  My Colle San mauro experience.

  03 Jan 2025

  This Agriturismo offers a truly unique culinary experience! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and tasteful decor, although it can get a bit noisy during peak hours.But the highlight of our visit was our waiter, Samuel. He was incredibly attentive and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food itself was outstanding – you can really taste the freshness and quality of the locally sourced ingredients. The chef clearly has a talent for creating authentic Sicilian flavors.Outside of the restaurant, the Agriturismo offers a wide range of activities. We enjoyed the live music nights and themed events, which added a vibrant atmosphere. For relaxation, they have a massage area, and for the adventurous, horseback riding through the vineyard with complimentary wine tastings afterwards.This Agriturismo truly offers a complete experience, combining delicious food, relaxation, and exciting activities. Highly recommend! Giulia D'angelo, Proprietario at Colle San Mauro, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at our Agriturismo!

  Totally relaxing with a wonderful atmosphere!

  01 Jun 2019

  We were fortunate enough to spend a couple of days here last month. It's located in a lovely site with all the amenities one could hope for. The décor is wonderful. Classy, warm and inviting. Cleanliness is of the utmost. The four meals we enjoyed were top notch. A definite winner!

  Our fondest stay in Sicily!

  01 Oct 2018

  This was our favorite place in all of Sicily. I was baffled at the negative comments left by others so I want to share our personal thoughts (perhaps lengthy) if for no other reason than to thank the hosts for our wonderful experience. My husband and I spent 14 nights in Sicily each night at another location depending where we ended our day. We found Colle San Mauro available on a booking website. I always quickly glance at the negative comments and laughed out loud at one complaint that there was no other restaurant nearby and they had difficulty getting back there late at night after dinner and wine in Caltagirone. Seriously? The reason to choose an agrihotel is the peace and tranquility of being remote and taking advantage of having a meal onsite prepared with their own fresh ingredients and to avoid the hassle of driving and parking especially after a full meal with alcohol. So I phoned the property requesting a room and dinner. We arrived thankfully just before dark. Yes it was a bit out if the way, yes it is not the easiest drive. But the turnoffs were sufficiently marked. We went into the restaurant and asked about the room. The owner took us to the reception area where we met the man I had spoken to. We asked if we could have a quick swim before dinner which was fine and we asked for dinner at 8:30. He said dinner was at 8:00 so we hurried. The pool.....gorgeous, amazing, and beautiful with the lighting and surroundings. This is the deepest pool I ever encountered. Even the shallower end I could barely stand. We arrived at dinner to see every room had a reserved table set with wine and water. We did not find menus; however, shortly afterwards, waiters appeared from the kitchen with trays of appetizers. We now understood why we were told 8:00. It was a set menu served banquet style. The appetizer plate was a variety of 10 or maybe 12 different items. Next came a plate of two different pastas with sauces. We are not fussy eaters so we actually welcomed the suspense of wondering what would come next. The meat was a pork with porcini mushrooms. All was delicious and with no indication what the dinner would cost, we resigned ourselves that this would be our ‘extravagant’ night.The hotel has obviously undergone major renovation. Our room was nice and spacious with an old style but modern comfort. Ok not everything was perfect....it missed a light fixture (a bare bulb) and the shower could use a small tray to hold soap. Also the electic socket did not fit the plug of the provided hairdryer. But, we really did not care about this minutiae. Every new or re-construction has little things that are still in the works. We get that. The following morning we had a wonderful breakfast! I was enthusiastic to see more of the property, especially the horses as I was missing mine at home terribly and was eager for the familiar feeling of one between my hands again. Sadly we had a downpour of rain and when it finally subsided, we decided to leave in order to stay on schedule. Our biggest surpise was when the bill came. The amazing dinner we had turned out to 25 euros per person including wine and water.....about half the price we anticipated! So for 63 euros for the room plus 50 for a full dinner we felt we had really been fortunate to stay here. I must mention that the WIFI was not working for us or others in the restaurant. For us, not a big deal as we have European mobile service and enough data not to be dependent on WIFI. That said, it was also not always easy to have a good signal. Again, we had little need to be connected to the rest of the world for the one night we spent there. However, for those for whom this is of great importance, this is perhaps not the right choice accommodation. Past negative reviewers commented on activity programs and entertainment staff. I do not know if these programs still exist but we were grateful that at the time of our stay, there was nothing like this occurring, no groups but rather just other couples and families enjoying the peaceful environment.To conclude, our experience was a 10. In fact, I have perhaps underrated other places we stayed due to the comparison with Colle San Mauro.We will undoubtedly return should we find ourselves in Sicily again.

  Way way out of the way

  22 May 2017

  This agri turismo was part of a tour, so we had no choice. If I ever see it on a future tour I will skip that tour. Staff was not at all professional or helpful given several opportunities. The AC would not turn on, and two staff gave an excuse that it takes 10 minutes to start. After 40 minutes, I finally found someone who knew something, and he got it started in less than a minute. Breakfast should be easy, but not here. They regularly were out of coffee, and the hot food was not hot. It was also nearly impossible for our very professional driver to find, and it's at least 30 minutes from anywhere.

  Lovely Relaxing Agriturismo with Fantastic Food

  02 Oct 2016

  A lovely, relaxing place to stay in the rolling hills of Caltagirone. The main house is warm and comfortable. WiFi is available in the lobby and the restaurant. It also works at the pool and the Gazebo. Each room is named after a place in Sicily. The rooms are nicely done and very clean. Though we would prefer to be able to control the AC since we like things cold but the Windows are screened so you can open them in the evening. We were very comfortable in the same room as our two sons. I would recommend an update on the shower curtains because ours was ripped and sinewhat unusable. The Agriturismo is beautiful and relaxing. They have animals to look at and horses to ride if you like as well as a friendly cow. The meals were all very delicious and plentiful. The staff is discreet but very friendly and helpful. They really did their best with our limited Italiano and their limited English. They sell their own wine as well which is very good. We bought 6 bottles ourselves. They also have a Spa but we did not make use of it...next time! Adults and children both had a great time and we all want to return!!
