The place is difficult to find, particularly in the dark as the road name was not recognised by my sat nav. Upon arrival there was a disagreement as my booking clearly stated that breakfast was included but the owner claimed that it wasn't. In the end it was provided, but with no explanation or apology for the mix up. We were also charged for bottles of water - something that was provided as a matter of course in the room fridges everywhere else that we stayed.
Then on to our rooms. The photos of the exteriors on the website show mellow stone buildings - ours were a row of shabby wooden sheds. There is absolutely no soundproofing, just a single wooden tongue and groove wall between each room. We could converse with our friends in the next room without raising our voices at all. Then the power went off, came back, went off and so on. We got the impression that this was not at all unusual, but only in our block, as the rest of the complex was still lit up. Nor was there a socket anywhere to charge phones etc. except by unplugging a light. Our friends had one in their room but it was broken.
There are no views of the garden. There is a large hedge in front of the rooms and through the gaps there is a view of large area of bare ground with utilitarian buildings around it.
I suppose you get what you pay for, but this is overpriced whatever they charge. I chose it because it looked charming in the advert, but reality was far from that.

The hotel was amazing. The staff was very helpful and the entire property was very clean and beautiful. They have a beautiful pool and farm animals you can see and horses you can ride. We had a party of 10 people and everyone enjoyed their stay.

This Agriturismo was run by a friendly charming family - they told me they extensively renovated a rundown property in 2002-2006. They built a big prosperous restaurant with adjoining pool, children’s playground, bungalows and farm. The food was excellent. The rooms were small, dark wood panelled and sparsely furnished. They reminded me of North American motels. They were clean but the walls were very thin. I was surprised that there was a €10 fee for the pool/umbrella and €5 for umbrella hire and the gate to the pool was locked. I think it would have been nice to be included in the hotel price, even if I were charged more for the booking.. Room payment was requested on arrival and dinner had to be paid right after the meal - I would prefer to have had a tab and pay on checkout.

Nice property with a good restaurant. Great attention to environmental concerns. The rooms are a little rustic for the price. Small, hardly anywhere to charge devices. Pillows were very uncomfortable. Wifi was not reliable in our room. There was also a loud sound every time someone in the building used the water, which was incredibly annoying.

Il Giardino del Sole is a hidden gem

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Il Giardino del Sole in Sicily, and I can’t recommend it enough! This hotel is truly amazing—the perfect blend of comfort and charm.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home. They are exceptionally friendly and kind, always ready to help with a smile. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their guests’ experience.

Now, let’s talk about the food! Every meal was magnificent and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was beautifully presented.

If you’re travelling to Catania, Il Giardino del Sole is a hidden gem that you simply must visit. I can’t wait to return!

We were looking for a quiet place outside Catania and this was a perfect fit. We stayed 1 night and were able to have our lunch, dinner, and breakfast before leaving right at the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed walking around the farm to see the animals and also taking a refreshing swim in the pool.

Incredible views over to Comino. The town is quiet and near the ferries, making it easy to travel to and from. Very clean, beautiful pool and deck. Well worth getting a room with a view ocean side. Watch your step coming out of first floor rooms; some tricky steps can lead to falls.

Nice family run hotel 30 mins from Catania airport

We stayed in a ‘wood cottage’ room which was basic, clean and included TV, air conditioning, and wi-fi, perfect for our needs as we only needed to stay overnight in order to catch an early flight from Catania airport. Pizzas from the restaurant were good and breakfast included homemade preserves and fruit from their farm - very tasty. To top it all off, they very kindly opened breakfast an hour early so we could eat before driving to the airport.

Nice agriturismo stay

The farm is set among orange and olive orchards and has all sorts of animals including horses that one can ride to beach. It is also about 10 miles from Catania airport which makes it a great first or last stop on a visit to Sicily. Sadly a highway was built nearby but it is easy to forget it is there when You wander the property. Food was all homemade and exquisite (own oranges, own olives and olive oil). It is family run business - everyone but dad speaks very good English.

Le lieu est de prime abord intéressant mais la piscine ferme à 19h et il faut un bonnet qu'ils vous vendent 3 euros
La fermette est sympa mais peu entretenue.
Il y a un restaurant nous ne l'avons pas testé.

Accueil assez froid et neutre par une femme qui a mis plus de 15 minutes pour retrouver la télécommande de la climatisation pour notre bungalow. Aucun mot n'a été prononcé pent ça temps et nous sommes restées debout, il y a plus chaleureux comme accueil.
Donc le bungalow est assez spartiate mais propre dans l'ensemble, petit bémol pour la salle de bains.
Nous n'avons pas demandé à changer parce que c'est notre erreur de ne pas avoir bien lu les équipements des bungalows. Mais le prix payé pour ce bungalow est bien trop cher.
Nous ne recommandons pas cet établissement pour les éléments cités précédemment mais chacun pourra se faire son avis 😉

Un luogo per riposare e stare bene.

Tutto perfetto. Accoglienza, servizio, ristorante, spazi, natura. Camera praticamente immersa nell’agrumeto, il silenzio della campagna che garantisce sonni tranquilli e il profumo delle arance. Dopo una giornata di lavoro é l’ideale per riequilibrare lo stress magari anche facendo rilassanti passeggiate seguendo i percorsi dell’agriturismo sulla collina.

Clean and comforatable for the wooden cabin.

The cabin was clean. Shower is perfect. Plenty of water pressure and that is what i like. Not very soundproof though. You can hear the naber clearly but for it was no problem. Restaurant is nice and the food is as expected but only in the weekend there are pizzas. Not easy to reach by car probably a result of the new highway. Bed is good and comforatble and there is even a little refrigerator.
