We loved it from the very first minute. Antonio, his family and everyone else hosting us were super welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive from the get-go. We felt right at home and were able to enjoy our stay right away. The property and its gardens are superbly well-kept and stunningly beautiful. So is the pool area, which is clean and spacious. You seldomly see such a clean pool - very inviting for the occasional swim. Our apartment was very spacious and was super clean and fully equipped with a fully functional kitchen, containing everything that we could ever need during our stay. The cherry on top was the beautiful playground right by our apartment - our daughter loved it. Antonio, thank you and your beautiful family for having us and making our stay as pleasant as it was and really special one.

- beautiful pool and garden - having your own patio and kitchen - very kind host (Antonio) - supermarket/bakery/restaurants/beach on walking distance - only 8 apartments all together makes it cozy

- they could better add the costs for renting pool towels in the fee, than asking €5 for each extra (old) towel - the bed could use a new mattress (and the bed makes noise) - the sunbeds at the pool would be more comfortable with mattresses

Great gardens and pool were fantastic, the location was very good 15-20min drive to Syracause and similar to Noto, also some great hikes in the area. We only spent 4 nights there however there was so much to see we could have stayed longer. The staff were very friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome.

The room size wasn’t as big as other similar places however this didn’t matter as the use of the outdoor space more than compensated for this as we spent most of our time eating outside, using the bbq facilities and relaxing around the pool.

We had an incredible week here, just the most relaxing holiday ever. The grounds and pool were beautiful, so well maintained and peaceful. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. We slept very well and enjoyed our breakfasts on the terrace. Staff were lovely, friendly but not intrusive. Service felt personal. Perfect place to use as a base for exploring Sicily. Would absolutely come back here in a heartbeat.

Nada

Everything. Quiet seclusion but not too far from the beach of Fontane Bianche or the small town of Cassibile. Antonio and family have put a great deal of thought and effort into producing a wonderful place to stay. The whole site is a haven of quiet and superbly maintained. The rooms have good facilities for self-catering and are comfortable. Antonio is a very friendly and informative host who is often on hand to give advice about places to visit in the area. The property is in an excellent position for 20 minute trips to Syracuse or Noto. Both are well worth a visit for their architecture and history and for some excellent restaurants and cafes. Syracuse has a river running through it and a port/harbour. Noto is on a hillside. Both have streets that are great for a stroll.

Absolutely nothing to dislike

Our time in Casal Sikelio was really exceptional. Antonio and his family (including the cats), were very welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay special. The apartments are beautiful, extremely clean and well equipped. The grounds are really beautiful. This is less a review and more a thank you for having us.

Nothing

This family run apartment had a lovely vibe. Receptionist who welcomed us was more than happy to help. We had the pleasure of meeting and being welcomed by the hosts family. Gardens were wonderfully kept and the pool was overwhelminngly exceptional. Clean, fantastic size, good depth so kids felt water confident. Apartment was cleaned everyday, air con great, sofa bed good for two tall children. Very chilled and friendly vibe, we had 10 lovely days here. 5 mins walk from sdomw shops/restaurants and 10/15 min walk to beach, lots of car park space if you have a car.

We absolutely loved Casal Sikelio. The owner was wonderful, so friendly and helpful. The place is very peaceful and has such an interesting history. We loved the grounds and the pool was beautiful.The location is great, centrally located to visit Marzamemi, Noto, Siracusa and a number of really nice nature reserves. We had planned to stay three nights but ended up staying five nights because we liked it so much. This was our favorite of the seven places we stayed in our three weeks in Sicily. Highly recommended!!

The property is very beautiful with a big and clean swimming pool. The location was very good, near beach, supermarkets and nice bars and restaurants. The rooms are nice with equipped kitchen. The staff are very helpful, as it runs by a family, the feeling of being at home is there. We faced a situation that was necessary to buy some specific medicines, the owner helped me a lot, he took me to doctor at 11 pm to get the description.

If I want to mention something, I can say just about the sofa bed, that was not very comfortable.

Great facilities - pool was big, clean and perfect for relaxing by after a long day - the whole setting was beautiful. Staff were very welcoming and offered local recommendations from restaurants to beaches to days out. Room was a good size, AC worked and the room had a nice little private outside space with good seating. Just a shame we didn’t stay long enough to make use of the communal BBQ! Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing - honestly can’t find anything to pick up on.
