Agriturismo Santa Margherita

If you’re looking for traditional Sicilian experience then this is the place, rooms are basic and cleaned regularly, food is amazing both at Santa Margherita and local restaurants ( as in photos ) and lots of it, the views are to die for. Car hire is recommended if only for the experience and flexibility of visiting all the lovely places along the coast line. Definitely will be back Grazie Mille to everyone for making us so welcome.

Our stay at Agriturismo Santa Margherita was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the picturesque hills, this charming agriturismo offers the perfect blend of tranquility, comfort, and authentic Italian charm. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The owners and staff go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels at home. They provided us with excellent recommendations for local activities and dining, ensuring we experienced the best of the region. The rooms were spacious, and clean, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Waking up to the serene landscape each morning was a highlight of our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the traditional furnishings added a cozy touch. The food at Agriturismo Santa Margherita was another highlight. The on-site restaurant served delicious, homemade meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast was a delightful spread of pastries, fruits, and Italian coffee, while dinner was a feast of regional specialties paired with excellent local wines. The flavors were truly unforgettable. The evening entertainment was wonderful and we all very much enjoyed having a dance. The family would be there with us, enjoying us making memories. The property itself is a haven of peace, with beautiful gardens, a sparkling pool, and plenty of space to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in the Italian countryside with warm service, I can’t recommend Agriturismo Santa Margherita enough. It’s a place where you can truly relax, reconnect with nature, and experience the warmth of Italian hospitality. We’ll definitely be returning! Aldo & Family

Perfect if you want traditional quiet with amazing views, staff very helpful, food and wine on tap, hire car is a must to visit local towns and beaches. Rooms basic clean and with all essentials, google translate helped when talking to the locals and reading the menus. Definitely would recommend it

The pictures are deceiving. We never found the pool? The patio tables were plastic with no tablecloths. The mattresses were in need of replacement, but were clean. The furnishings were spare. It would have been a very different experience if we had better directions to get there (Google maps took us the indirect way) and if the staff had been friendlier. We expected a vineyard / farm tour or conversation at dinner but the restaurant was packed with locals (including a party of 20) and we were basically fed but ignored. Our first request for a second bottle of wine was forgotten. The Prix Fixe menu was limited but farm to table food was quite tasty. The was no coffee in the room and breakfast didn’t start until 8. Late breakfast would have been OK if there had been some way to make instant coffee.

Just returned from the most wonderful week at Agriturismo Santa Margherita which we whole heartedly recommend. First the points to bear in mind, it’s a good 2 hour drive from Catania airport, it’s high on the hill on country lanes and a car is needed to go to the beach, shops etc. Its an authentic agriturismo so farmhouse accommodation, location and farm animals as expected and as in the photos including gravel or earth paths around the farm, between buildings and the pool area. Our room was old style country farmhouse in the main building, a little dated but spotless, cleaned every other day with unbelievable views. Although directly above the restaurant and terrace we weren’t badly affected by the noise. Breakfast is buffet style with lots of pastries, cornetto’s, cereal, cheese ham and yogurt available. Evening meals are a set menu ie not a menu you can pick from but you can opt for all courses or just one or two etc. We found this a bit daunting at first but absolutely loved every meal. All of this provides the most authentic Sicilian holiday possible! Every single person there was friendly welcoming and so very helpful. The food was outstanding! No wonder so many Sicilian’s eat there too. The dining is all at the same time so although on separate tables everyone dines together which is a wonderful experience and felt like a family get together rather than a restaurant. Oh and the wine included with dinner was fabulous too! For anyone looking for a true slice of real country style Sicily and isn’t fazed by driving the Italian roads then I truly recommend visiting this area and most definitely to stay at Santa Margherita

Really enjoyed staying here. Good signposts to get there and the sat nav took us straight there. Good location. Excellent authentic food. Great views. Never went to the swimming pool. Staff speak Excellent English and are very helpful and friendly. Suggest you ask about air conditioning if it is important to you. Also where we stayed was some distance from the restaurant. Not a problem for us but would be if someone had mobility problems. Go on the boat trip to the islands. The staff at the Hotel can book the tickets for you. This is a very nice place to stay.

Just back from a week at Agriturismo Santa Margherita in Sicily. A special treat for my sister and I. We had a lovely time the food was amazing and lots of it. So many cakes to choose from at breakfasttime! Our room was basic but clean and room service every other day with clean towels. We had a bit of trouble with electrics you need a three prong plug? Had to ask for one off cleaners We could not plug anything in with our travel adapters? The place is high up on side of mountain can not walk to beach and need a car to go anywhere which we had thankfully. Views amazing. Lots of cats and dogs around very friendly so make sure you are happy with animals around you at mealtimes. Pool area a bit of a trek from our room as whole area is spread out. No where to get drinks or snacks at poolside when we where there. Lots of sunbeds. Pool a little tired and needs updating small child's pool looks a little shabby/dirty. Need shoes or flip flops around Pool area as rough stones on ground cannot walk around barefoot. Overall a good holiday, friendly staff.

Having recently returned from a 3 night get away at santa margherita we wanted to share our very enjoyable experience. The hotel is high up in the hills giving it stunning sea views, definitely transport needed to reach it but we enjoyed the fact it was not a touristy location and really felt we got to experinece some authentic sicilian culture as the hotel is traditional and rustic which is what we were looking for and although not a modern hotel we had everything we needed including air conditioning and a fridge in the room. The room we stayed in, the restaurant and pool were a distance from one another but the short walk across the grounds were lovely and scenic with lime trees and cacti. The nearest town was about 10mins taxi away and the main city of messina alot futher so you would need abit more time to use this as a base for exploring. Great place to relax, the food was consistently of high quality and plenty of it, the set menu comes with wine and the surpise of not knowing what was on the menu meant we got to try so many different things but mostly we want to thank the staff here they were so friendly and attentive even with our poor language skills and a special thank you to the manager Giuseppe who looked after us from the moment we arrived and to Claudia who was so lovely and welcoming you both really made our stay such a memorabale one.
