The drive up to the top can be quite challenging with the narrow turns, especially at night.

The property was beautiful. Amazing venues. Tranquil and relaxin.

A delightful stay. Such a beautiful tranquil property with a wonderful host Italo and his team, including delightful Amanda to take such good care of us. We felt extremely rejuvenated after our getaway at this beautiful gem. The whole property, including the pool area, has a spectacular view over Noto.

Fabulous owner, Italo, who was always available, answered our questions, provided great recommendations in Noto and even gave us a lift into town on one occasion. The property is out of town, on a hilltop with breathtaking views of Noto and the countryside. It is secluded, with a beautiful pool. We enjoyed a delicious dinner around the pool (four courses), Italo organised a masseur to come one day. It was the most relaxing stay during our holiday in Sicily. Highly recommend.

The road leading up to the property is a bit rough and bumpy. We had rented an SUV, so it was not an issue. But once, you made it to the property....you immediately forgot about the ride up!

The staff was incredible. Attentive to any need, sincere, happy and always very helpful in anyway to help your stay enjoyable and memorable.

Nothing - but people should be aware that there's quite a drive up the hill and around switchbacks. It's worth it!

We loved staying up in the hills above Noto. It was very peaceful, with lovely grounds and amazing views over Noto and beyond.

nothing, it was super.

the location, the architecture, interiors, the owner, the services, everything was lovely

Unfortunately, and I stress this was no issue with the property itself, the road access that is maintained by the local government is far from ideal, however if you are familiar with the economic situation of rural Sicily it is to be expected.

The hotel was set on a beautiful, protected hillside with olive groves and other local produce such as lemons, oranges and almonds- proudly grown by the owner. The mix of plants and trees provided an incredible aroma that greeted you whenever you went outside to enjoy the grounds. This m was just one small detail in a property that was full of pleasant surprises. The pictures on booking are fully representative of the experience and the owner was helpful, attentive and friendly with some interesting stories of Sicilian history and helpful recommendations.

There is nothing to criticise. Perfection to the detail!!

WOW it deserves many more stars!! A pearly paradise nestled beautifully in the mountain close to Noto. Amazing pool area, great lovely accommodation, stunning setup. focus on organic products and high-quality services & friendliness. Italo, the owner, made us feel so welcomed. He is a wonderful person to meet and talk to.

Beautiful location, exceptional host in Italo and his wonderful team, (especially Amanda) who were all so helpful and accommodating . Food was exquisite and loved trying their handmade produce from their bountiful land. Really comfortable rooms and wonderful pool area. We will definitely be back very soon.

The track to the property is slightly challenging.

No expense spared building this property: the warm stone, the amazing views, and the perfect layout makes this a really special place. Italo is a great host with great taste. He has built built this place with immense care and attention to detail. The pool and spa are wonderful and the breakfast fresh, tasty and plentiful. It’s a real treat to stay here.

Exquisite grounds full of olive trees and other citrus. Wonderful, family owned hotel with a real personal touch. The owner Italo cooked us dinner and allowed us to invite our parents who were staying at a nearby hotel.

We loved it all!

What a stunning property with olive trees everywhere! The owner, Italo, is also a producer of olive oil and it's absolutely delicious. Quintessential high quality Sicilian olive oil. The property itself is marvelous - bougainvillea everywhere (my favorite plant), olive trees, lime trees. The views from the pool are out of this world. The breakfast is delicious - fresh jams and juices made fresh, and local cheeses and meats. Highly recommend doing a dinner with Italo - 5 course meal with the freshest ingredients. Come prepared to give pets and scritches to the pets on the property :)

Leaving the pool behind!

The location is so quiet and peaceful with lovely views. The pool isn’t heated but was still wonderful. Just dive straight in. Only a small number of rooms so not overcrowded. A car is necessary for dinner in the lovely local town of Noto. We enjoyed a gorgeous meal prepared by the owner on the day we arrived. Breakfast was a relaxed affair and is served indoors or outside on the terrace as you like. Would highly recommend this property.

there was an issue with the spa but we could still enjoy our time there privately.

the location is great (middle of nowhere and yet 5 min away from the Centre of Noto). we’ve slept here like babies and relaxed fully during our three day stay. Italo is a great host and a character to engage with, he gave us a lot of good recommendations for the area. the breakfast was super tasty with very high quality spread. we’re definitely coming back!

Amazing location and very well maintained!

This place is in an incredible location with amazing views. Can’t be beat. It’s clean and well appointed. Italo is willing to help with suggestions for local activities. Just note the hot tub is communal and children are not allowed. The listing is misleading and I thought it was a private hot tub. But it’s a shared hot tub for all guests with a 70 euro fee per hour.

No towel replacement or room cleaning. Breakfast expensive for selection. Ants all over room. 2nd bedroom in cottage very uncomfortable and not suitable for adults

Beautiful grounds, pool
