Nice layout

The room had no window, just a opening in the ceiling . Pool not heated .

Very accommodating with great welcome, facilities and pool. Great view of the valley even though you cannot see Mount etna. Room is clean and comfortable.

The music at the pool

Very clean, super staff, fantastic pool, very good bed and especially the choice between the two pillows

There was nothing where you could dry your swimming suit. Breakfast is too much.

The house is set in beautiful grounds with a stunning view - the rooms were very clean and the whole house has been done to a really high standard

You definitely need a hire car

it is located in a beautiful part of Sicily.the staff was very helpful. they serve a delicious breakfast. the pool area is wonderful.

We arrived at the pastoral place that is surrounded by vegetation, fruit trees, a simple paradise with a view of gorgeous mountains, everything was stunning and even the dinner was perfect, typical Sicilian, and breakfast, all, was really amazing

Spacious rooms, great food, helpful staff

Was an incredible place, in a quite spectacular valley. The staff was friendly and the food delicious. They also have a wine tasting menu good local produce in elegant sophisticated dishes.

The breakfast was amazing! Dinner was as well - big thanks to Miguel for excellent service. The pool was very relaxing.

We did not get wifi signal in our room (last room on first floor) and the air conditioner was very loud and didnt really cool the room down.

Beautiful place at the wine region of Sicily.The place is new and very clean, very nice swimming pool and gardens.The food was amazing at the restaurant.It is a very small hotel so it is very calm and quiet.Above all the service we got from amazing Annalisa was above any expectations, she helped us so much at everything we where needed.

It located at the countryside so must have a car.I would recommend to the place to put some indoor comfortable sitting areas lake a lobby, so it will be possible to relax when it's cold out side

This is an absolute gem of a small hotel. The hotel is amazing, the staff is extremely helpfull and like family. They will do anything to help you and are so warm and sweet. I am deeply impressed!! Never in my 25 years of traveling the world have I tried anything like this. I have been to so many 5 stars hotels, that doesn't even come close to the service provided by the staff here. The hotel and room are brand new and very nice designed. The pool has a spectacular view of the valley. The area is full of some of the best wineyards and is around 1000 meters above sea level. This gives fresh air and cooling wind that is quite refreshing in the hot summer. The temperature is about 3-4 degrees (C) lower here than that on the valley and beaches. The manager Mr. Sorbello and receptionist Annalisa made us fell like royalty and family at the same time. They set a new very very high standart for the staff of my upcomming travels. The place and the staff was so amazing that during my round trip I actually cancelled a two day stay at the vest of the island, just to return and spend two more days at Santoro. This place gets the very highest recommendations from me and my wife.

excellent country retreat, well managed, nice pool, and decent restaurants. Manager Analisa was outstanding, proactive and really helpful on logistics and other matters, kudos. Can't say enough.

you need a car to travel around etna wine country. while the funicular train runs near the property, schedules are opaque and timings are infrequent. Rent a car.

Really fantastic and definitely worth a stay (if youre like us, travelling around Sicily). Staff exceeded way beyond expectations and the restaurant is truly fantastic, superb wine. GREAT breakfast. They helped us organise a tour to a winery nearby and that was also perfect. Swimming pool is definitely on the larger end of what weve seen in Sicily. smart TV with all that comes with one. Good parking facilities and nice bathroom. Overall, cannot recommend these guys enough! Quiet and relaxed stay!

You can see that they are trying really hard, and then you want them to succeed with perfection. Some friendly recommendations to get there: add more cozy lights on the slopes to show the beautiful landscape, add some more secluded relax areas outdoors, tell the stories behind the food when served (it would add to the experience). One other note: there were quite a few children when we were there, but maybe thats the due to the season. In conclusion: we loved it.

Lovely beautiful place and very clean, lovely friendly staff. Car is necessary. We enjoyed a lot :)

Impeccible hospitality, excellent location with breathtaking surroundings and delicious, abundant breakfast.

location and accessibility, cleanliness and modern design

Breakfast was to die for! Daily fresh and local products and great selection of items in their restaurant (Ruvi). Staff was very courteous and super helpful.
