This was our second stay at this lovely property. Cristina, the owner, is beyond welcoming and helpful. She can give you great information about the area. The property is so peaceful. It’s a great location for a base to explore Ortigia, Noto, Marzamemi etc. It is wonderful to take a morning sightseeing trip and then return to the property for an afternoon swim and sit under the olive trees to read a book. Our kitchenette had all the basics. Plenty of space to unpack and organize your things. Very clean. Ask Cristina to send you to her neighbor for some fresh ricotta (so good)!

Cristina give us a very warm welcome and our apartment was ideal for our trip to this part of Sicily. It's a very easy drive to Siracusa and Ortigia which we visited several days. Cristina was also able to recommend a local vineyard to taste wine, the local wine is very good. The apartment was small but well equipped and the outside terrace was very welcome on the hotter days. The pool is absolutely lovely, a perfect size and very peaceful. Both Cristina and her helper Nevas were very patient as we attempted to learn a little Italian.

A minor point but a few more hangers for our clothes would have been helpful. Also access to a washing machine would have been useful, but honestly neither point was a real problem.

Cristina and Maria will make you feel at home... only much better! The property is a beautiful working farm with lovely olive trees hundreds of years old. The farm buildings have been carefully renovated with lovely wood accents (when you close those wonderful window shutters, be sure to set your alarm or you may sleep all day!) plus a roomy, tiled bathroom. The room has thoughtful touches like a pod coffee machine, lights on the bedside tables and drying racks out front for your swimsuits, etc. You'll enjoy sitting with coffee on the covered porch in front of your room and the view of the swimming pool and the olive trees. Cristina truly made us feel at home, offering a great map full of her favorite local restaurants and sights. And Maria, Cristina's mother, is your new Italian Grandmother that everyone wishes they had. Thank you all for a fabulous time. Everyone should experience hospitality and care like at Sant'Elia! We did not want to leave... ever!

I must admit that I am very spoiled by a memory foam mattress at my home and I did miss it.

We had the great fortune of spending two nights at Christina's agriturismo, which turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Christina's warm personality permeates the entire place. She provided invaluable tips for planning our days. The pool became a refreshing oasis. Our children loved it, and so did we. "Make yourselves at home," Christina said. And we truly did. Highly recommended!

Super friendly host! She was in love with our 1 year old son. The garden is beautiful with a big pool. The appartement was clean.

We stayed for a full week, a new set of towels would have been better. We missed the agri experience a bit, we didn’t tasted anything from the land.

This was the first place we stayed at in Sicily with our 2-year old, and probably the best. We stayed in one of the apartments. Cristina was very welcoming and helpful, very much the right personality to be in this business. The place is well kept, the pool is great and we loved the ability to sit outside our front door with a view of the pool. There’s ample space inside and also outside. Wifi is also the fastest we’ve seen in Sicily (Starlink, ~200 mpbs).

The accomodation was very nice, beautiful swimming pool and terrace for our appartment. Nice and friendly host who gave us recommendations for trips in the neigbourhood. Location was close to syracuse and beaches.

Bed was too solid for our taste.

This is a lovely agriturismo in a great location not only 15 mins from Siracusa. We chose it to get away from the city for a few days and we got a peaceful, beautiful spot in the country. Christina, the host, is very helpful and friendly and a great person to chat to - thank you.

Christina, the owner, is very warmly. She gave us tips for excursions and restaurants in the environment. The rooms are nice and very clean, the pool is great.

There is no possibility to have breakfast at the agriturismo so unless you book an apartment, you have to go to the bakery every morning. Luckely, there are great bakery stores close by.

Wonderful property faithfully restored. The owner, Cristina, was very welcoming and informative. She and her assistant were always friendly and responsive. The small apartment we had (one bedroom with bathroom and small kitchen) was perfect… very clean and also there was a lot of storage space for unpacking, lots of shelves and a large wardrobe. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was sparkling clean.
