Lovely bnb in a beautifully restored building, and peaceful setting, but it’s more than that. Delicious breakfast - eggs, breads, homemade jams, cheese, salami, yogurt, coffee, tea. Dinner can be ordered sometimes ( service charge) and we had delicious pizza one night. Our room “Magnolia” was spacious and comfortable with a jacuzzi bath (& shower), 2 small sofas, a table to eat at, a refrigerator, sink, eating dishes & utensils, an induction stove with 2 burners (a few cooking pots) AND a lovely private terrace with a table & chairs. There’s a barbecue that guests can use, too. Wine, home grown herbs and home made olive oil available for purchase. The grounds were beautiful, several places to sit & relax inside and out, the pool was inviting but too cold to swim in late Oct. The staff were superb - went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We even got a personal tour of the farm from the manager (we asked about the olive oil). Sicilian hospitality! Thank you Luigi, Valentina, Josie and Paolo! We can’t wait to return!!

We liked everything! A recommendation to guests is to arrive during daylight and use Google maps, because Apple Maps sent us to the wrong place the first day…there are a few signs to the bnb once you’re in the area but in the dark it’s not as easy…but we learned the way very quickly after that.

The staff there are so helpful and friendly. We felt like we were at home! It was a great relaxing stay there that we did not really go out. We stayed by the pool and relaxed in the outside area also a very big open space inside where the kids could play. Guzi, the helper made sure that we all had a good breakfast and that the area was always clean, we had great conversations and also played with the kids. Luigi made sure that he came everyday and that everything was ok with our rooms and our stay.. we also had the pleasure to meet his son and he played with our kids. I would definately visit again and recommend this villa. As a plus there is lots of nature, horses, cows that you can see. Also there is a big super market just 9 mins away! Thank you for making our stay a memorable one! :)

We had the pool to ourselves, breakfast was friendly and delicious and it was authentic and comfortable. It was laid back and the staff were wonderful. A lovely spot for 3 days.

Getting there - the say nav gets it wrong. It’s a bit tricky, even when you have been there already… could just be me 🫤 when booking id ask Paulo to drop you a pin rather than rely on you own map website directions. It really is a lovely, reasonably prices place to spend time as a family and it’s easy and relaxing.

Villa Bentivoglio is a little rural retreat with the loveliest people looking after it and us. Breakfast was outstanding with fresh local produce and a considerable selection to choose from. We are sorry we didn’t get the opportunity to visit their produce gardens which would have been wonderful, but we were a little short of time to visit the amazing Vila Romana del Casale nearby. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, as are the bathrooms.

There is lithium g not to like!

We left Taormina after breakfast and arrived at the Villa Romana del Casale before noon. The remains of the 4th century villa is definitely a unique stop while touring the island. Leaving the villa, it was a short drive through Piazza Armerina to the beautiful B&B Villa Bentivoglio. Our B&B hosts, Valentina & Luigi, welcomed us to their beautiful, typical Sicilian country home. The whole time we were with this lovely couple, we used the handy ‘Translate app,’ to accurately communicate. We were staying only one night so we were lodging in the recently renovated main house. After unloading luggage, Valentina offered us snacks and drink while telling us about the Villas property and amenities. She offered suggestions for dinner in Piazza Armerina, and shared there is also a pizza delivery service that will come to the villa. We drove into town, but decided to return to B&B Villa Bentivoglio without dinner, finding ourselves alone in the house. We were unsuccessful ordering from the pizza delivery service. We called Valentina and Luigi, who were in town, and explained our mess-up and asked them if they would call the delivery service for us. Our hosts offered to assist us. Foregoing dinner in town, Valentina and Luigi returned to the B&B, sharing FOUR pizzas and arancini. Luigi even opened a bottle of the wine created on their property! We were welcomed at their table as family. This 2-hour meal, communicating via the translator, was one of our favorite meals in Sicily, sharing stories and lots of laughs. The next morning, we enjoyed a hot breakfast, prepared by Giusy, by the pool. After breakfast, Luigi gave us a personal tour of the whole property, showing us the stand-alone, newly renovated guest villas, the garden and areas for future expansion. Luigi put the Land Rover in 4WD and we climbed to the top of the property to view the whole area. Luigi is very proud of the property… as he should be.

Honestly, there was nothing to not like at the B&B... the house and stand-alone villas are very comfortable and complete. Valentina and Luigi have thought of everything. Even Giusy was kind enough to gift us homemade seasonal packets for cooking once home.

This B&B is a true gem! The hospitality is exceptional, making you feel right at home. Breakfast is a feast, with a wide variety of fresh, delicious options to satisfy every palate. The rooms are immaculate and impeccably maintained. You won't find a more welcoming and comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

The property is stunning and if we had known how much we would enjoy being there, we would have stayed longer and made day trips out to the places we wanted to visit. The room was very spacious and had everything we needed. Our hosts were outstanding, from booking a table for us to eat out in the evening to providing a wonderful breakfast. This would be the perfect place for a family to base themselves for a few days and I truly hope that we will get the chance to do that with our own family in the future.

Our stay at B&B Bentivoglio was great. Guisy made us delicious breakfasts of courgette flower omelettes with fresh bread and fruit. She was so kind and helpful, using her translator app to communicate with us. We managed to do a wash of our clothes which was also very helpful. We rested and visited nearby Piazza Armerina.

It is tricky to get there by car at first.

The beds were VERY comfortable, the pool was amazing. We were fortunate enough to have scheduled it last minute while the owner and his family were there on vacation. We had a wonderful time getting to know them. Giusy prepared an amazing breakfast for us this morning. The bedrooms were large, the A/C worked great, we'll be back. Double check your GPS with the name because ours took us miles on tiny roads instead of using the highway. :)

The location is perfect if you want a quiet stay, away from the city hustle ! The room was very big and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent (with fresh fruits) The hosts Luigi and Giuzi are incredibly nice and flexible. We had a great time!

Just be aware that Piazza Armerina is not so close (15 min by car) and that you will need to drive on mountain / countryside roads
