    It is quiet a distance from main attractions. But that’s not really a problem for those who don’t mind driving. This place is on the highway.

    We had a great time staying here with our 2 young children.

    Couldn’t fault it.

    This is an exceptionally nice property and place to stay . Suitable for an overnight or several days The two bed apartment is really good . Excellent aircon. Spacious lounge / dining room. Comfy beds Spotless downstairs showroom Well equipped kitchen . Good breakfast with ‘ specials ‘ that change daily . Lovely pool and a children’s play area. A great place to relax all day if you don’t want to sight see or afterwards if your visiting Syracuse or further afield . If you want to self cater there’s a great Lidl 5 km away in Augusta . Kids will be intrigued by the domestic pets and farm animals The owners Ottario and Ellena are lovely kind , very helpful people as are all the family. Ottario was great help in resolving a car issue for us.

Very comfortable, super clean, with everything you may need. Breakfast served to your room each morning. Highly recommended.

    Breakfast - though you specify what you want the night before, choices are extremely limited. It is served on your room's front porch - not very comfortable. In the bathroom - no water pressure at all in the shower. We complained - it was "fixed" and stayed basically the same.

    Very friendly owners/operators. Good size and comfortable room. Great swimming pool. Quiet. Unlimited parking... Easy access to the main roads to Catania and Augusta.

    Beautiful surroundings, lots of animals (donkey, horse, ostrich, hen, dog Pluto) - ideal for children, beautiful pool. The apartment was beautiful and spacious. The owners are very pleasant and kind, they did not forget to offer limoncello. Convenient position next to the highway and 30 minutes to the airport.

    Would have liked to see some veggies or fruits in our breakfast tray.

    The pool was great, our kids enjoyed it a lot. We loved being surrounded by so many different kind of trees, seeing vegetables, animals and fruits on the farm. The place is well taken care of, everything is clean and cozy.

    From the moment we were greeted by the family, this place was fantastic. We asked if they made limoncello and not only were told about how they produced it, they gave us a sample. The lemons, the olives, the gardens, the animals all made the visit wonderful. Oh, and a great pool and homemade fresh breakfast sandwiches. Fantastico!

    Our decision to arrive in early November when the temperature in the swimming pool had dropped to 'cold'

    The location is excellent for visiting the Baroque towns of Sicily, in addition Giancarlo was a fantastically attentive and pleasant host. The breakfast although the simplest we were offered during our holiday was the most pleasant for its simplicity, testefulness and attention to detail. We loved our two nights here and our only regret is that we didnt take up all his suggetsions regarding restaurants and places to visit. Lovely tranquil stay in a welcoming agrotourisimo

    No restaurant on site.

    Nice place on a working farm. Breakfast fixings in room, yogurt, cereal, juice, toast; also, they brought an extra homemade treat daily, Crepes one day, Coronetto the next day. They are especially popular with families—large pool, farm animals, etc. Host dog checks in on you daily; Hostess very attentive, and good English—answered all our questions.
