Borgo del Carato - Natural Farmhouse

I have nothing but praise for this secluded farm stay in Sicily. Rooms were very clean and nice. All staff was very friendly and the hotel is super pet friendly. Every morning we were served with a delicious breakfast made of genuine food. There are quiet places to walk surrounded with the sound of roaming cows. The only thing I can complain about is booking for rooms online. Apprently it is best to indicate the number of guests in each room even if you book a single, double, triple or quadruple room. We were charged extra for having 3 guests staying in a triple room as we didnt indicte that we wil be 3 guests in the room.

We have stayed here many times and have loved it each and every time. It is set in the middle of nowhere, with the only sounds being crickets, cowbells and children playing in the beautiful swimming pool. Very family friendly, food incredible, staff always obliging. Every inch of the place is beautiful.

First, the location. It really is "remote" so going out to dinner at night is really not a great option. That said, one of the best things about this villa is the food - we had two very good dinners at the villa and the breakfast was also a nice spread, with many fine options. The rooms vary. We were placed in a very dark room with twin beds and a bathroom that sorely needed renovation. However, the staff was very accommodating and moved us to a bigger, more lighted room off the courtyard. However, the door wouldn't lock...so after about 25 minutes of trying to fix it, they just shaved off some of the door...and that did the trick! Also of note, septic systems are fragile at the villa, so they ask you not to put toilet paper down the toilet. Overall a nice stay but with a few tweaks to the upgrading of rooms and service at the pool, it could be a real gem for relaxing and taking in the Sicilian countryside.

A place to relax and unwind. A beautiful property and ambience with friendly staff. Pool and grounds are perfect. A good breakfast selection and some nice options for the quieter dinners in. Bathrooms need a bit of TLC since you expect a bit better from a place like this.

Found in the middle of nowhere, while cycling across Sicily. Lovely hotel, feels rustic, but tasteful modernised. Great pool. Staff really looked after us, evening meal was excent. Would certainly return.

Il borghetto è sito in mezzo alla campagna siracusana ed è immerso nel silenzio. La struttura antica è molto curata, così come il giardino. La piscina è grande e ben tenuta. Vi è una deliziosa cappella e una palestra carina. Una SPA è presente, ma senza vasca. È possibile fare i massaggi e l' operatrice Diana è molto professionale. Le stanze sono confortevoli, pulitissime, il personale è gentile. Il telefono non riceve affatto, ma il wifi permette di usare internet senza problemi, ad eccezione della zona piscina. La colazione è discreta, i pasti ottimi. Tre cani e una gattina danno il benvenuto agli ospiti. La proprietaria, Lelia, è molto disponibile ad assecondare qualunque richiesta e ci ha anche fatto un omaggio a fine soggiorno. Unico neo, per quanto mi riguarda, è la mancanza di parcheggio interno alla struttura, per cui occorre lasciare l' auto all' esterno, in un'area non asfaltata e piuttosto buia. Un' insegna all' ingresso sarebbe auspicabile per trovare agevolmente il luogo all' arrivo. Nel complesso, bellissima esperienza. Consigliato.
