Borgo del Carato - Natural Farmhouse

We booked this magical resort/spa for our wedding and from the picture perfect structure to the absolutely Devine grounds and comfortable rooms, this place will leave an everlasting memory. Perfect for a romantic getaway and a memorable family event. The dedicated staff and management and owners will stop at nothing to leave you with a lifelong memory.

The accommodations were rustic and consistent with an out of the way Italian experience.. You are located at 10 to 15 in a drive from the local town of Noto so it is not within walking distance. I was travelling with a bike tour along with 15 other individual bicycle riders +2 individuals from the tour company. I would’ve given this resort four stars however I was taken advantage of when I purchased an after dinner liquor for the entire group. The tour operator confirmed that the value of the liquor was perhaps €10-€15 at most while I was charged €80 for 20 extremely small shots (less than an ounce each) provided in small paper cups. Even the tour operator said he was embarrassed to let me know how much I was to be charged. This obvious gouge suggest to me that the owner may take advantage financially of his guests in other areas. Beware.

Such a beautiful venue but oh so tired!! The rooms are basically falling apart- which actually is not great value when you’re spending €280 for 2 nights. The breakfast was quite frankly abysmal- they can’t even make you a real cup of coffee which is available anywhere in Italy. Also- if you have a room above the courtyard- forget about getting any sleep as you can hear all the other guests and especially the staff who, even though they were very nice- are happy chatting and making noise at all hours. Sadly won’t be coming back.

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 went last week for family wedding stayed in ANNA as classic suite, yes staff are friendly, yes the building is nice but this suite is rubish and not worth €305 a night, breakfast a maximum 2 stars hotel quality if not one, room had sofa never been cleaned before the qyluality of the room below standard of any European 2 stars hotel .....I leave the photo to for you to highlight the low standard you will get

A truly delightful stay. Borgo del Carato is beautifully restored, and located in beautiful surroundings. The first thing that struck us is how the air is rich with the scent of orange and wisteria blossom and the garden in the morning full of birdsong. The team were all friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to make our stay smooth and comfortable. And the food is delicious, with an excellent breakfast (the cakes deserve special mention) and a superb five course evening meal made of fresh local ingredients. Overall we couldn’t be happier with our stay. My only regret is that we only booked for two nights - I would love to come back for longer.
