The hotel is a lovely old converted winery and is situated in a very large Orange/Lemon orchard in the middle of the countryside. The hotel rooms and grounds are stunning, with nice views of the Volcano/Sea and the bar/restaurant are both excellent. Breakfast is a fabulous experience and is served outside on a lovely covered area with views out to the sea. The spa is small but is nicely designed and the staff do a good job. The swimming pool and poolside areas are quite nice, although the pool wasn't heated in April, so was VERY cold. The big negatives during our stay were that the food options at lunch are VERY limited and the poolside drinks/food service weren't available. In addition, the evening food options for dinner, apart from the Michelin star restaurant, aren't sufficient for a hotel of this calibre. In addition, the hotel rooms that face the nearby railway line (Whilst large and beautiful) suffer from too much noise from the trains that pass by. Lastly, if you want to take a taxi to the nearby town (Riposto) the taxi is VERY expensive for a 10m journey and the restaurant options are limited. All in all it's a very nice place, but has some limitations that impact overall experience a little too much which is a real shame.

A lovely property that is unfortunately right behind a train track so if you’re a light sleeper you’ll likely be disturbed. We loved the amazingly beautiful villa and our meal at the restaurant was an epic experience. I would strongly suggest new and or different music in the villa. The elevator music was tiresome and annoying and not at all compatible with the lovely surroundings

We were super excited to stay here but ended up wishing we booked less nights. You really only need to stay here one night. Or I recommend booking at a vineyard lodge on the area and coming for dinner. The dinner and service was great, would definitely eat there again. The daily breakfast was good but the service was bad (they forgot our order one of the mornings). But the wasps…horrible!!! Anytime you eat they are right there! They really should do something about them!! Not much to do on the property. The rooms we had weren’t that great, in our room I felt like the tv stand was just gonna fall over any second. The spa is small and ok. The massage was interesting.

Incredible hotel with amazing services.WELL DONE!
This place is AMAZING. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is beautiful. We stayed 2 nights in private a garden sweet and 1 night in a room on the second floor of the casa with a private balcony. Both rooms were absolutely stunning. The pool area was amazing. The bar staff was very helpful. The restaraunt was fantastic. Great food and great service. We also called the reception to book us a tour of Mt Etna. And we had the best tour guide thanks to Zash. Onsite parking makes it easy to come and go if you bring your own vehicle. The spa is a wonderful place to relax. I highly recommend.

Worst night's sleep EVER!! Amongst all the peace and serenity is a train line, which just happens to be located right next to the hotel and runs until about midnight and then again from about 4am. Try sleeping with that right next to you. Impossible. It was like sleeping on the track!! To top it off, we were in room 5 and next to the kitchen, so had the extra treat of listening to the pots and pans from the kitchen being cleaned until around midnight. I complained on check out and they knocked off the price of 2 (massively overpriced) glasses of wine. Not good enough. The pool is great and surroundings are nice (ignoring the train line), but the relaxation during the day is completely ruined by the complete lack of sleep. AVOID!!!

Exceeded expectations in every way!
A really stunning property; pool area, restaurant and the rooms are particular highlights. Didn't have time to try to spa but that looked amazing too. The staff (particularly Morinio (sp?) on the front desk) were incredibly friendly and helpful - couldn't do enough to help out. Expectations for the room were completely blown away by the reality - very appreciative of the upgrade to a suite in the gardens - beautifully designed and comfortable; instant relaxation. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful property with views of the water and Mt. Etna. Great amenities and the service was very friendly and efficient. The only thing that is somewhat disappointing is the surrounding area. The property is located close to train tracks which can be a bit noisy and distracting from the otherwise tranquil property. Also not a ton of dining options nearby.

WOW ! This place is stunning a mix of old and modern. The food is amazing. The room was spotless and beautifully laid out. The spa is beautiful and you can use for an hr and half each day - it has to be booked but there is no extra charge. The grounds are beautiful. You need a car as slightly remote nearest place about 10mins. Finally the staff - Helpful, welcoming and courteous . 5 STARS all the way 👍😊. Just a pity it rained when we were there -

Lovely Place to stay for R&R
In the countryside between Catania and Taormina you will find (possibly with a little difficulty) this little elegant hotel, we came on a last minute deal, the staff were very friendly and helpful, spoke very good English. The breakfast was excellent, if you want to book this be mindful it is remote and unless you have a car your choices for dinner are limited, the restaurant on site is excellent albeit very expensive, we paid 200 euro for 2 with one bottle of wine. The pool looks very nice, the spa was immaculate and the rooms were to be expected from this type of hotel A lovely place to relax and chill out - if that is what you are looking for.

It could be incredible.
We booked one of the garden glass rooms which was beautiful however for the price you pay you expect the very best and there were areas that could do with improving which we addressed with the reception staff. The door handle of the room was not screwed on properly which made it feel like you could be trapped in at any moment. The toiletries were refilled, so we didn’t use them. The coffee machine didn’t work and there wasn’t free water and the price of the water available to purchase from the mini bar was extortionate. There is a train line behind the hotel which is fairly loud but didn’t seem to bother us too much. There is a lot of building work going on at the moment and this did not stop until 4pm in the afternoon one day. They gave us a free drink to compensate for this. The pool area is stunning and there is plenty of seating and the spa is good. The restaurant staff and the food was fantastic. There was no lunch available in the restaurant and the bar didn’t open until late in the afternoon so we were stuck without food and so we used the complimentary bikes to cycle into Riposto but found it difficult to find somewhere that served lunch. The complimentary bikes were not maintained and other guests warned us off them before we left. The saddle on one bike continuously swivelled and I asked reception for a pump to fill the tyre on my bike and he handed it to me without an offer of help. Reception staff didn’t seem particularly bothered about guests which was a shame.
