A very cosy restored old house and great hosts who received us with a homemade cake

The time would fail me to tell of this place. We drove to it from Catania and arrived at the ruined church and battered buildings at the entrance. I knew the entrance could not be the full story and was not disappointed. Walking through the building entrance, dated "1843" over the arch, one arrives at a courtyard which is very elegant, with flowers and creepers on the walls, doors and windows on three sides. Behind the doors and windows are the reception, the kitchen, the main function Hall, some of the accommodation and the vast winery. There's a room off the reception which has the pizza oven. Both the kitchen and the separate pizza oven with their respective chefs produce some of the best food I have had in Italy or her Islands. No fancy stuff here, but clean, wholesome local fare. The staff were warm, friendly, accommodating and even when busy always had time for a chat or a smile. The owners were genuinely interesting people. They intend to keep developing Feudo Tudia, and shared some interesting plans. But, really, its pretty much perfect now. What I would not have given to have been there when I was 12 years old, there are no end of interesting things for adventurous children to do. The pool amongst the trees was lovely and really cooling to swim in. There was a trampoline and a zip line and swing and other kids things but what really would have got my attention at 12 years of age were the surrounding fields and hills and places to explore for miles around. I hiked the roads above the farm for days and the locals were always friendly with a wave and a toot on the car horm. The walks were scented by all the wild growing things, especially the ubiquitous sweet fennel. European bee eaters flocked also, with their beautiful chirping. The cicadas rasped constantly, sometimes near and sometimes far but the singing of the crickets at night time made up for that.

Wonderful scenery and picturesque villa. The pool was a fantastic addition! The food was superb.

Great place to stay if you find yourself in the middle of Sicily.. Super clean room, with everything you need. City center within walking distance. The breakfast included was everything we hoped for. The staff is exceptional, kudos to them!

Just a one-night stop on our road trip, but the host went out of their way to accommodate our late arrival and even surprised us with a lovely honeymoon gift. Clean, comfortable room and genuinely kind hospitality.

Perfect pit stop after a late flight into Catania. The staff stayed up for us and were very kind helping us settle in.

Great location, very nicely equiped, cozy, new. Nice owner.
