The staff (especially Martina) were extremely helpful in assisting us after a car breakdown and service thereafter, including at dinner, was knowledgeable, professional and very pleasant. Our room was large, clean and well-equipped, with a great bathroom. At dinner my wife enjoyed pasta with rabbit and I had a fish soup with couscous - a local speciality. As a winery, it offers a wide range of its own products - we had an excellent white wine (Quater Vitis) made from four Sicilian grape types. Its olive oil was distinctive and delicious. As we arrived late we had no opportunity to explore its outdoor amenities. Guests have to walk up a couple of hundred metres from the carpark, and there is no lift (the staff were very helpful with our heavy luggage). Overall, you might be reminded of a high-end US countryside resort - high modern standards are maintained in a traditional Italian setting.

PROs: - Pleasant country surroundings - Large rooms CONs: - Reception is hit and miss: the first two gals were pleasant, even if completely inefficient – they never got the phone in the room to work, thus every time you needed something from the reception,bar, or room service, you had to walk to the desk to ask for it. The replacement was worse: rude and completely not interested in the problems of the customers. - Overwhelming stink of cheap after-shave accompanies you everywhere: reception, restaurant, bar, your room. I cannot help it but think that this is their way of covering some ugly aromas around... If at least the bugs were to run away from it, but they don’t: flying bugs, hopping bugs, crawling bugs, all kind of bugs - Pathetical bathroom and shower, fit for a motel, not for a four star hotel. - It’s in the middle of nowhere, so you are a captive audience. As such, you are charged ridiculous prices: €24 for a Johnny Walker black, NYC price, €3.50 for a miniature bag of chips - Pool is not heated - Towels on the grayish side and fading fast - The Prix fix dinner is ridiculous: a starter of eggplants, cheese & tomatoes and some pasta afterwards, accompanied by four glasses of wine, one smelling and tasting like gasoline ( to their credit, they replaced it when we complained). - Barking dog all night long - Noise from the near-by highway, nonstop. Avoid if you can.

wonderful property. Excellent restaurant and service Wine tasting most enjoyable with a chance to learn more about wines of Sicily. A most memorable experience and stay at the resort.

Special place - charming and efficient service. The wines obviously are out of this world as befits this winery. The food was simply amazing- the pasta with truffle and shrimp deserves a special mention as well as the magnificent crudi plate! Really worth going there

The hotel really was beautiful. The grounds were topnotch and the rooms were spacious and clean. We enjoyed one day out by the pool and our server, Michael really did go above and beyond. We also did the dinner/wine pairing one evening which was nice, just had a little bit of weird vibe to it. After dinner we went out to the wine bar that is there on the grounds but everything seemed to be closed. Maybe June is not a busy month for them because there was definitely a vacant/sleepy vibe about the place.

The place was beautiful and the wine is delicious. I would recommend staying here even if only a few nights.
