The staff were very friendly, and I had a unique experience given the location of the monastery. It is a very quiet and peaceful place, and even though it is summer, the location remains quite cool.

The hotel boasts extraordinary vintage architecture set against the stunning backdrop of the Sicilian countryside. The food is exceptional, with many ingredients sourced directly from the garden. The host's family so warm and welcoming while respecting guests' personal space, making the stay perfect.

Amazing Abbazia with fascinating history; very special. We had great aperitivo before dinner and very interesting tour around the Abbey thenext morning after breakfast. I was visiting for the second time and I was as impressed as the first time. Grazie mille

The evening meal was disappointing compared to the meals served 2 years ago.

Everything was exceptional but the meal. The staff is wonderful and helpful

Limited choice at breakfast, but maybe as we were the only guests staying.

The Abbey is a beautiful old building, the staff were fantastic, lovely evening meals, would love to stay again. One of the best, if not the best, places I've stayed at.

Still retains the. Harm and character of the old Abbey

My only moan is that due to how the place was operated, the availability of refreshements throughout the day were extremely limited. Lunch and an evening meal were however available to guests, as a set menu.

A truly special place, like nothing you've ever stayed in or will ever stay at. Beautiful, peaceful, tranquil and spiritual. The hosts (owners) made you feel very welcome and often had time for a conversation.

I really can't put into words how magnificent my stay here was - its just incredible and unique Nothing can be measured against it.

Access to the hotel was not for the faint-hearted as the Italian roads are not well maintained

The abbey was enormous, peaceful and serene. It was set up high with beautiful views over surrounding countryside. We had a guided tour of the buildings which was fascinating. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The swimming pool was lovely and set in a private grassy area. The food was excellent and served at a long table which was very sociable.

The local roads were dreadful- not the hotel's fault but made it hard to reach from Catania. Not much else to do nearby and certainly not on Sunday. There was a lot of noise in the long corridor which echoed about the hard surfaces - had to earplug one night when children were running about. Don't eat in on Friday if you don't like seafood. But staff lovely and helpful.

A wonderful historical building formerly a monastery. We had a lovely big old room with a huge bathroom. Very comfortable bed - simple furnishings. Breakfast buffet was enjoyable - all sat along a communal long table - bit of a wait at the coffee machine sometimes. One delightful evening meal. Great guided tour of the building

Dinner was a bit formal at a large table.

Amazing sense of history. Beautiful architecture, not overly restored. Unique experience.

There’s a lot to say wonderful stay Marta, Marcela (I think) her son the other lady (two kids 18&15) Giulios (chef) and everyone we got across made our stay memorable.

The satnav route to the abbey is on small uneven roads. Avoid the 108 and take the 35.. it goes directly to the Abbey & is a much better road

The abbey is extraordinary and is being lovingly restored. We were given a detailed tour by well informed and friendly staff

Wonderful Abbazia, with a long history - charming buildings

Nothing!

This place is amazing! It's like living in a piece of history. The hallways are huge, but the rooms are well isolated from any noise. We got a tour of the place upon arrival and it was fascinating to learn about the history of the place. The bed is super comfortable and the room and bathroom was big. The pool is a great modern touch in the summer heat! Breakfast was nice with very fresh and juicy fruit.

That we didn't stay longer! Also, google takes you through a farmers home! DON'T GO THAT WAY!! There are signs to the abby kn the road, They were a light green and a bit faded, but once we looked up from google maps, we found it.

Loved that it was in the mountains, away from everything and everyone! Loved the Abbey and the vibe of its age and history! Rooms were comfortable! A little warm, but if you asked for a fan the staff was accommodating!! great pool! Beautiful grounds! Breakfast was so wonderful, Simone (sp) was very patient with us!! Marta gave us a great tour and helped get a last minute wine tasting reservations! The Abbey is perfect for weddings! I honestly cant say enough about it. LOVED EVERYTHING!!! Photos don't do it justice!! If my phone didn't land in the med with me i would have photos to share!!!
