Stone architecture and rural authenticity define the experience, with flexibility to host both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations across multiple courtyards and indoor spaces.
This is a very beautiful and luxurious boutique hotel estate located in the region of Noto. Within short driving distances you find some nice restaurants and the villages of Noto, Scicli, Ragusa and Modica. When you drive through the gate you end up in heaven, this former farm breaths a luxurious atmosphere. The grounds are absolutely stunning! There is a nice walking route over the estate where you will find all sorts of fruit trees. What the fruit trees have to offer are used for all sorts of locally produced foods and treats. Communication upfront is very clear and there is lots of free parking space available. The staff in all areas are very nice and welcoming. The room is very clean and nicely decorated and has all you could possibly need during your stay here. The bed is very comfortable and we had a great night sleep. The price-quality of the hotel is good. Compared to the roomrates we felt they charged very reasonable prices for the food and drinks. You can easily spend a day at the magnificent pool here. The breakfast buffet is very extensive and has many local delicacies on offer! We didn’t try to have dinner here since during our visit it was very quiet, I am sure the food is amazing This is a perfect oasis to really relax during a Sicilian holiday, right in the middle of nature and close enough to explore all the nice cities and highlights in the area.
