Villa dei Papiri is a beautiful, peaceful property. We had great difficulty finding it as the signage in the rural areas is difficult. As a result we found an electronics store and purchased a Garmin equipped with European maps. We ate dinner in a small hotel just down the road, owned by the same people. It was adorable, the food...

This is a great hotel for peace and quiet away from zooming motorcycles and constant automobile traffic. It is out in the country and a bit difficult to find though well worth the trouble. The rooms are most pleasant and tastefully decorated as is the breakfast room / main building. The staff are most courteous and helpful. The only drawback... More

We're so glad we followed the advice of reviewers and stayed here the three nights we spent in Siracusa before heading up to Taormina where we found a similar property away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It was great to relax in the beautiful garden setting after full days of sightseeing and hosts ALI and ANNALISA added to... More

The hospitality was welcoming..

Beautiful beaches just a short drive away..The room was cosy and comfy.. Breakfast gave you a pleasant... More

Vast selection of sicilan breakfast, including their homegrown orange jam and orange juice. And not to forget plenty of... More

the place is very silent and relaxing, with a very beautiful garden that gives somebody a warm welcome. But it's only the first impression. Unlikely the grim reality is different... The manager proposed us an "excelsior suite", whereas in reality it was a simple double room, very little, damp (sheets were wet) and dirty. Also the bathroom was very dirty... More

Traveling around Sicily in 9 days was a little intense, but one night of total relaxation -we had the pleasure of staying at the Villa dei Papiri; this was my absolute favorite of all nights. The welcome was inviting and easy - free squeezed oranges from the farm, fruit cocktails to follow, later in the evening. The setting was beautiful... More

It's a good stay here, but the prices are overrated compared to services and rooms. Not the 'heaven' that was promised in some reviews. Okay, but not more than that. More

We had booked a whole week in this splendid place. The surroundings are magnificent. Wonderfull garden. Breakfast very good. However, the room is the most important. And it was a big disappointment. I can confirm the review of an other guest, that the room was very damp, and it had a not so nice smell of mold. It was also... More
