An amazing experience to live and breath the pure Sicilian’s roots. The staff and service are remarkable. The Villa unforgettable.

The property was clean, but basic and a little rustic. It was a peaceful country experience with lots of birdsong and frogs sounding in the valley. If you want peace and quiet, this is it. It is a bit off the beaten track south of Caltagirone, a very charming town. We were the only guests in the early season, so Michele and his wife cooked just for us for one night. The food was incredibly fresh and flavourful and really from the farm. That was a wonderful experience. The service was very friendly, and Google translate was a help in communicating.

Visit to Caltagirone, Sicily
Posted 12 Jul 2018
Pros: location, peacefulness, staff, home grown produce
Cons: air con in rooms during hot summers
On a tour of central and Eastern Sicily we stayed 2 nights here just outside Caltagirone which is a lovely hill top city famous for ceramics. Casale delle Rose was recommended to me by friends and we were not disappointed. HOWEVER if you want hotel services and luxury go elsewhere. This is a charming working organic farm - if you want to stay on a farm that makes its own pasta from the wheat they grow, drink their own wine and orange juice and put their own marmalade on their home made bread whilst seriously relaxing and taking in the fantastic view then you will not be disappointed. They could do with some aircon in the rooms but other than that nothing but positive things to say...........and the owners, staff, people on the farm are simply lovely.

Hi Neil, we thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed good food and our farm. As for air conditioning we regret that you did not request the service because we would have immediately satisfied with our portable air conditioning (we have 4 and are on inquiry) :-) We wait for you soon and to forgive the misunderstanding double ration of arancini of our Chef and a glass of Bio Don Angelo red wine.
See you soon

A wonderful getaway!
Posted 30 May 2018We were greeted by Valentino who immediately made us feel right at home. She personally brought us drinks to enjoy on our private balcony before dinner. The dinner was made fresh from the garden! All courses were delicious! The farming is extensive and well run. We highly recommend this lovely gem!

Lovely place to stay close to town.
Posted 1 Apr 2018
Pros: Everything.
Location: Caltagirone is very close and it is a beautiful town to explore, especially the 142 steps! The town is known for its ceramics and there are many shops
If you like listening to birds rather than cars or motorbikes, this is an ideal place. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are nice, and the beds are comfortable. If you stay here, you will want to have dinner at least one night. You won’t get food this good at a restaurant. Sorry we had only one night...next time I would spend a week!

Working organic farm, with inn run by nice family.
Posted 12 Jun 2017
Pros: The family made me feel like a welcome family guest.
Cons: People with children are often looking for a farm experience. I would suggest some interaction with animals, limited produce picking, egg collecting.
Location: Caltagirone sightseeing shuttle, restaurant La Locandiere
This farm supplies the restaurant, and the cook is 73 year old dad. Reception is usually one of 2 friendly young women. As I remember, dinner was good, and the room comfortable. I enjoyed walking around the property and into the orchard, hearing the cow. I could see that much work is underway. Some were disappointed that the pool was not yet available (late May). The roads coming to the property from both directions are narrow, not unusual in Sicily (and Caltagirone was a real challenge). The wifi worked well.

Thank you very much Cindy...your feedback is important for us!
I'm sorry...We opened the pool during the first week of June, because before that time the weather was not good.
How you have noticed jobs in a farm never end up .... when it seems that everything is ok you find that there is still something to do. We are happy to have you enjoyed walking around the country, and we hope you enjoy the tranquility and serenity of the countryside. We look forward to your next vacation ... we reserve a pleasant surprise. See you soon.

Beautiful setting, exceptional hospitality
Posted 27 May 2017A beautiful location, and views from our room. The evening meals were delicious, using the farm's own produce and home made wine, pasta and cheeses. The family and staff were very welcoming - heartily recommended.
