• Thomas (9/5): -
• Henri (6/5): - Het landgoed was mooi De kamers waren zeer gehorig en zeer bekrompen
• Valentino (4/5): I would not choose this place again. - Breakfast was OK, location is good, outdoor areas were good for young visitors. We were served olive oil with dinner which was not just old but off. The owner met us the following day saying that the waitress had made a mistake (even though the bottle clearly said that it was this year's oil), nothing to do with the waitress. She gave us a weird story that their "good" oil is not "peppery" because this would be a sign of bad oil, whereas we know (as oil connoisseurs) that this is a sign of high polyphenol content which is what you want in extra virgin oil. We did not appreciate the attempt to con us. Also, walls between rooms were not soundproof, we could hear absolutely everything going on next door.
• Jean (9/5): - Très beau champ d'oranger tout autour de la ferme. Endroit vraiment idéal avec des enfants.
• PIETRO (10/5): -
• Andrea (9/5): Soggiorno tranquillo negli aranceti. - Viaggi di lavoro, posizione scelta per essere comoda per la zona industriale (15min). A 25 minuti da Catania e 15 da Lentini. Immerso nel verde, la mia camera aveva uno spazio esterno molto tranquillo. Personale gentile e simpatico. Cucina molto buona. Tornerò sicuramente. Alcuni dettagli della camera (es. assenza del comodino) potrebbero essere migliorati
• Colette (9/5): -
• Benmai (3/5): rekommenderas ej - läget i en apelsinodling, tyvärr fick man inte gå och titta på den. vi bokade delvist för att det var nära flygplatsen och vi skulle hem dagen efter, behövde lämna hotellet kl 0700. blev inte erbjudna någon frukostpåse. dels bokade vi för att det skulle finnas pool men den var inte öppen. vidare; oengagerad personal. sängarna var nog färdiga för tippen redan på 00-talet, de var mer som hängmattor än madrasser. rummen små och mörka. lyhört, en busslast med barn/ungdomar bodde på samma ställe och det lät mycket om dem och rummen var mycket dåligt ljudisolerade vilket gav oss alla mycket dålig nattsömn upplevelsen av boendet var kollo mer än hotell.
• David (8/5): -
• dagmar (7/5): - Essen im Restaurant war gut. Pool gut. Schön bepflanzte Anlage. Frühstück auf Dauer langweilig,, immer das Gleiche. Wenig Brotauswahl. Service war gut. Jedes Haus hat eine Terrasse, das ist für abends schön. Das Holz der Badezimmertür war so verzogen, dass sie sich nicht schließen ließ.Ebenso meine Tür zum Schlafzimmer. Im Bad könnte man mal eine Grundreinigung machen. Der Perlator des Wasserhahns fehlte, also spritze es. Die Toilettenbrille war defekt, ebenso die Duschkabinentür war mit Vorsicht zu benutzen. Meine Matratze war durch gelegen. Insgesamt sehr dunkle Räume.
• Elizabeth (6/5): - 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.
• Lauren (6/5): - 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.
• lizrX5329LN (10/5): Excellent - Amazing place beItiful outdoor space which is kept immaculately the owners are so wonderful kind and considerate recommend here wonderful value for money beautiful area a hidden gem
• Marian (8/5): -
• Maria (3/5): Avoid avoid avoid - Nothing What a mistake it was to book here. We didn’t reserve anywhere for our last night before the flight and unfortunately ended up in this place. Bad road leading up to the property. Next, they insisted on paying before showing us the room. Which now makes sense of course, as they put us up in a wood shack - no noise/heat insulation, very dark. Very bad value for money - would expect to pay no more than €50 at best for this kind of campsite. Pool area was in a dilapidated state, with every lounger broken. Restaurant was a disappointment - small selection as half of the menu wasn’t available for lunch or dinner. Very weird vibe - other guests were lorry drivers who did end up staying outside, drinking and talking until very late. Which actually is down to the design of the property, as seating area just behind the sleeping shacks which meant no sleep for us due to the noise.
• Roger (5/5): - Infrastruktur inkl. Pool vorhanden und nutzbar.
• Samantha (5/5): - Large parking area with friendly staff Breakfast options were poor. Some noises early in the morning from gardener at 6am
• Roger (8/5): -
• Stellario (6/5): - La pulizia
• Angelique (8/5): -
• Adrien (9/5): Excellente solution pour découvrir la Sicile et les Sicilien encore plus avec des enfants - La ferme, la gentillesse et là disponibilité bleu personnel, le bungalow.
• Saliba (10/5): If you’re going to Catania, it’s one of the best locations to stay. - A good location in Catania and few mins to the shopping areas. Very Safe and good parking. Settled beautiful and very quiet. It’s a must to dine here. I’ve been many times in Sicily and never tasted food this good. The pizza and the traditional food then…. Woww. Good job for all there and keep it up. The only only thing was the pool. It’s with specifics time and I think should consider make longer and early hours opening.
• Domnic (5/5): -
• Liria (10/5): Ottima sosta nella natura - Ottimo ristorante Nulla
• L5986AKmichaelh (10/5): Unforgettable Stay at Il Giardino del Sole! - We had an amazing time at Il Giardino del Sole! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. Enza, the owner, is incredibly warm and attentive — she really made our stay special. The food was outstanding — every meal was packed with flavor and there was always plenty to eat. You can really taste the freshness and tradition in every bite. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and very well cared for, and the whole property is beautifully maintained. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Sicilian countryside. Between the delicious meals, the super friendly staff, and the peaceful atmosphere, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Sicily — we’re already planning our return!
• Richard (10/5): Definitely will stay again when back in Catania area! - Great Sicilian property with excellent interesting buildings. Loved being in the oranges orchard. Staff was incredibly helpful! Mattresses were uncomfortable; sagged (lacked support)
• Jennifer (10/5): - Very friendly and very serene
• Chris (6/5): Pleasant -
• Gerardo E (10/5): 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!
• jonathan (10/5): Great hotel and staff. very good value for money. - Great hotel and staff. about 25 minutes from Catania airport in a taxi. Excellent restaurant amazing wood fired pizza.
• Michelle (5/5): Rooms need refurbishment - The place Bathrooms need refurbishing.skirting is all broken and shower door is broken too .bed not comfortable .very poor breakfast
• Francisco (10/5): - Very nice personnel, food was amazing, very nice place for a quiet stay, enjoy a walk around the farm animals and very close to the airport
• Sal (9/5): Superb -
• Micallef (10/5): Exceptional -
• Micallef (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angela (10/5): We are grateful for the owner’s kindness and welcome for the young children too. Excellent food - The family that run this place are wonderful and made our stay. So kind and gentle. And always helpful. We felt welcomed in to a part of their home rather than staying at a hotel.
• Master (10/5): Perfecto - Food was good , people are nice too We had some issues with the AC but as soon we reported it the came and fix it
• Jonathan (9/5): Superb -
• Ryan (10/5): - 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.
• Michael (8/5): 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.
• 763hr (2/5): Absolutely terrible, do not book here if you have any sense. They charged me £260 for a 3 night stay that i could not at - Absolutely terrible, do not book here if you have any sense. They charged me £260 for a 3 night stay that i could not attend when a family member of mine passed away at short notice, instead of charging the usual one night no show fee. I asked if i could stay on another date instead and they ranted about how much money they lost because i didn’t turn up and that the best they could possibly do is offer me a mere 20% of my ‘next’ booking with them (i will definitely not be staying there, ever) for a stay of over 3 nights minimum. The whole experience has left a very bad taste in my mouth and i have felt like i’ve been treated like a money machine instead of an actual customer. When I explained to them i would have to write a review regarding this they began threatening me and saying my review was going to be a false review and defamation and that they where going to report me to the police. I am honestly shocked as I myself worked previously at a hotel and never did we ever charge customers for their entire stay if they weren’t able to make it, only for their first night. Very unprofessional and to be honest i don’t want them even having my card details as it seems they will go to any lengths just to get money off of people and they lack morals. Upset by the entire experience and felt their attitude was extremely unsavoury and their behaviour with randomly taking £260 out of my bank account 3 days into the stay when that money had only been in my account a few minutes shows that they just have been sat there, constantly trying to extract the money from my account. All in very bad taste

• Johann (8/5): Very good -

• FilipP_11 (10/5): The most incredible place for a wedding - We went for our friends wedding, with our 2yrs old daughter. The food is incredible, all the products are local, their jams made of oranges and passion fruit are to die for! The chefs in the kitchen and the pizza master are very talented and their food is exceptional! Wood fired oven pizzas are some of the best I ever had in my life! the location is a dream, everything was renovated by Marco and his father with the help of Signora Enza and their daughter. Behind the reception you can see the pictures of where they started from. Seeing the dreamlike location they have built together is incredible. The porcelain and the old family furniture in the big dining hall came out of a dream, literally, you could spend the whole day looking and wandering about the stories behind every little piece. The attention to detail is on point, from the very clean and tidy rooms to the swimming pool area passing through the garden and the orange orchard. Our daughter couldn't be happier in the playground and running around the whole place. Marco and his mother Enza are the best host! They are very helpful and ready to fulfill every request, even of a picky 2yrs old eater. We couldn't compliment and thank them enough. The staff is great and they work really hard to make everything perfect. Our friends wedding was even more magical thanks to the professionalism of everyone working there. We fell in love with every single detail. We can't wait to come back and visit you over and over again.we Strongly recommend it!!!!
• Silvan (5/5): Passable - Breakfast is very poor especially when it's an Agriturismo
• Pamela (9/5): Superb - Very clean, delicious food and very nice staff :)
• 455noelf (10/5): Very quite and lot of space - Rooms are clean, the staff very helpful and we enjoyed sharing some discussions with them. The food was excellent, we liked the their preparations and the food is locally, the taste is excellent. The pool are is of good space and we loved spending some time in the pool too. I will rely recommend this place to stay
• Nathalie (5/5): Excellent location for those who want to relax in quiet surroundings with no frills - it was peaceful and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A la carte food was excellent with an extensive choice of mouth watering pizzas and good value for money. The breakfast selection was very limited and when items finished they were not replenished even though we specifically asked. Swimming pool was not available throughout the whole day but closed in the afternoon.
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bernice (7/5): Disappointed with the room, could be more clean - Food was good I have stayed here several times, however very disappointed with this stay.  Rooms need a major uplift, and needs to be more clean! Sink and shower need to be scrubbed – is dirty and has mold .  Sink without tap hole cover- inside of wardrobe dusty-walls not clean and paint scraping off.  Room so humid and full of mosquitos.  Very disappointed definitely not worth the money!
• Steffen (8/5): if you are seeking a quiet simple space to do nothing much but eat well then this is it. - We needed a location outside of Catania close to shops and this was just perfect. if I do come here, come hungry. The food was divine. The staff very friendly. Price for the room could be slightly cheaper as the huts are very simple. However in the end it was all worth it. We might come again to simply spend 2 days by the pool which this time round we didn’t even manage to use.
• Charles (8/5): Very good - charming farmhouse with very obliging staff
• Tanja (9/5): Superb - Perfect stay with kids - big farm with lots of animals around. Personnel and restaurant very kids friendly
• Caruana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eric (10/5): Wonderful Place - Super cute and pretty agriturismo near Catania - the folks who operate this are very friendly and considerate.
• Lex (9/5): Nice place - Nice place Hard to find ;)
• Mandy (10/5): Exceptional - It is a very beautiful agriturismo and it exceeded our expectations! 🙂 The staff is very helpful. Also, the food is delicious and fresh. The bungalow was very comfortable. The animals are nice especially Federico 🙂 Thank you!
• Del55555 (8/5): Great stay , good value & service - Fantastic value , ( people who complain want 5* for 3* prices), its a farm .... local products, Family run. Staff could not do enough for you , had a few small problems on arrival ,but sorted out straight away. Pizzas fantastic, Al la cart not so Don't know why you need swimmers pool caps ? & single beds could be tied together for double. Stop you falling down the hole.
• Charlo (6/5): Pleasant -
• Nikita (5/5): Passable -
• Vardit (8/5): Beutifull hotel in middle of fields - Nice place in unic location far from main road
• 738maried (4/5): farmhouse stay - Although the restaurant was quite good and the pool area was very clean and taken care of. The rooms were very dirty and not cleaned enough. the grounds too were not cleaned at all. We had to pay the total amount before checking in, even if we were staying for 4 nights and we arrived very late at night with two young children.
• Maurizio (10/5): Più che un semplice soggiorno - Quando vai in un agriturismo devi essere consapevole che sei in una struttura agricola che si è organizzata per offrire ospitalità e comfort. Il Giardino del Sole è riuscita a garantire comfort, qualità e ospitalità con un ristorante eccellente a costi davvero contenuti, colazione con prodotti eccezionali della loro terra, persone con le quali scambiare qualche chiacchiera è un grande piacere ed un servizio di qualità, cortese e professionale. Ci tengo a dedicare un pensiero alla proprietaria con la quale abbiamo chiacchierato una sera. Una persona innamorata del suo lavoro, della sua terra e che si prodiga per rendere il soggiorno agli ospiti il migliore possibile. Grazie perché continuate a garantire standard di soggiorno a misura d’uomo senza un lusso ostentato, finto ed impersonale, ma donate umanità e attenzione. Sarà per me sempre un immenso piacere essere ospite presso la vostra struttura.
• Ada (10/5): Soggiorno - Bellissima esperienza in mezzo alla natura...personale molto simpatico e gentilissimo...esperienza da rifare al più presto...per chi ama la natura consiglio...grazie per averci fatto vivere una esperienza bellissima
• Cristina (2/5): Mancanza di chiarezza dei servizi offerti - Al check-in ci hanno detto che la colazione non era compresa anche se prenotata e pagata, offrendola quindi a pagamento. Solo successivamente hanno confermato la prenotazione della colazione. Al momento dell'accesso in piscina scopriamo che l'entrata era consentita solo previo pagamento di biglietto e cuffia. Basiti in quanto non specificato da nessuna parte al momento della prenotazione e solo dopo discussione, la signora ha scelto di farci pagare solo le cuffie.
• B439SGjackiec (10/5): Great relaxing break - It's ideal from run away from the hectic life. The place is very peaceful, quiet, amazing. The rooms are cosy, and the front private area with the table and chairs is really given that relaxing touch. The walks around, the animals and their amazing sound, large areas of trees enjoy the smell of oranges. Otto the dog is very friendly, the cats, horses, cows, pigs, sounds of the birds it's really an amazing experience, go there for sure. Away from the cars and their noise. The Owners and their team are Giuseppe was indescribable. They had everything how it should be, food, breakfast, drinks they made us feel at home. It's really great for families, couples as it's rest of mind.
• A4512IXtonys (10/5): Wonderful place - A very wonderful and quiet place to stay. Good food. Beautiful large rooms including the bathroom. White and really fresh linen. Children play area. Very large swimming pool. Wonderful family. Keep up the good work
• DaphneTanti (10/5): A wonderful stay at Giardino del Sole - highly recommended! - We have just returned from a wonderful break at Giardino del Sole. The place is very welcoming, the rooms are spacious, very well kept and very clean. The place is run by a wonderful family who are very helpful and friendly. It is a perfect place for families with young children. The food was delicious. Also, being coeliac, they took great care in providing me with gluten-free food (which was amazing!) and they were very careful to avoid cross-contamination. They also prepared a gluten-free table for me for breakfast (which included a very good lemon cake). We highly recommend the place and hope to be back soon!
• eleawilson (10/5): perfect choice - we received a relaxed and friendly welcome at il giardino. It is in a peaceful and beautiful location and less than 30 minutes from the airport. We enjoyed an excellent 3 course evening meal which was also very good value. and although breakfast was a bit sparse it was sufficient. We had had a comfortable night and were sorry that we could not stay for longer. We would love to return there one day.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Ligging midden in een sinaasappel boomgaard. Restaurant op het complex. Fraai zembad.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
• liamhayden (10/5): The Gem of Sicily - Beautiful wooden cabins with AC and modern/rustic bathrooms, exceptional 100% organic food (the best in Sicily in my opinion), and on the farm the property is situated on, many types of animals can be seen - from black pigs to horses, chickens to peacocks in the farm’s animal section; various fruit and vegetable trees are in this this tranquil and pleasant location. The restaurant can cater for people with allergens like my mother who is gluten-free (please do consult the extremely friendly staff for more information). There are many fruit trees that cover almost the entire farm like the olive trees or the most common closest to and around the cabins/main property: the beautiful orange trees. There is also a fairly large outdoor swimming pool for everybody and a mini-park for children. WiFi is best accessible in the the courtyard (dinner area), the reception, or the pool. It is an amazing place to switch off and relax! Now let’s get on to the incredible people that make this property what it is. We have never stayed in a place with such friendly and helpful hosts! Enza, Giuseppe and the rest of the team were extremely accommodating and very helpful in all aspects, and all the staff definitely deserve many rewards! The property is only about 15-20 minutes from Catania Fontanarossa Airport, and 30 minutes from Catania, 45 minutes from Siracusa, so it is quick and easy to access, but still long enough away from cities and is perfectly in the countryside. It is also fairly close (maybe 10 minutes by car) to the nearest beach and about 5-10 minutes from Carlentini which has some shopping facilities. Il Giardino del Sole has captured my heart and I cannot wait to return! It is certainly the most convenient, relaxing and friendly place we have ever stayed in. Enza and Giuseppe, you should be extremely proud of this amazing place!
• V6153BXs (10/5): Superb continental experience - Good continental food, thankful owners, we felt very welcome.😊 When we arrived at a non-conventional time of day we got some good ad-hoc Sicilian food 👌On departure we got some good go-to tips like the Roman Villa at Piazza Armarina, definitly worth while.
• Antoine (8/5): - Nous avons tres bien mangé au restaurant de l’hôtel, tres pratique pour se rendre à l’aéroport de Catania tôt le matin.
• John (8/5): Hotel pratique et calme - Accueil sympa, chambre correcte dans un cadre agréable proche de Catane. Belle piscine ( mais bizarrement fermée entre 12h et 15h) . Internet très approximatif. Hotel très pratique pour l'aéroport qui est à 25 minutes en voiture.
• Pete (10/5): 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): An oasis in Sicilia - It is the best place of its kind in the surroundings of Catania (Sicily). The rooms and facilities are clean, and the personnel are very kind and helpful. We had a really great experience here!
• James (8/5): - great
• dony (8/5): 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel close to airport - Great place to stay near Catania. Family that runs the Agritourismo was wonderful! The dinner was fabulous.
