Pantanelli di Vendicari

Dinner was excellent, with food cooked beautifully, decent portions, and reasonable prices. The atmosphere was delightful, and service was friendly and efficient. Their own wine was delicious. We strongly recommend it.

The setting is stunning, but that was the only real highlight of dinner. Service was very average, and the food felt expensive for what it was, even though the portions were generous. The octopus salad had no taste, as if the seafood had been frozen. The salted caramel tiramisu was nothing like expected, just a tasteless cube of mascarpone on an extra-thin cake base. We asked for two separate bills but got one handwritten bill that was hard to read, which made splitting it between our two families painful and frustrating. I wouldn’t recommend it.

The location is dreamy, and I can see why wedding parties would want to celebrate here. It’s beautiful, quiet, and clean. We only had dinner at the farm, and the meal was okay. The kitchen didn’t seem to be the main draw, but the setting certainly is. Great.

The pool is modest in size, but clean and refreshing. Breakfast is basic and mostly made up of local products, with something for everyone. Our spacious, clean room had a traditional Sicilian design, and the room service was excellent, including a complimentary bottle of water each day. The staff were very friendly and attentive. This beautiful agritourism is tucked away from the main road near Noto, and it’s definitely worth the price.
