A truly delightful stay. Borgo del Carato is beautifully restored, and located in beautiful surroundings. The first thing that struck us is how the air is rich with the scent of orange and wisteria blossom and the garden in the morning full of birdsong. The team were all friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to make our stay smooth and comfortable. And the food is delicious, with an excellent breakfast (the cakes deserve special mention) and a superb five course evening meal made of fresh local ingredients. Overall we couldn’t be happier with our stay. My only regret is that we only booked for two nights - I would love to come back for longer.

beautiful hotel
This is a beautiful set up, a former carob farm in the Sicilian countryside converted to a hotel and spa. It is like a film set, its stunning. We had a lovely stay here. My criticism would be that the room was not as smart as I expected. The shower curtain was mouldy, one of the lights did not work and although spacious, our room had nowhere to sit. It would have been nice to have a balcony or an area to just sit and appreciate the surroundings. The staff are lovely and help wherever they can. There is a spa but it did not seem to be really functioning. The hotel should put more info in the rooms about the treatments on offer, the costs and timings etc. It's a lovely place and needs to promote itself more to its guests.

Fabulous hotel.
Superb hotel in a lovely location.our room was huge situated on the second floor,with views across the fields.there is only 15 rooms in this old converted farmhouse,so most of the time we had the pool to ourselves.the food was quality and plenty of it and nothing was too much for the staff if we needed anything.we were part of the family which included playing with the dogs and birthday parties.on the middle week end we were invited to a family birthday party at the hotel.a fantastic evening.on our last day we had a few hours to wait for our flight,but the manager said there was no rush we could leave when we were ready.fantastic holiday,lovely people,marvellous location.

Who wouldn't give this place 5 stars
A fantastic host and someone who has created the most amazing hotel. It may be slightly out of the way but it is well worth the effort. Great food and an amazing pool. You will not want to leave. I wish more people would create such an experience.

Peace, Quiet, Character and Charm
This year we visited Borgo del Carato four times. The second we walked in on our first visit and feasted our eyes on its charming courtyard, the beautiful dining hall and lounge and the magnificent pool we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. This is an old hamlet, tastefully and carefully restored and run as a sort of boutique hotel by its wonderful owner, Luigi, who works extremely hard to ensure that all his guests have a pleasant and relaxing stay. It is located in the middle of nowhere, with only the sounds of the cows, goats and horses in the surrounding farms interrupting the silence, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. Chef Alessio is creative and obliging, and our lunches and dinners there were always mouthwatering. We left our wedding dinner for 84 guests on his capable hands and we were blown away- nothing but complements for this talented young man. The rooms are beautifully done up whilst maintaining many of the original features and they are comfortable, with good quality mattresses ensuring a great night's sleep. the staff are polite and helpful, including one particular waitress, Giusi, whose patience and care were commendable. Nothing but praise for this wonderful little gem that we are so fortunate to have discovered. We look forward to visiting each year.

Updated upscale villa in peaceful countryside.
This is an amazing setting and facility out in the hills up from Siracusa. The 1500 year old structure has been redecorated and is undergoing additional refurbishment. It seems to be run by a family and they had a wedding booked for one day of our stay. We arrived late evening and they treated us very hospitably. Our room was spectacular wth a general seating area outside the door that we essentially had to ourselves. Bathroom facilities were great. Weather was very hot but A/C worked well. We chose to eat here because it was removed from a central location, which we preferred. Food was very good, charming staff. Pool lovely and refreshing. Parking fine: we felt safe out in the country.

Hôtel très calme loin du tumulte touristique. Alller à Siracusa prend 30 minutes mais retrouver cet hôtel paisible est un vrai bonheur. La piscine et l’environnement sont très agréables. Les hôtes sont adorables et se mettent en quatre pour vous rendre service. La chambre était spacieuse avec juste un manque de miroir dans la chambre.

5 stars and oozing with charm
Probably the most amazing place we have ever stayed. It is stunningly beautiful and oozing with charm. Our apartment was amazing and as for the courtyard, words are not enough. We ate there both evenings simply because the atmosphere was magnetic, the food great and Santo was a gem. We loved his sense of humour and amazing hospitality. Not a place we will ever forget. It was a privilege to be swept up in Borgo del Carato' s absolute charm.
