My bathroom wasn’t spotlessly clean and the shower was wobbly. The mattress felt old.

The location is top. The view from the room on the sea and the sound of the sea are amazing. The staff was lovely and caring.

Pillows were not the best could do with something softer

The villa iis new to the owners so this is their 1st season and we were the 1st English people to stay there . The villa is right on a private pebble beach water shallow enough to swim in but take sea shoes as lots of pebbles. The owner and staff are absolutely wonderful,friendly helpful nad nothing was to much trouble for them . The villa is 2.5 hours from Catania Aiport and 5 hours from Palermo airport so a car is an absolute must as you will need to drive to the villa and to also enjoy the surrounding areas . The dining area had a lovely sea side vibe ,bright and airy and spotlessly clean .The food was DELICIOUS ,made fresh to order ,breakfast was ample also ,fresh fruit salad,croissants, yogurt ,just right to get you on your way but also cooked food is available if you wish . I recommend tring the messina beer with sea salt ,very smooth and tasty . All in all a very relaxed and friendly stay and I wish the proprietors all the success as they deserve it .

The hotel room doesn't have the small extra things you would expect at a restaurant in this price range. Like a bottle of water in the fridge or a kettle and coffee, etc. The owners are very nice and service minded, but the food in the restaurant is not fantastic.

The sea view from our balcony was truly amazing. They have a small pebble beach that would have been perfect for snorkelling if we had brought our rock shoes and snorkelling gear. The view from the restaurant is beautiful as well. This is what you pay for.

Would be good to improve the wifi, it worked only on the balcony

Beach right next to the accommodation. I woud recommend this and come back.

Could use a small upgrade to outdoor sun beds and umbrellas.

Amazing seaside location with welcoming staff. Excellent value. Very cozy and intimate location and setting.

Location Staff Very big room

The path to the location is not in good condition and it's long. Quite bad at night. The restaurant food was good but that means below your room there is a restaurant... with music... at night until midnight. It's such a nice and remote location that this spoils the atmosphere a bit.

Very nice view, spacious room with nice AC and clean. Balcony is good too. Restaurant food was good and its convenient.

The surrounding area is an endless mass of polytunnels. Although we appreciate this is necessary for agriculture, it doesn’t make for lovely views. You need a car to get to this hotel, and there is nowhere really to go walking around. You’re limited to the small bay where the hotel is located. Other reviews speak highly of the owner but unfortunately he had gone away, another issue with us holidaying late in the season. His parents and other relatives were as helpful as they could be though!

The setting is lovely, with views of the sea. The hotel is good value. We had great food cooked for us by the family - too late in the year for the restaurant to be open.

Breakfast was basic.

Amazing location right on the sea: the view and ambience are outstanding! Our room was big and comfortable, with a stunning view. Big bonus is the restaurant where we spent a couple of very enjoyable and delicious evenings! The little beach is charming and offers very nice snorkelling options. Two sand beaches at walking distance.

Stayed in August 2025

The only drawback is that off season there is no restaurant close by. So you defnitely need a car to get dinner.

wunderful location with a very relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was very nice and we loved staying at the private beach. We watched the sunset nearly every day and enjoyed our aperols while doing this.

Stayed in October 2024

The approach, through streets of ruined poly tunnels and rubbish, but don’t worry it’s the most beautiful place when you arrive!!

The most amazing view and sunset, with a little cove where we sat and had our breakfast. Short (20min) walk to a sandy beach and a lovely little bar. The view of the sea - stunning. Clean and tidy room, mini fridge and a balcony. The host was very friendly and welcoming, thank you! Hope to see you again one day!

Cleanliness - unfortunately the bathroom had a lot of rust and limescale issues. The hairdryer was so dusty that I thought nobody had touched it in months. Room - It has all you need, yes, but needs some renovation and cozy touches. It felt really soulless, just white walls and a bed to sleep.

If you are looking to relax in a remote place with a beach, this could be a good location for you. The hotel has a private beach with sunbeds. Unfortunately, we were there off-season and it was chilly and too windy so couldn't spend any time at the beach area. Also to bear in mind: the restaurant was closed in mid-September so you always need to drive somewhere else to get food. The room was spacious but much less fancy than it looks in the photos. There is some renovation work to do like the paint on the walls. Apart from that, very friendly host and a satisfying breakfast. Might be more pleasant in the right season :)

Nothing everything was perfect for us!!

Simone was an excellent host he suggested a wonderful beach/Lido called Migra with umbrellas, lounge chairs and restaurant. The location has parking and is beautiful but it is rocky therefore you will need water shoes. The location is very easy to get to Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa. We loved our stay at Il Varo A Mare...
