Possibly the worst "5-star" hotel experience we've ever had & Dishonest staff!!
Pros:

The entrance gardens are nice

Cons:

We saved Villa Neri for the end of a two-week trip through Sicily because we wanted to splurge on a luxury hotel near Mount Etna. Instead, it was the most disappointing hotel of our entire trip—and honestly one of the worst hotel experiences we've ever had.

We experienced:
A broken room lock that left us locked out for approximately 45 minutes (and then no entry OR LIGHTS for the remainder of our stay). Staff suggesting we leave our hotel room door partially open so we could get in and out.

No functioning lights in our room because the broken key-card system controlled the electricity. Packing for an early flight and using the bathroom in the dark.

A promised refund that the hotel later refused to honor (which seems to be a theme based on other reviews…)

No functioning Wi-Fi in our original room despite repeated complaints and multiple devices being unable to connect. Staff insisting the Wi-Fi worked when it clearly did not.

Being moved to a room that was a lower room category.

Missing towels on multiple occasions.

Bad breakfast and terrible service.

The most frustrating part was not the maintenance issues themselves. Things break. The problem was the complete lack of accountability.

And then, the ICING ON THE CAKE, after all of these issues, the hotel acknowledged the problems and offered us a refund. At checkout, we were told the manager wasn't available and that we would be contacted afterward to process it.

We never received a call (par for the course with this hotel). And once we got in contact with them, they acted like it never happened and are refusing to refund us.

Pros:

The property is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, and feels like a romantic dream. The lobby staff were incredibly welcoming and gave us excellent recommendations for trips and restaurants, always with a smile. The room itself was high-end and very well-designed.

Cons:

When paying a premium price, you don't expect to be nickeled-and-dimed. Although breakfast was included in our stay, we were shocked to discover at checkout that we were charged extra for ordering an omelet. No one in the restaurant mentioned this to us beforehand. When we brought it up, we were simply told that an omelet costs extra, but scrambled eggs would have been included. I travel worldwide and stay in luxury hotels (as well as standard ones), and I have never encountered something like this. Additionally, there were a few minor maintenance issues in the room, such as a light that didn't work in the shower.

Lovely Hotel but internet nearly non- existent!
Pros:

The hotel and the studios are lovely. Staff were super helpful

Cons:

Internet in the studios almost non existent. Not so great in the hotel rooms either. If you arrived at the later stages of breakfast - there was a shortage of things which didn’t get topped up .

Beautiful setting and lovely room, some elements fell short of the ambition
Pros:

Beautiful setting, main building / lobby and guest room were tastefully decorated and of a high standard. The spa treatments were very good.

Cons:

Breakfast was of average quality for the standard expected of such a hotel, the service indifferent. In general, the cuisine was variable, with an excellent lunch followed by what was an average evening meal. In general, the focus seemed to be on the appearance of the food (to match the elegant surroundings) rather than its quality.
