We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay at La Casa di Melo as part of our 3 centre vacation in Sicily (Palermo, Siracusa and Taormina). This was the longest stay in our vacation (6 nights).

The accommodation was most comfortable (and peaceful) and the service from Lorenzo, Marina and Rafael was perfect and most helpful - especially helping to overcome our satnav challenges.

Breakfast were well served by Inde and our thanks to him for his early morning welcome.

As commented at the time, it would have helped if we realised in advance that the ‘dinner’ we pre-booked would have been described as a ’tapas dinner’ rather than the traditional Italian menu of appetiser, primi, secondi, dolce. 

Adding more variety to the dinner would also have added value, especially given a 6-night stay. However, we found Paper Moon (in Casibilie) along with dinner at La Casa Melo gave us a balanced/well-fed stay - we are not vegetarians or vegans. 

Not that this was an issue, in fact we found the presentation and quality of the tapas dinner was excellent. Also the wine list was interesting. Over the 2 weeks our knowledge and appreciation of Siciialn wines improved significantly.

Thanks for La Casa di Melo for your warm welcome, service and congratulations on your lovely facility. We would be happy to recommend a stay at La Casa di Melo to others.


A special place - on an organic farm, offering high quality accomkodation and fridnely, helful service.

We enjoyed a very comfortable two night stay at La Casa di Melo as a base to explore Syracuse. It's a little off the beaten track and a car is recommended. The reception and kitchen/breakfast staff were all excellent: very welcoming, friendly and efficient. 

Our room was absolutely fine for an agriturismo and very clean. Unfortunately they weren't serving evening meals (due, I assume, to Covid restrictions) but the Sicilian breakfasts were wonderful. Freshly squeezed oranges and homemade flans  were both a little piece of heaven on earth. We also enjoyed a glass of wine and some antipasti under the veranda in the evening, a lovely experience. 

Recommended. 

Friendly and comfortable agriturismo 

The hotel is in a rural area, near the small town of Cassibile. To arrive it is important to follow the tips sent by the hotel, because our GPS has missed the way.
The location is great for visiting the beautiful cities of southern Sicily as well as the beautiful beaches.
The property is very beautiful, in a quiet place, with a beautiful pool and the room is clean and very spacious.
Breakfast is good and served outside, with the company of the pleasant dog Nino.
As a suggestion, the hotel could improve the quality of WiFi and provide maps and tourist information of the area.

Quiet place in Sicily

We only had 3 nights sadly but La Casa di Melo was a delightful base from which we could explore the area.  Unfortunately we arrived very late on our first night which is understandably discouraged - this is very much a working farm.  If you're a late night party animal this is not the place to stay!  It has a lovely calm about it though.  A stunning pool, a garden with lovely touches such as hammocks to sit in, the option to order a craft beer to enjoy by the pool, divine fresh produce at breakfast and a sumptuous organic buffet style supper which you can pre-book.  We enjoyed chatting to the owners and particularly learning about local wines.  We were also given a great recommendation for dinner in the local town.  
As long as you understand the spirit of Agriturismo you will thoroughly enjoy your stay here.

A delightful base to explore such a fascinating area

As other reviews showed, a very good B&B. Friendly staff, excellent rooms.  We had TheI Limetti  room, with a great terrace.
Breakfast was very good, but to be honest, the meal we reserved the first evening, after a late floght, was not very famous. A better option is to have dinner in Cassibile.
A fantastic pool, but we missed parasols, no shadow.
An excellent place to discover Syracuse!

Very good

This is a lovely, quaint farm house in a quiet location. Our room was spacious and well equipped with a private terrace which was a nice addition. The pool was lovely and I would say that the photos on their website  are a true reflection of how the place looks. 

However, upon checking in at around 4pm we attempted to make a reservation for dinner but were told that we couldn’t as this had to have been made before 12pm. We were very disappointed by this as we were only staying for one night. This is definitely information that should be better communicated upon booking! (Having checked their website, it only says “reservation welcome” regarding dinner). 

After getting back from a distinctly average pizza in nearby town Avola at 8.45pm, we were looking forward to sharing a bottle of wine by the picturesque pool. However we came back to discover that the entire place was deserted- lights switched off, no one around whatsoever and the dining area locked- an extremely peculiar and strange atmosphere. We had little choice but to go straight to our room and to bed! Very odd indeed. There are notices on the wall that say you are not allowed to bring outside food and drinks into the common area, but you are not able to purchase anything either? It doesn’t make much sense. (I later discovered that the bar closes at 8- surely make people aware of this upon checking in?!).

Such a beautiful place let down by a lack of any service or atmosphere in the evening. I understand that this is a farm, so perhaps it is better to view it as a farm first & foremost and a hotel second. I would not return as I personally don’t like going to bed at 9pm when I am on holiday, however I am sure that the dinner would be lovely as breakfast was delicious! 

Wanted to love it, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. 

We've experienced the real definition of HOLIDAYS at La Casa di Melo❤️

Everything was absolutely flawless - it was the perfect place to disconnect while always being right next to key towns and beautiful white sandy beaches. 

The delicious breakfast is home made by Roberta who cooked some of the most delicious food we've ever had (i.e. parmiggiana!) 
If you ever have the opportunity, you should definitely have dinner here at least once and she'll make you enjoy the best Sicilian traditional dishes with their local organic products, accompanied by a good selection of autochthonous wines.

The pool area is beautiful and relaxing and the rooms are cozy, spacious and very clean. 

Most importantly, Caterina, Lorenzo and Chiara were always so kind and available, making us feel completely at home <3 (and their adorable doggies as well😊). It was thanks to their recommendations that we ended up in the best beaches, places and restaurants.

We could not recommend this place more. 

It really is a bit of heaven on earth💕

Great stay!

What a beautiful place to stay! If I could I would stay longer.  
I had a really nice and clean room. 
A lot of choices for breakfast and compliments for the chef for the great dinner. 
Thank you for the hospitality and friendly staff!!

Perfect place to relax☺️

We loved it! Restful, relaxing - an oasis of calm. A welcome break among Sicily's amazing and unrivaled historical sites (and sights). Lawrence & Simon are charming, attentive and knowledgeable, about the area, the food and passionate about local wine. Loved starting the day with a dip in the pool, and ending it with one of their amazing buffets (the breakfasts are equally amazing - and huge), a glass or two of excellent wine and Nino Nino or Monstro as company. With Siracusa, our favourite place in Sicilia.

Relaxing rural idyll

This is a wonderful place and i would return without hesitation.  It was difficult to find using a sat nav so we took a trip the the local town of Cassibile, had a coffee and worked out where the hotel was.  

The hotel itself has been wonderfully renovated and there is another building across the courtyard which is currently in the process of being rebuilt.   The main public rooms have spaces both inside and outside to relax and read or talk and the main eating area is outside under the tiled roof over the patio area.

The hotel is situated in an area away from the main farm but it is still on a farm and is surrounded by lime trees and is very rustic.   The pool was wonderful and we used it each day and sunbathed by the pool uninterrupted apart from one of the friendly dogs who wanted to lick my ear while i was dozing.

We had a wonderful traditional Siciian breakfast each morning and ate local food at the hotel on one evening.  The hosts recommended a bottle of local wine for us from their cellar and it was wonderful.

They do have a number of dogs who make their presence felt but i found this more reassuring than annoying.

Cassibile itself is a fairly unassuming little town with a few small restaurants.  The one that came highly recommended was unfortunately shut on the night we intended to eat there. It is however a good place to base yourself for exploring the area.
