and dangerous mountain roads. I could go on and on about how much we loved it, but to sum it up: we would love to return and will definitely recommend this place to all our friends ☺️

Amazing!!!

The swimming pool is clean and has a relaxing area, perfect for unwinding in peace and quiet while listening to birds singing. The restaurant offers delicious local dishes, and the atmosphere is incredibly pleasant thanks to the friendly and polite staff. The view of the surrounding mountains is absolutely beautiful. Breakfast is served as a buffet with a variety of options. Highly recommended for a peaceful and enjoyable stay!

A special place in Scily

The property and gardens are beautiful. We were very spoilt by everyone. We have been delighted .We highly recommend a visit to this exceptional property. Peaceful and calming,. The restaurant and food is exceptional. The scenery in the hills of Scily is very special. Spoil yourself and stay for at least three days.

So many hidden places in the grounds. Views were amazing. Very helpful staff, speaking good English. Friendly dogs! Huge rooms, excellent value for money. We thought our bill was per room but no, it was for both of them!

Top hill oasis

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

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 :)
