The main disappointment was our Classic Room. It didn't look like the website photo: no balcony, no nice view, and the window faced the entrance path. Anyone walking by could see straight in, so we kept the curtain closed. I think rooms 1, 2, 7, and 8 are like that. If you book a Classic Room, ask for rooms 3-6 or say you want one like the photo. Aside from that, it's a pleasant little hotel in a handy spot for heading inland or back to coastal resorts, including Taormina. There was plenty of room around the pool, little road noise, and a small indoor lounge. Dinner has to be ordered in advance from a limited menu, but the food was pretty good.
A handy base for car trips and excursions, and highly recommended. The agriturismo has a tasty buffet breakfast and welcoming service. Rooms are clean and practical, and you can join them for dinner, with a different four-course meal each day.
The rooms could use a little freshening up, though the price seems fair for what's included. The food, from a Michelin five-star chef, was lovely and very affordable.
We stayed four nights and loved every bit of it. The resort has a quaint, antique, distinctly Sicilian feel, and we really liked the location. Our room was spacious, the pool and its surrounding area were clean, and the staff were great. We especially liked that it's family owned and run. Breakfast was good, though there wasn't anything hot; there was a toaster for bread. Dinner was good too. We'd definitely recommend staying here and hope to return someday.
We came back the next night because dinner was so good. It's an agritourism hotel, so the menu is small, with two choices for each of the starter, primo, and secondo courses. On our first evening, we caught a glimpse of the Nona’s in the kitchen and took that as a good sign. The food lived up to it. Make sure to try the gelato.
