Country Houses in Province of Syracuse

"We stayed 5 nights at Tenuta Olive Alive and loved it! We used Noto as a bounce off point to visit several towns in the area (Siracusa-Ortigia, Modica, Ragusa Ibla etc). A short drive into Noto itself. Fantastic accom, took advantage of the rain outdoor spaces for some meals, made good use of the pool. Our host, Italo was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. He cooked for us one night - which was sensational. We are a family of four, incl two younger children. They loved the loft style...

"This is a stunningly beautiful property set in many acres of land, an estate planted with olive and almond trees together with vineyards. A series of one story buildings in the estate house the rooms/suites. A central building (pictured) houses the reception, a dining room and an area by the pool. Separately in the grounds there’s a lovely al fresco dining area for evenings. It’s situated in the countryside and is about a 20 minute drive to the city of Noto. "

"place okay. Bit early in season. Everything at the accommodation closed at 7pm. Didn’t open again until breakfast at 0730am. Nowhere else to hang as main reception area closed at 1930so confined to pokey room or outside in cold. We were offered a bigger better room at an extra 20e a night on check in which came over as ours was bit rubbish! -which it was ! It was a 15 min drive to Avola on a dodgy road. Little to see in Avola - sea front area was ok but little there due to time of year. Room...

"Zahir country house is set in a beautiful garden setting with a very large infinity pool. A calm and beautiful retreat in the nature. What we liked: The Beautiful gardens, the very large and stylish swimming pool, the sitting and lounging areas around the pool and garden, the very friendly staff, who really go out of their way to help, the modern design of rooms and common areas, the free ample parking (in the shade below solar panels), the closeness to Noto, the beaches of the Vendicari...

"Fantastic stay at La Mela Di Venere!! The hosts are fabulous and we’re accommodating for our daughter who is celiac. The location is beautiful, rooms were great and the food was delicious! "

"Food was excellent and beautifully presented. Most of the ingredients were from the farm. The dinners more than met expectations. Each evening meal was delicious, and no dish was repeated during our 3 night stay. From the appetizers to the limoncello, all was wonderful. Everything was served with a friendly smile and explanation. One of us is vegetarian and they happily accommodated. Here you will find a working farm with friendly service, clean accommodations and a wonderful atmosphere."

"Un posto bello dove trascorrere giornate all'insegna del relax naturalistico e della buona cucina."

"J essaye de trouver 1 point positif a cet hotel mais... Impossible ! Photos tres alléchantes mais arrivés sur place quelle catastrophe. L endroit en lui même pourrait etre sympa : on arrive milieu d un verger, il y a une piscine, un patio plutot sympa mais une fois dedans on déchante vite ! A l accueil on trouve un monsieur tres froid que vous semblez déranger. Les chambres degagent une odeur bizarre et je ne parlerais pas de la déco , chacun jugera ... les gouts et les couleurs... Et pour...
