Il Giardino del Sole is a hidden gem
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Il Giardino del Sole in Sicily, and I can’t recommend it enough! This hotel is truly amazing—the perfect blend of comfort and charm. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home. They are exceptionally friendly and kind, always ready to help with a smile. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. Now, let’s talk about the food! Every meal was magnificent and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was beautifully presented. If you’re travelling to Catania, Il Giardino del Sole is a hidden gem that you simply must visit. I can’t wait to return!

We were looking for a quiet place outside Catania and this was a perfect fit. We stayed 1 night and were able to have our lunch, dinner, and breakfast before leaving right at the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed walking around the farm to see the animals and also taking a refreshing swim in the pool.

Incredible views over to Comino. The town is quiet and near the ferries, making it easy to travel to and from. Very clean, beautiful pool and deck. Well worth getting a room with a view ocean side. Watch your step coming out of first floor rooms; some tricky steps can lead to falls.

Nice family run hotel 30 mins from Catania airport
We stayed in a ‘wood cottage’ room which was basic, clean and included TV, air conditioning, and wi-fi, perfect for our needs as we only needed to stay overnight in order to catch an early flight from Catania airport. Pizzas from the restaurant were good and breakfast included homemade preserves and fruit from their farm - very tasty. To top it all off, they very kindly opened breakfast an hour early so we could eat before driving to the airport.

Nice agriturismo stay
The farm is set among orange and olive orchards and has all sorts of animals including horses that one can ride to beach. It is also about 10 miles from Catania airport which makes it a great first or last stop on a visit to Sicily. Sadly a highway was built nearby but it is easy to forget it is there when You wander the property. Food was all homemade and exquisite (own oranges, own olives and olive oil). It is family run business - everyone but dad speaks very good English.

Clean and comforatable for the wooden cabin.
The cabin was clean. Shower is perfect. Plenty of water pressure and that is what i like. Not very soundproof though. You can hear the naber clearly but for it was no problem. Restaurant is nice and the food is as expected but only in the weekend there are pizzas. Not easy to reach by car probably a result of the new highway. Bed is good and comforatble and there is even a little refrigerator.

Più che un semplice soggiorno
Quando vai in un agriturismo devi essere consapevole che sei in una struttura agricola che si è organizzata per offrire ospitalità e comfort. Il Giardino del Sole è riuscita a garantire comfort, qualità e ospitalità con un ristorante eccellente a costi davvero contenuti, colazione con prodotti eccezionali della loro terra, persone con le quali scambiare qualche chiacchiera è un grande piacere ed un servizio di qualità, cortese e professionale. Ci tengo a dedicare un pensiero alla proprietaria con la quale abbiamo chiacchierato una sera. Una persona innamorata del suo lavoro, della sua terra e che si prodiga per rendere il soggiorno agli ospiti il migliore possibile. Grazie perché continuate a garantire standard di soggiorno a misura d’uomo senza un lusso ostentato, finto ed impersonale, ma donate umanità e attenzione. Sarà per me sempre un immenso piacere essere ospite presso la vostra struttura.

Mancanza di chiarezza dei servizi offerti
Al check-in ci hanno detto che la colazione non era compresa anche se prenotata e pagata, offrendola quindi a pagamento. Solo successivamente hanno confermato la prenotazione della colazione. Al momento dell'accesso in piscina scopriamo che l'entrata era consentita solo previo pagamento di biglietto e cuffia. Basiti in quanto non specificato da nessuna parte al momento della prenotazione e solo dopo discussione, la signora ha scelto di farci pagare solo le cuffie.
