Masseria Degli Ulivi

A great spot to relax and experience typical Sicilian life. Breakfast is abundant. Will revisit the place when get the chance!

Value for your money

Location a bit middle of nowhere

Don't imagine this will be a farmstay with a friendly local family. The Masseria is a professionally run, upmarket, smallish (35 rooms) spa resort. And it is very well done. The low key accommodation blocks, built in local rural style, are unobtrusively scattered in an olive grove around a generous pool. Rooms are plain but comfortable, with a large shower room en suite. The restaurant has a lovely terrace overlooking the site where all meals are served. We ate there every night - the nearest town, Noto, is 20 minutes away - and everything we tried was excellent, the staff helpful and English speaking. An ideal spot to relax but within reach of beaches and Val di Noto historic towns.

It would have been good to have had more comfortable chairs for sitting out. A coffee machine or kettle would have been welcome.

This masseria is amazing. The room was clean and cosy. The restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner made the best pasta we’ve had during our stay in Sicily (and we had a lot) and the wines are also very good! Also the service is better than at other places. The pool area is pretty and relaxing, even when there are several guests. We really felt at home and would definitely recommend staying here.

Everything was good, the only thing is that the wifi connection can be better.
