Antico Borgo Villa Giulia

This hotel is one of a kind exceptional. My sister, father and I stayed for 4 nights and on arrival we were immediately welcomed by wonderful staff and the hotel owner, who informed us they would feed us very well and look after us. This couldn’t be more true. Firstly, the food here is unbelievably good - the Pachino tomatoes are the sweetest you’ve ever tasted and the menu is delightful. So many choices for delicious fresh fish and the vegetables from their garden are delicious. The olive oil, vegetables and even the wine is grown by them. The atmosphere is really special, Villa Giulia somehow manages to create a wonderful calm environment where you feel at home instantly. The service was amazing, everyone who works here is lovely and it feels like you are welcomed into a Sicilian family immediately. Thank you so much for a perfect stay Villa Giulia.

Swimming pool and garden were lovely shame there were so many young noisy children almost more in number than the adults! The name is quite confusing and made it difficult to find. It should be Village Giulia first in the name also WiFi only worked in reception.

I do beleive that the web site is misleading, it implies that the hotel is close to the "must see" town of Noto when in fact Noto is at least 8 miles away, a car is essential, that is also missing from the information, the nearest beach is at least a 30 minute brisk walk away, the information implies its on the doorstep. Another even bigger surprise was to discover that the hotel is geared towards young German familes with children at Kinder Garden age, for a couple who wanted a quite hotel without children, this was a major shock, all infomation was in either Italian or German including all the collateral within the bedroom, that in itself is fairly insulting, thankfully I have a smattering of both languages however, no thought was given to the only 2 guests from the UK but, the staff were very good and helpful. I am a property manager who has worked within the 5* hotel sector for 30 years and I do know almost every thing there is no know about hotels and in closing I will say that the hotel and location are superb but, some work is required on giving guests more accurate information
