Amazing location, service and food. Felt like a true piece of authentic Sicily! Can’t think of anything I didn’t like about this stay… except maybe that I had to go home!
The property is lovely, lots of flowers and a very nice pool and sun deck. Our room was very nice and clean. The bathroom is spacious and well appointed. We had dinner there and were very surprised at the quality of the meal. Breakfast was very nice and the service was great. We recommend il Borgo!
Lovely room. Beautiful evening meals. Helped us out when we mis-laid our keys.
Pool was very chilly but refreshing in the heat.
We weren’t told that restaurant was closed one evening , and they forgot our take away breakfast one day, but quickly scrambled one together.
A lovely place

Great location, hard beds, rough staff -notAnthony
Great location for access to Etna and wineries. Perhaps the best feature of the resort was Anthony, the desk clerk. Anthony at reception was wonderful - kind, helpful, smile on his face, and smart. Unfortunately, Sara was troublesome and made comments about our stay, that we were in two beds instead of one, even though we booked the entire room - weird. Hotel needs new beds - beds were rock-hard and furniture was tattered. We needed to put blankets underneath sheets in order to soften the beds a bit. Pool water was not clear. Food in on-location restaurant was really quite awful, but there are limited options surrounding the place. Yay to Anthony - you made the stay great.
Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, Pool war auch Anfang Oktober in Betrieb, sehr gutes Frühstück und Abendessen, guter Ausgangspunkt für Etna, Taormina und Strände etc.
Séjour d'une nuit. Nous cherchions un hébergement près des "Gole dell'Alcantara" et celui-ci est parfaitement situé. Un peu difficile à trouver si vous inscrivez sur votre gps "Castiglione di Sicilia", il faut en fait aller à "Mitogio" et là, très facile à trouver. Au calme au milieu de la verdure. Magnifiques bâtiments, grands espaces communs, chambres spacieuses, propres, lit confortable. Petit-déjeuner au top, avec jus d'orange pressé. Le seul petit bémol concerne la piscine. Trop profonde à mon goût, il aurait fallu une pente. Mais sympa pour se rafraîchir... et les bons nageurs ne tiendront pas compte de mon avis. Accueil agréable. Je recommande, et j'y reviendrai certainement
Traumhafte Lage. Wunderschön restauriert und trotzdem den alten antiken Flair des Gebäudes behalten. Super freundliches Personal und fantastisches Essen. Grazie 😍

Mixed Feelings!
Mixed experiences at Il Borgo - it's very reasonably priced, the pool is great, and the location is perfect (provided you have a car). However - we were really disappointed that the hotel charged us for an extra night when we had to leave the hotel a day early due to our flight time changing. Even though we had given 5 days notice, they felt unable to waive the last night, which resulted in us paying for two hotels on the same night due to a change by Ryanair.
Also be warned, if you want wrinkle free clothing, bring your own iron! They share an iron with several other properties - it took 3 days to get one!
Try also to get a room in the main house - the pictures don't seem to show the wing where most of the rooms are location. It literally hasn't been updated in 15 years or so - the carpets, curtains and bed sheets were the same in 2006/2007!!
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la cuisine de cet établissement! C’était vraiment délicieux. Le personnel était aux petits soins avec nous. Notre suite était grande et confortable.
Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen, ruhig und urig mit super Frühstück! Die Lage ist mit eigenen Auto machbar. Abendessen sehr hohe Qualität, hat aber auch seinen Preis. Schade war nur, dass ein Zimmertausch nicht möglich war, da durch ein Computerprogramm sehr unflexibel.

Great setting, good value, good pool.
Il Borgo is set in beautiful surroundings, close to Alcantara Gorge, Taormina, Etna and 90 minutes from Siracusa. It has a beautiful pool and great food in the evenings. There's also a great beach in nearby Calatabiano called San Marco.
However, the basics are sometimes lacking - it took 3 days to get an iron, the room furnishings are faded and scuffed, parking spaces for only about 8 cars so you may have to park outside on the road. Sometimes it feels as though some of the staff are dismissive of requests, but others are very helpful (Sara was great).
Overall, it is good value for money and I would recommend to stay here, but with the knowledge that it is not perfect.
