Magical Experience
Pros:

We had a very lovely and unique experience during our one-night stay at this property in Buccheri. The hotel is set in an old wine distillery, which gives it a distinctive character, and each room feels individual. We stayed in the superior suite, which was tastefully decorated and very comfortable.

There is a rear door from the room which was helpful for bringing in luggage, although it opens onto a small football pitch rather than a private outdoor space. There is no TV, but WiFi is available and worked well.

We were the only guests during our stay in April, so it was very peaceful. The pool was not open at this time of year, but it looked like it would be a lovely space to relax in during warmer months.

The restaurant was truly the highlight of our stay. Everything is cooked and hosted by the owners, and the whole experience felt very special and personal. The menu is à la carte, but portions are generous, we skipped the second course and went straight to dessert! The food and atmosphere made for a memorable evening.

Overall, a really enjoyable and different experience, and we’re very glad we stayed.

Vorspielung falscher Tatsachen,Für den Preis eine Frechheit .
Pros:

Der Ort ist sehr schön gelegen

Cons:

Man wurde in der Anzeige angelogen, statt einer superior Suite mit einem wohnzimmer, haben wir ein dunkles kleines Zimmer bekommen.. und das war angeblich schon die Suite. Vorsicht vor diesen Betrügern .

Todella kaunis talo kauniissa maisemassa! Ruoka oli courmet-tasoa, erittäin hyvää. Huoneessa oli lämmitys joten tarkeni myös hyvin. Tätä paikkaa ei kannata jättää väliin!

Great location and fabulous food.
Pros:

The restaurant and food. Probably the best and most interesting food awe had on Sicily and at a great price. Good location for Catania airport for an early flight.

Cons:

Some of the room features and common areas were a bit old fashioned e.g. electrics
