beautiful hotel
This is a beautiful set up, a former carob farm in the Sicilian countryside converted to a hotel and spa. It is like a film set, its stunning. We had a lovely stay here. My criticism would be that the room was not as smart as I expected. The shower curtain was mouldy, one of the lights did not work and although spacious, our room had nowhere to sit. It would have been nice to have a balcony or an area to just sit and appreciate the surroundings. The staff are lovely and help wherever they can. There is a spa but it did not seem to be really functioning. The hotel should put more info in the rooms about the treatments on offer, the costs and timings etc. It's a lovely place and needs to promote itself more to its guests.

Fabulous hotel.
Superb hotel in a lovely location.our room was huge situated on the second floor,with views across the fields.there is only 15 rooms in this old converted farmhouse,so most of the time we had the pool to ourselves.the food was quality and plenty of it and nothing was too much for the staff if we needed anything.we were part of the family which included playing with the dogs and birthday parties.on the middle week end we were invited to a family birthday party at the hotel.a fantastic evening.on our last day we had a few hours to wait for our flight,but the manager said there was no rush we could leave when we were ready.fantastic holiday,lovely people,marvellous location.

A fantastic host and someone who has created the most amazing hotel. It may be slightly out of the way but it is well worth the effort. Great food and an amazing pool. You will not want to leave. I wish more people would create such an experience.

Peace, Quiet, Character and Charm
This year we visited Borgo del Carato four times. The second we walked in on our first visit and feasted our eyes on its charming courtyard, the beautiful dining hall and lounge and the magnificent pool we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. This is an old hamlet, tastefully and carefully restored and run as a sort of boutique hotel by its wonderful owner, Luigi, who works extremely hard to ensure that all his guests have a pleasant and relaxing stay. It is located in the middle of nowhere, with only the sounds of the cows, goats and horses in the surrounding farms interrupting the silence, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. Chef Alessio is creative and obliging, and our lunches and dinners there were always mouthwatering. We left our wedding dinner for 84 guests on his capable hands and we were blown away- nothing but complements for this talented young man. The rooms are beautifully done up whilst maintaining many of the original features and they are comfortable, with good quality mattresses ensuring a great night's sleep. the staff are polite and helpful, including one particular waitress, Giusi, whose patience and care were commendable. Nothing but praise for this wonderful little gem that we are so fortunate to have discovered. We look forward to visiting each year.
