Excellent location to tour the south east and east of Sicily. Noto, Avola, Siracusa and Ragusa all very close. Hotel is well maintained and super clean. Breakfast was a bit frugal but the pastries and cakes by Giuseppe the chef are excellent. Very nice grounds with a nice setting in olive trees. great swimming pool, all this in a nice and cosy environment. Special mention for all the staff who were super helpful. Emanuela, Claudia and Michela, Antonio and Gianni and last but not least, Valerio who is a walking encyclopedia of the area. Apart from other things he recommended a fantastic pastry shop called Fichera just 5 minutes away from the hotel. Great Pastries at great prices. Well done to all.

Not Much!! Shall surely be back.

The location was great. In the country but only a few minutes from Noto. The staff were very friendly and helpful- particularly Gianluca on reception. Luigi and Alissia, the owners, gave wonderful advice on good restaurants, an exquisite rooftop bar and places to visit. The pool area was beautiful and it was lovely having breakfast overlooking an olive grove. Our room was very spacious with a lovely outside space as well. The beach on the local nature reserve is only a few minutes away and the staff are happy to take you on the golf buggy and lend a beach umbrella- great! Loved visiting Noto, the wonderful gorge at Cava Grande di Cantabile for stunning views and crystal clear river swimming, and Marzamemi for a fabulous evening meal over the sea!

The air conditioning in our room was not very effective.

Zahir Country House is a fantastic place to unwind and recharge. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. They are attentive and truly go out of their way to ensure guests have an amazing stay. The rooms are lovely, combining traditional charm with modern comforts. Each room is uniquely decorated with beautiful artwork, adding a special touch. The food here is excellent, offering delicious, locally-sourced dishes that really highlight the flavors of the region. One of the highlights for me was the stunning pool. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun, surrounded by the serene countryside. In the evenings, the outdoor cinema is a real treat, offering a unique and cozy way to enjoy a movie under the stars. It is also conveniently located near some beautiful beaches, making it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful countryside and stunning coastlines. For anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with great amenities and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend staying here!

This hotel is beautifully designed, very chic, perfect for a quiet / romantic stay. The rooms are luxurious, comfortable and spacious. Pool is incredible and the complimentary welcome massage and added bonus! Staff were all very friendly, especially Davide on reception. There are two great restaurants within walking distance !

For a hotel of this calibre would expect complimentary water on arrival in the rooms as well as towels changed daily.

excellent location, facilities.

unfortunately it was impossible to have a coffee before the breakfast opened at 8.30. On one occasion, we needed to leave early and the staff were accommodating for an 8am coffee. otherwise it was impossible. no coffee facilities in the room or in common areas

Beautifully decorated hotel and rooms, all areas were relaxing and well thought out. The people were excellent and the food delicious and authentic. Close to many nice lidos but car necessary. They did movie nights for the children too.

Menu although excellent quality was limited and not very suitable for children who can be picky eaters

The room was perfect for a family with 2 kids Kids sleeping on the mezzanine level was great and aloud privacy between with parents bedroom Staff were kind and helpful, particularly the 2 ladies that ha dled breakfast The swimming pool is big and very nice Despite not having a restaurant for lunch or dinner there were 2 good quality restaurants within walking distance

Massage was great but the massage room and the facilities could be improved. It would have been good to have a proper place to change.. Perhaps some ambient music to cover the outside noise would be a nice addition to enhance the relaxing feel. The grounds look generally nice with garden and olive trees around, but there were some works going on and some parts had building material around.

Perfect and pleasant peaceful world where you can rest by the pool in beautiful countryside surroundings. We ate in a dinner in last evening in restaurant and it was just amazing, best food during the Sicily trip. Amazing pool with beautiful surroundings. Overall the place, the owner and whole stay was unforgettable.

In a room it was normal "hotel" room, with a little need of some renowation.

The area is excellent. Noto is a few miles away and worth visiting, as is Syracuse and Modica. (Ragusa is also supposed to be excellent). We also went to Carratois beach. Really great. Zahir House is in the middle of all this. You need a car. But it's fantastic with a great pool and great staff. They don't do dinner but there's plenty in Noto. Main tip is to go to Noto about 6pm in high season to park - Arrive around 8pm and it's a struggle. You can then see the sights and eat at 8pm. Excellent place and region. Highly recommended.

Absolutely everything. The location, the staff (Luisa, Valerio and the other young chap at the reception, sorry forgot the name and the housekeeping ladies)The room and the pool and breakfast. Also a nice walk from a nearby restaurant. Everyone was welcoming and went out of there way to make sure our stay was exceptional. Here you are not just a number but they take care of the details. They also surprised my husband with a cake on his birthday!
