One of the best resorts i've been in sicily. Pool is amazing. Staff is friendly and helpful. Area is quiet and nice . Breakfast is an excellent one . Even dinner was good. I've been there 3 times and i will visit again in the future. Highly recommended. There is a well sized parking area . It is not so far from Sicilia outlet village

Although short, a wonderful stay. The grounds are stunning with breathtaking views. The accommodations were beyond our expectations and the staff were wonderful. Dinner was amazing too. Perfect way to spend our final evening in Sicily!

What to say about this hotel? I’ll start with fabulous. Truly magnificent. I have every intention of returning in the near future. We arrived several hours before check in time due to a cancelled day trip, and whilst we had a small wait for our room the staff worked hard to give us early access. The room was spacious, very modern, and beautifully designed. The bed and pillows were perfect for us and the black out curtains gave the opportunity for a great nights sleep. Some reviewers talk about “cold” staff, I had the opposite experience. They were friendly yet professional, there with a smile when I wanted them, and quietly in the wings at other times. I think they get the level of service absolutely right, and for me at least it elevated the experience. The pool area is lovely, fresh towels, spotlessly clean, nice easy background music, and a sophisticated area for drinks and snacks. From the pool area you have breathtaking views across endless rolling hills, it really is something special. The breakfast is a feast to behold, with everything you could want, much of it is locally produced for example the hotel makes its own butter, olive oil and breakfast cakes. It is all of the highest quality. The evening menu is exquisite, a first class dining experience which we thoroughly enjoyed BUT the menu is too limited, if you stay for a couple of nights you eat the same food as there’s not enough variety. Accepting variety can diminish quality and increase cost for the hotel, a simple solution would be for the menu to benefit from a “daily special” surprise dish which would allow people staying multiple nights something a little different to choose from. Having said all of that, what I want you take from this review is the food is exquisite, and unlike anything we had elsewhere in Sicily. I’d return to this hotel in a heartbeat. I do need to mention the cats however. There are five or six cats at the resort, all well cared for and friendly towards guests BUT they didn’t like one another and there were many cat fights under the breakfast table that I found disturbing. Breakfast seemed to be a pressure point for the cat fights, at other times of the day they were docile and a welcome visitor, my husband really enjoyed their company, but I found their breakfast antics more than a little stressful! This is a beautiful hotel if you want something upmarket, quiet, and just that bit different. The quality of their offer outshone every other hotel we stayed at during our three week tour (and there were many hotels).

Beautiful hotel in a stunning landscape and with a view of Mount Etna in the background. We had a room with balcony which was pleasantly modern and with good facilities although storage and wardrobe space was a bit limited. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We ate at the restaurant most of the time we were there and would thoroughly recommend it. The food was great. Lots of choice at breakfast including items produced on the hotel farm. They even make their own butter! The dinner menu was very inventive. We enjoyed every meal and really appreciated the care and effort put into the use of local/organic produce. A memorable stay.

Is situated high on a mountain with a fantastic view on the valley and mount Etna. It’s a very new hotel with fantastic staff. The restaurant is excellent! It’s also not far from the Sicily outlet shopping village that is very nice. The gardens are well kept.
