    Small pool. Large bathroom, but rather dated. Secluded location, not so easy to find at first. Light curtains, so quite bright in the morning.

    Friendly staff! Quiet location, close to Siracusa. Great fresh orange juice !

    Not a great choice for breakfast, bread was poor, no eggs. Generally not good quality food. Hated the roads to the property full of dangerous potholes and a significant drive into Siracusa

    Beautiful gardens and peaceful surroundings

    Rom size was smaller than expected which was a little difficult preparing for a wedding - still had a great time.

    We booked five rooms to be able to attend a family wedding - the accommodation and location were beautiful. Breakfast was great and the hosts and staff were welcoming, warm and friendly. We had a fabulous stay and were able to gather family from Ireland, England, Germany and Australia together. It was an awesome time, thank you.

    No restaurants nearby. We had to go to Macdonalds in desperation as we couldn't find anywhere. Breakfast was adequate but not as good as other places we stayed.

    Idyllic get-away in the orange groves with generous hosts

    We would suggest packing a pair of thick woolen socks if you're there in the winter (stone floors). Some of the bathroom fixtures could do with a tightening of screws.

    Idyllic atmosphere, stunning garden and reception hall, generous hosts, and a delicious breakfast with fresh orange juice and a delicious cake every morning. Serene breakfast setting in the mornings, endearing pets. Very relaxing! The room was spotlessly clean, the beds very comfortable, and the interior deco in very good taste. We would go there again any time. Heavily recommended.

    The kitchen was lacking a microwave or oven to be able to heat or cook food. Perhaps a suggestion for the future.

    The natural habitat with countryside and animals and genuine in-house organic products. The collection of antiques is impressive and of pleasure to the eye of the person who values the prestige of each item and fully accessible in the breakfast area to experience and live with while dining. Very friendly host, always ready to help.

    In the bathroom, and by consequence, in the entire room there was the smell of bathroom pipes. Horrible. Enough to spoil everything else. Also, the water from the shower leaked very very slow, you had to shower with your feet in the water. The furniture was really old but this was not so upsetting like the other problems.

    It is a great farm, a lot of space, green and beautiful. The breakfast room is really nice, lots of antiques and charm.

    The bathroom was not very proper above all the shower. There were black spots at the shower wall, hair in the shower from the previous guests... During the breakfast some employees were not very friendly. They use plastic dishes which is really not ecological.

    The breakfast was good. The room was calm.
