Antico Casale Benalì

The pool with its spa features was the highlight for us, and the price was very fair. My family and I had the best time at this antique villa. Our room was clean and ready for us, the service was amazing, and the quiet location worked perfectly, with Siracusa close by by car. I’d give it six out of five stars 👍🏽 We’ll definitely come back!

This was our favorite stop on a two-week trip around Sicily. The Palazzo-like Casale is beautifully situated, just a ten-minute drive from Syracuse, and we had a great vacation. Our room was spacious and well equipped, the pool was gorgeous, and Andrea, the owner, and Valentina, our go-to person, were both extremely friendly.

The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean, but I kept waking up because the fridge was noisy. Our ground-floor room was by the building entrance, so we heard other guests coming in and talking at reception. Breakfast noise carried into the room too, making it hard to sleep past 8am. Breakfast itself was very basic, just croissants, apples, and orange juice, and I would have liked more choice. The B&B is small, with only five rooms, and the pool area was quiet. During our five nights we saw just one other couple there once, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. It’s a stunning B&B in a great location.

Valentina is a gem! The grounds are kept in perfect condition, and there’s a great pool. Our room was spacious, clean, and modern, with a really comfortable bed.
