We just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Raino. Very family friendly, very relaxing, really enjoyed both breakfast and dinner there. The owners were just lovely and it truly felt like a real taste of Italy. Will definitely return!

Due to problems going up the stairs, staff offered to accommodate us at another hotel they owe in town. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the room. Villa Raino has an excellent restaurant.

Beautiful old building with great views.

The hotel is very lovely, with great views of the valley. The only downside is that it is isolated so you have to drive from it to get anywhere, including to restaurants. Although they offer a huge dinner.

Great Valley Views

Stayed there for 1 night on a road trip in Sicily.
Warm welcome by the host Aldo and his wife. Hotel setting provides beautiful views of the valley and is within 5-8 mins drive to the quaint hill town of Gangi.
We had some pasta for dinner and breakfast the next morning. The food was just great.
We wished we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the surrounding area and the hosts' hospitality a bit more.

Authentic rustic Sicily with charm and comfort

If you are looking for an authentic rustic experience in the Madonie area, this is the place. It is to the Petralie, Castelbuono and the Madonie mountains and is therefore a great base for exploring. This is not an updated renovated villa, but it is a wonderful and comfortable and charming villa none the less. Yes, the rooms are air conditioned and there is a nice pool, but we loved the various wall papers and old furniture and the totally informal but terrific staff. We arrived about 2 pm for our two night stay and were immediately invited for lunch - we were offered some terrific antipasti and a heavenly pasta with ricotta and pancetta. We didn't look any further for restaurants while we stayed here- the cooking and service is that good. Do try the rustic antipasta - you'll be amazed at the rapid-fire delivery of amazing country dishes! Pastas and secondi were excellent, too, and the local wine served in soda bottles is delicious- really! We were overwhelmed at our first dinner at the sheer quantity of food- our waiter told us not to think about it and just eat it, and he was right. The one problem here is that because of its remote location, cell service is very spotty (we had most luck down by the pool with a line of sight to Gagni). The wifi didn't work the whole time we were there, but maybe that's a plus, too.... Oh, and don't trust your gps on the way in. Take the road to Gagni, and turn left just before the fountain on the left just before the town.

It was so lovely, we wanted to stay

I felt like an Italian baroness overlooking her idyllic pastoral domain from her balcony each morning. The hosts were attentive & gracious; the room elegant but non-pretentious; the surrounding views so tranquil & beautiful; the dinners delicious; the pool fresh water. We wish we were still there. It was wonderful!

Beautiful country house style hotel

We had a fantastic afternoon on the deck overlooking the fields nearby, followed by a sumptuous dinner cooked by Aldo. The local Sicilian wine was delicious and plentiful. We enjoyed a swim in the large pool next morning before sitting down for a breakfast feast, again served by Aldo.
We plan to come back for another stay at Villa Raino in the future; we cannot recommend it enough!

Friendly and not too remote.

We were on a walking holiday . We had to travel up to 40 miles to get started on most walks. The views in the immediate area were breathtaking.
We chose to stay here for the food which was delicious and plentiful our host Aldo was very attentive.

Villa Raino -Delightful and Delicious

Villa is lovely. Rooms are clean,comfortable, but not luxurious. (not unexpected for a farm stay) The proprietor, Aldo was wonderful. Excellent breakfast and the dinner here is a must. Extended our stay another night.

Preis Leistung ok

Das Zimmer ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Lavabo wackelte. Dusche hat leider keine Brause mit Schlauch. Es war sehr kalt, leider haben wir zu spät gemerkt das man mit der Klimaanlage auch heizen kann. Wäre schön gewesen wenn man eine diesbezügliche Info erhalten hätte.
Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und wie auch das Abendessen sehr gut.

Une belle ancienne demeure tenue par une famille adorable, et très prévenante. Les chambres sont belles et grandes, meublées à l'ancienne. la salle de bain était aussi à l'ancienne, très propre mais du style maison de famille. La piscine est super et un énorme plus par les grandes chaleurs. On y mange vraiment très bien et pour pas cher. la campagne environnante est très belle et très clame. Suffisamment central pour nous permettre de rayonner dans toute la Sicile. Attention, la route descend fort pour y aller, ça peut surprendre. Nous avons adoré notre séjour, merci encore pour tout!

Pessima esperienza.. non ha funzionato il riscaldamento e per più di un ora la caldaia e quindi niente doccia e acqua calda, necessari ad ottobre in quelle zone.
Colazione nella media con soli prodotti dolci.
Bella la location

Prestations de hautes qualités

Pas facile a trouver, ce B&B est situé dans un cadre idyllique, décor somptueux, vieille bâtisse historique pleine de charme. Personnel serviable. A recommander fortement.

Una accoglienza pessima

l'esperienza a villa Rainò è stata al di sotto delle nostre aspettative. A detta di amici, che avevano soggiornato la settimana precedente per un week.end e tutto era stato eccezionale, la nostra purtroppo non è stata altrettanto, poichè abbiamo avuto problemi per raggiungere il posto visto che il navigatore ti fa percorrere strade di campagna pericolose,non ci sono insegne della struttura per consentire di prendere lo svincolo corretto. L'accoglienza all'arrivo è stato gradevole da parte della figlia del proprietario,ma al cambio di staffetta con il Padre tutto è cambiato...nostro malgrado ci siamo sentiti a disagio per il modo poco cortese ed inaccogliente verso ospiti che avevano scelto la sua struttura(Trascurata). Con dispiacere devo aggiungere che non ritornerei in questa Villa nonostante l'ubicazione ,il panorama ed il contatto con la natura è meraviglioso.
