Borgo del Carato

We booked this magical resort/spa for our wedding and from the picture perfect structure to the absolutely Devine grounds and comfortable rooms, this place will leave an everlasting memory. Perfect for a romantic getaway and a memorable family event. The dedicated staff and management and owners will stop at nothing to leave you with a lifelong memory.

I have nothing but praise for this secluded farm stay in Sicily. Rooms were very clean and nice. All staff was very friendly and the hotel is super pet friendly. Every morning we were served with a delicious breakfast made of genuine food. There are quiet places to walk surrounded with the sound of roaming cows. The only thing I can complain about is booking for rooms online. Apprently it is best to indicate the number of guests in each room even if you book a single, double, triple or quadruple room. We were charged extra for having 3 guests staying in a triple room as we didnt indicte that we wil be 3 guests in the room.

First, the location. It really is "remote" so going out to dinner at night is really not a great option. That said, one of the best things about this villa is the food - we had two very good dinners at the villa and the breakfast was also a nice spread, with many fine options. The rooms vary. We were placed in a very dark room with twin beds and a bathroom that sorely needed renovation. However, the staff was very accommodating and moved us to a bigger, more lighted room off the courtyard. However, the door wouldn't lock...so after about 25 minutes of trying to fix it, they just shaved off some of the door...and that did the trick! Also of note, septic systems are fragile at the villa, so they ask you not to put toilet paper down the toilet. Overall a nice stay but with a few tweaks to the upgrading of rooms and service at the pool, it could be a real gem for relaxing and taking in the Sicilian countryside.
