Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Casato Licitra

Nice base to explore Donnafugata, local beaches and southern Sicily more generally. Be aware that you may need to use local restaurants in the evening (five minute drive). Went here on honeymoon and would happily return.

We spent 2 nights at this hotel. The room was really comfortable. The only flaw was how long it took to get hot water but we were told about it so wasn't really a problem. The staff were friendly and although they did not speak much (no) English and we do not speak much (no) Italian, we were still able to communicate with them. The food was delicious.

This is a lovely working farm but with all the modern conveniences available. Room was comfortable with a beautiful view. The onsite restaurant has excellent food for both breakfast and dinner - didn't try lunch. Rossana was an excellent host in the restaurant in the evenings. A little village is around the corner if you wanted something a bit different. Enjoyed our stay here.

I personally loved the agriturismo but it is a working farm and there are horses, cows, pigs and dogs and when you get out of the car there is an animal smell. After a few minutes you don't notice it and the place is lovely, the room incredibly large, comfortable and very clean with a kitchenette and a bistro table just outside to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and the surroundings. If you are sensitive to smell, AVOID but if you are adventurous and want something outside the box, this place was great. Down the way, 2-3 minute walk, they had a building where we dined and the breakfast was incredible and the dinners were definitely FINE DINING at very reasonable prices. This was good as the drive was about a 15 minute to Ragusa and it was so easy to eat right there. The pool looked nice but we were there the beginning of October so it looked like they were ready to close.

Peaceful spot, every comfort in the room, pool overlooking countryside to coast. Excellent dinner & friendly service

Such a different experience to be surrounded by converted cow troughs whilst in bed was a unique experience. The renovation to this farm property is exceptional and every room has its own character.if you are looking for something different that is away from it all, stay here. The restaurant is very good and despite us being the only ones there one of the evenings the service and the menu choice was still of a high quality. We did have problems finding the farm and unfortunately no one could speak English when I rang for directions. We finally got there by finding donnafugarta castle and asking directions from there,then just 2 Kms away. ENJOY we did!!!!!!

We had a very relaxing time here - the breakfast was delicious; the swimming pool had great views of the countryside; the room was large and comfortable; the staff were friendly and welcoming and there is a superb restaurant on site. It's a good base if you don't want to stay in a town but in the countryside and we enjoyed visiting the local attractions, seaside and baroque towns

We had a great week, hotel was off the beaten track which suited us, very restful. Ideally situated to visit the coast, Donnafugata, Ragusa, Siracusa etc. Got to see the Casa de Montalbano and swim in the sea there. Visited several good beaches. Spent some time in Catania before boarding the plane home, well worth a visit, wish we had longer there.

Wow...We do not know why more Americans have not come to Ragusa! It is the most relaxing vacation. The place is a converted old farm surrounded with gorgeous olive trees, ancient medieval castles, woderful beaches near by and archeological wonders. The rooms are well accommodated with new type bathrooms and well priced gourmet meals. The breakfasts are complete with tons of great choices from different egg dishes to flan and wonderful pastries, all included. The rooms are eell appointed. The pool, farm animals and scenery add to the beauty. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

So my daughter and son in law dropped me off I the middle of no where, as they were staying with friends at an nearby villa. Oh wasn't I lucky even though I did not think so at first. The property is located within a working farm, but is not a farm stay as such. It is however a very comfortable establishment and staff just couldn't do enough for me!

My wife and I enjoyed a three night stay during the last week of June. The hotel is very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is served in the resturant just outside the main gate. The cold buffet is ample and the coffee rich. Dinner ( not included) is offered each evening from 1930 - 2200 with a selection of fresh dishes of southern Sicilian style and family favorites. The pool offered a refreshing break from the daily heat. The farm animals provided a pleasant chorus to serenade us off to sleep each night. Car required. A short drive to the beaches at Marina di Ragusa and Donnalucata. Less than 5 minutes from the beautiful historic Donnafugata Castle. Views down to the sea.

Well situated to reach tourist towns in the area and pleasant rural spot. Modernised old farm buildings but still a little bleak. Rommel very large and well appointed but with very little opening window meaning air on almost always had to be used. Comfortable but eg no free drinking water provided. Staff tried too be helpful it no one spoke a word of English which was a bit of a problem. Breakfast was adequate but no changes over three days. In short despite the expensive make-over, the Hotel was a little disappointing. It would. Enefit from tighter and more understanding management.

Exceeded our expectations! We used the GPS coordinates (provided on hotels.com map) to locate the hotel as it was a few miles from city. We would definitely book here again sometime. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent! Large and very clean rooms.

Hotel really is in the Country, must have a car. We booked 2 nights and were extremely happy. Relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle of the larger cities but close enough for a driving tour into Ragusa or other smaller towns. Hotel is on a working farm with horses, pigs, cattle and dogs. Very quiet and peaceful even with all the animals. Ask for the end room near the restaurant, only a very short walk to dining. Room was very large and updated. Highly recommend the restaurant, food was reasonably priced, and great quality. Service was outstanding. We ate both nights here, breakfast outstanding, all meals were better than most of the larger city restaurants we sampled. We enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing the various animals. Everyone was very friendly. We attended Mass on Sunday morning at the very nearby Donnafugata Castle, an interesting visit itself. Highly recommend this property.

Semplicemente perfetta sotto tutti i punti di vista a cominciare falla gentilezza e disponibilità della titolare che ci ha accolto

RELAX GARANTITO, PERSONALE GENTILE, CONSIGLIATISSIMA

Excellentissimo

Sehr saubere, relativ moderne Zimmer mit Bezug zur ältern Bausubstanz. Gute Internetverbindung. Rezeption sehr eingeschränkt verfügbar bein Checkin und Checkout.

Struttura potenzialmente soddisfacente ma, realmente, non corrispondente a ciò che si prospetta sul sito. Problemi che mi hanno costretto ad un pesante diverbio col personale. Piscina impraticabile (acqua torbida, piume ed insetti che galleggivano e assenza di ricircolo dell'acqua) cassaforte non funzionante e spazi comuni non puliti da tempo e destinati a deposito di masserizie non più utilizzabili.

ambiente bucolico, ma troppo vicino al recinto dei maiali. colazione ottima. personale molto cordiale. il bagno e soprattutto la doccia troppo piccola
