Antico Casale Benalì

The Casale (farmhouse) is perfect in so many ways that words cannot describe. Andrea got in contact to align on check-in and with details on how to reach and so forth and from that moment on it was evident that we made the right choice of place to stay while in Siracusa. The check-in was smooth and friendly, the staff awesome and the location and the house just perfect. The perfect place that you can truly winddown and relax whether that being pre or post breakfast, during afternoon or before going out for the evenings. The pool area is extremely calming and the sound of birds and pool puts you in a trance. Needless to say we didn't want to leave! The breakfast is just perfect, the bedrooms are amazing and bonus with the memory foam pillows and mattress ensuring that your night is as restful as remotely possible. We also had a terrace where we could enjoy a bottle of wine in the evenings. All in all this met our full expectations and beyond. Its one of those places that when you see it from the street you immediately want to be there. A truly typical Sicilian casale. Its tough having to part from the property but sadly our trip was too short - note for next time. Andrea has created a true sanctuary and it is the epitome of what relaxation is. The house is also fairly close to Ortigia, Noto, San Lorenzo beaches and the surrounding vinyards all with a short drive away.

The property is beautiful and well maintained The breakfast was great overseen by Valentina a truly lovely lady

Nothing

Everything was great: the house, the bed, the pool, the terrace and the breakfast in front of the house. The host is very friendly and helpful, we really felt like home, this place it's like a fairytale.

cleanliness and pool

stingy = only minimal soap (better bring your own!) and very old and smelly bathroom towels - NO swimming pool towels at our disposal only bottled water on day of arrival
