  : The staff has been amazingly kind and tried to accomodate every extra wish. A big thank you to the wonderful Chef Giuseppe Catanese, for his lovely dishes and for sharing his passion and knowledge about local ingredients and the long culinary history of Sicily. Particularly appreciated all the mouthwatering breads baked with locally grown ancient grains (Tummina, Perciasacchi, Russello, Maiorca). We cannot wait to visit him in his own restaurant in Rosolini. Thank you to Maria Luisa Zisa (Da Lu Zero Glu), for her fresly baked cakes, whose fragrance guided us towards the breakfast room every day and for the special breakfast treats. Thank you to Alessandro the barman, with his special "caff shakerato", his eternal good mood, smart sense of humor and nice stories. Thank you also to Emanuela and Valerio for their precious recommendations about places to see and good, traditional local restaurants.
  : There could be more confortable sitting opportunities outside the rooms.

  : The room was perfect for a family with 2 kidsKids sleeping on the mezzanine level was great and aloud privacy between with parents bedroomStaff were kind and helpful, particularly the 2 ladies that ha dled breakfastThe swimming pool is big and very niceDespite not having a restaurant for lunch or dinner there were 2 good quality restaurants within walking distance
  : Massage was great but the massage room and the facilities could be improved. It would have been good to have a proper place to change.. Perhaps some ambient music to cover the outside noise would be a nice addition to enhance the relaxing feel.The grounds look generally nice with garden and olive trees around, but there were some works going on and some parts had building material around.

  : Excellent location to tour the south east and east of Sicily. Noto, Avola, Siracusa and Ragusa all very close. Hotel is well maintained and super clean. Breakfast was a bit frugal but the pastries and cakes by Giuseppe the chef are excellent. Very nice grounds with a nice setting in olive trees. great swimming pool, all this in a nice and cosy environment. Special mention for all the staff who were super helpful. Emanuela, Claudia and Michela, Antonio and Gianni and last but not least, Valerio who is a walking encyclopedia of the area. Apart from other things he recommended a fantastic pastry shop called Fichera just 5 minutes away from the hotel. Great Pastries at great prices. Well done to all.
  : Not Much!! Shall surely be back.

  : The breakfast, and in particular the kitchen staff, was fantastic; the children (and admittedly also the parents) was in awe of the selection of cakes, my daughter managed to get a breakfast solely consisting of cannoli. The swimming pool is great, and the hotel grounds are very nicely kept.
