Homestays di Sicily, Italy

Everything is top-notch. The rooms are new and everything is in excellent condition. The staff is very friendly. The only issue that might be annoying for a visitor is that the room is very noisy, meaning you can hear very clearly if your neighbor is watching TV or having a conversation, for example. This can be annoying under certain circumstances. But apart from that, everything is actually perfectly fine. There's a market in front of the hotel every day from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. – it's worth being aware of that. This means that between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., no cars can drive or park there, and everything is closed off. Fortunately, there's a large parking garage right next to the hotel where you can park your car 24/7. It's secure and the parking garage costs €12 per night (as of July 2025). Conclusion: If you're looking for a solid, minimalist, and simple hotel room in a good location and at a fair price, this is the place for you.👍

If you’re looking for a slice of paradise in Sicily, look no further than Feudo Del Biviere in Santa Ninfa. Our stay here was nothing short of magical, and it all begins with the outstanding service that made us feel like family. Dominico, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, embodying the true spirit of Sicilian hospitality. The accommodations were a dream. Our bed was incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect respite after a day of exploring. From our room, we were treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, where olive trees and winery vines stretched as far as the eye could see. The tranquility of this environment is unmatched; it’s the kind of peaceful retreat that rejuvenates the soul. One of the highlights of our stay was the delightful donkey family that resides on the property. Each time we called out their names—Daddy Donkey Carmelo, Mom Antonella, and their son Vitina—they would come trotting over when they hear calling their names, bringing smiles and laughter to our days. Their playful presence truly added a unique charm to our experience. FYI, they love apples! We are so grateful to have chosen Feudo Del Biviere for our getaway. It’s a place that feels like home, wrapped in the beauty of nature and filled with warmth. We left with full hearts and wonderful memories, already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a serene escape in Sicily! 🌿 如果你在西西里寻找一片天堂，Feudo Del Biviere，位于圣尼法，绝对是你的理想选择。我们在这里的住宿体验简直如梦如幻，一切都始于令人赞叹的服务，让我们倍感亲切。特别是多米尼科，他竭尽所能地确保我们的一切需求都得到满足，真正体现了西西里的热情好客。 我们的住宿条件如同梦想般美好。床非常舒适，为我们提供了探索一天后完美的休息。从房间里，我们可以欣赏到周围景色的壮丽，橄榄树和葡萄园一望无际。这里的宁静环境无与伦比，是一种能让心灵焕然一新的休闲胜地。 我们住宿的一个亮点是物业上可爱的驴子家庭。每当我们叫出它们的名字——爸爸驴子卡梅洛、妈妈安东内拉和他们的儿子维蒂纳时，它们都会跑过来，为我们的日子带来欢笑和快乐。它们顽皮的身影为我们的体验增添了独特的魅力。 我们非常感激选择了Feudo Del Biviere作为我们的度假之地。这里就像是一个温暖的家，环绕在大自然的美景中，充满了温情。我们带着满满的回忆和感动离开，已经开始梦想下次再来。强烈推荐这个西西里的瑰宝给任何寻求宁静逃离的人！🌿✨

Not a hotel, more like a Bnb with limited service October 2025 We booked Mia Terra expecting a hotel — but it turned out to be more of a one-man bed and breakfast. From the start, nothing went smoothly. We had decided to take up the host’s offer of an airport shuttle (not cheap), as one of us only had one evening in Palermo and every minute counted. The shuttle arrived 15 minutes late, and when we finally reached the property, no one was there to check us in, causing yet another delay — even though the host had personally arranged our transport and knew our arrival time. The host then offered excuses that didn’t line up with the shuttle driver’s story (which btw, the driver didn’t even know our destination — we had to guide him — and only accepted cash, which we weren’t told in advance.) Check-in was confusing and disorganized. Despite several text messages from the host to confirm our room setup (which should have been clear from the booking), he had still assigned the wrong rooms and once again found excuses, incorrectly blaming the booking platform. When we asked him to fix it, he was reluctant but eventually agreed — behaving as if he were doing us a favor — though he did offer free breakfast as compensation, which we didn’t need. Since there is no staff at the property. The host promised to respond to messages “within minutes,” yet replies often took hours. The whole experience felt like a single person trying to run a hotel alone — and it shows. To be fair, the rooms were clean and comfortable, although in one of them, the shower faced the bedroom through a glass wall, so you had to shower in the dark for privacy. Overall, the service and professionalism fell far short of hotel standards. If you’re expecting the reliability of an actual hotel, look elsewhere.

I will definitely go back. Practically on the sea. The beautiful beach a few meters from the bungalow. Excellent cleaning. Friendly and pleasant staff. Large green spaces. Restaurant and tobacconist. Nearby there are restaurants, bars and a Lidl reachable in a few minutes by car. Bus stop for Catania center right at the entrance of the structure. Airport 5 minutes away.

Excellent Stay with Great Location and Stunning Views I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic—just a 16-minute walk from the train station and about 15-20 minutes on foot to the island’s main attractions. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean， with the added bonus of being close to the sea. It even had two balconies, allowing us to enjoy the lovely views and fresh air. What made our stay even better was the friendly and helpful staff. They were always welcoming and went out of their way to assist us whenever needed. Here’s an updated version of your review that includes the negative aspects while maintaining a balanced and professional tone: --- **Great Location & Beautiful Room, but Noise Can Be an Issue** I had a mostly pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—just a **16-minute walk from the train station** and **15-20 minutes to the island’s main attractions**. The room itself was **spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated**, with the added benefit of being **close to the sea** and featuring **two balconies**. The staff were also **very friendly and helpful**, which enhanced our experience. However, there was one major downside: the walls are extremely thin. We could easily hear noises from the hallway and stairwell. On our last night, the neigh-boring room was very loud, which disrupted our sleep and unfortunately put a damper on an otherwise great trip.

非常不錯的酒店，位置十分的好，就在老城區旁邊，對面就是沙灘，這次入住的是他們家的套房酒店，有獨立的廳，房間很大，而且有一個非常大的露台可以享受陽光和曬衣服，很推薦哦。唯一美中不足的是，酒店不提供代客泊車服務，切法盧停車需要車技，且因對禁行取不熟悉，容易開錯路。

⭐️Exceptional stay & wonderful hospitality⭐️ I had such a lovely stay at Dimora degli Archi and would happily return. The accommodation is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, comfortable and in a fantastic location in the heart of Terrasini. What really made my stay exceptional, however, was the hospitality. Rossella was incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and she was always available to offer advice or help with arrangements. As a solo traveller, I felt very comfortable and well looked after throughout my stay. The location was also perfect for me, with restaurants, cafés and the centre of Terrasini within easy walking distance, while Palermo Airport is conveniently close by. Rossella also helped me arrange a wonderful local driver, Tony, who was fantastic. I was only staying for a short visit to attend a wedding nearby, but I genuinely wish I’d had longer to enjoy both the accommodation and Terrasini. A beautiful property with exceptional hospitality. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Dimora degli Archi again or recommend it to others. Thank you, Rossella, for making my short stay such a lovely one! ♥️

I am having a hard time writing this review as we actually enjoyed our stay at La chiusa, location, staff and food was good. However, I suffered a severe bug bite attack at night and the management of the hotel is turning all responsibility away from them. My whole body, face, legs, arms, neck are full with red marks from the bites, the itch is unbearable! I kindly asked for a statement and refund for the situation but at first I got “it looks like mosquito bites” and then they kept explaining their cleaning procedures and gave us the responsibility for the situation that we would have brought them with us. Also they did not see any reason to pay any compensation for the situation. Nothings for time spent at doctors, creams or refund for the room. NOTHING. Just the situation for us to deal with the itchy bites. I am 100% sure that the bugs have been there before we came, I even saw one before going to sleep (not knowing it is a bed bug) thinking that it is a remote location and it can happen that a bug enters the room. When checking the next morning for the bites I realized that it was a bed bug what I have seen and the marks over my body show enough evidence.

We picked Antico Borgo Etneo for a weekend getaway with friends – me and my Italian partner, two Chinese friends, and their 5-year-old daughter. We arrived with no big expectations and left with a promise to come back. The place has that authentic charm that makes you feel at home right away, nestled among citrus groves and vineyards with a stunning view of Mount Etna. The rooms are simple but cozy, clean, and with that rustic vibe that really works. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise: homemade cakes, jams made from local fruit, and freshly squeezed juices – a perfect energy boost to start the day. The little one had a blast running around the garden, and we adults enjoyed some much-needed relaxation under the trees. The location is great for exploring the area: Taormina, the Alcantara Gorges, and the beaches are all just a short drive away. In short: no over-the-top luxury, but genuine hospitality and an atmosphere that makes you slow down and enjoy every moment. Perfect for those who want authenticity without the frills. We’ll definitely be back – maybe in summer to make the most of the outdoor spaces.

THIS WAS THE BEST CHOICE I DID IN SICILY. First, this is the cleanest place I saw in my trip. They ask you every morning if you want a cleaning when they bring you breakfast. The bathroom/shower room is modern and same as the picture. The body soap, shampoo, conditioner was a Sicily one that was very nice of them. The public space was so good, they had balcony so it would be great to take pictures for instagram. Secondly, the breakfast. Insanely great. You can choose 2 things from about 15 types of dishes such as sandwiches or yogurt or fruits. For drink you can pick 1 from about 15 types such as cappuccino or hot chocolate. They have milk choices like oat milk and almond milk that is amazing in this price. For spread, you can choose 2 from about 10 types such as honey or Nutella or almond butter or many flavors of jam. For a dessert, you can choose a cake from 2 or 3 types they have that day. You can choose where you want to eat room or public space. Thirdly, the staffs were a lot more kind and friendly then the average of sicily. Nice place absolutely recommend!!
