The Borgo Alcantara

“This is a pleasant little hotel and the location is good for heading inland or back to coastal resorts including Taormina. Plenty of space round the pool, not much noise from the road, a small lounge area inside. You need to pre-order dinner from a restricted menu but the food was pretty good. My main complaint is that the Classic Room we stayed in was not like the picture on the website. The was no balcony and no nice view. So if you book a Classic Room, request room numbers 3-6 (or just specify it must be like the photo!). I think 1,2,7 and 8 are like ours, with a window looking straight into the entrance path. We kept the curtain closed as anyone walking past was looking straight into the room.”

“My family and I recently stayed here for 4 nights and we loved every second of it. I love the location, the resort is so quaint, original, antique, very sicilian and we loved it all! The pool was clean and the area around it. Rooms were big and spacious. The staff is awesome, love that its family owned and run. The breakfast included was good, just nothing hot, but there was a toaster to toast bread, and dinner was good too too! Overall, great experience we would definitely recommend this place to others and hope to be back one day!”

“We visited for Dinner. We then returned the following night because the food was so good! It’s an Agritourismo hotel so don’t expect an extensive menu. We had a choice between two in each of starter, primo and secondo courses. As we arrived on the first evening we caught a glimpse of the Nona’s in the kitchen, a sure sign that we would have some excellent food. We were not disappointed! You must have the gelato…”

“The rooms definitely need a little sprucing up. But I can understand the price is reasonable for what you get. The food is from five star chef Michelin’s beautiful and very affordable.”

“Cool agriturismo with delicious buffet-style breakfast and hospitable service. The rooms are practical and clean. You have the option of dining with them in the evening. They offer a different 4-course dinner every day. If you are travelling by car, it is a good place to stay and do excursions from there. Highly recommended!”
