Location
Il Giardino Del Sole is located in a quiet and convenient area, especially if you are arriving late at Catania airport and driving south. The hotel is situated in the beautiful countryside, close to the autostrada, which makes it easy to find if you are travelling by car. It's a good base to start exploring the area, visiting attractions and shopping malls and even exploring nearby cities such as Catania and Taormina. The hotel is located a bit off the mainstream, allowing for a peaceful and interesting stay away from the city. The surrounding area is also great for exploring both upwards and downwards, such as Siracusa and is easily reachable from Catania airport. However, it's recommended to rent a car as there is not much to do around the area. Overall, while the location may have a bit of traffic noise due to its proximity to the autostrada, the beautiful country of Catania and the charm of the hotel itself more than make up for it.
Breakfast
Il Giardino Del Sole offers a breakfast that has received mixed reviews from guests. While some found it to be good with options like eggs, cheese and ham, others found it to be very basic and limited. Sunday Easter lunch, however, received high praise and was described as amazing with delicious food. Some guests appreciated the variety in the breakfast with sweets and jams made on site, but others noted the lack of variety and vegetables. Despite some negative comments about dry bread and old eggs, most guests found the breakfast to be satisfactory. Overall, Il Giardino Del Sole offers a decent breakfast experience.
Dinner
Il Giardino Del Sole offers a great dining experience with amazing food and a varied menu that includes local delicacies and pizza on the weekends. The antipasti misti was particularly impressive. The restaurant must be reserved in advance and while some guests were disappointed by the lack of prices beforehand, others found it to be an enjoyable surprise. The outdoor pool is a nice touch, although some guests did report being bothered by stray cats during dinner outside. However, overall, the dining experience is highly recommended with the standout dishes receiving particular praise. Note that during special occasions, such as on New Year's Eve, the restaurant may fill up with non-guests who have not been asked to provide a green pass.
Rooms
Il Giardino Del Sole offers a unique accommodation experience with their wooden cabins located in a beautiful area with a swimming pool and friendly animals. Guests rave about the cleanliness of the rooms with towels changed daily and the rooms cleaned daily, but some note that updates and refurbishments are needed to enhance the experience. Some rooms come with spacious showers and comfortable mattresses, while others describe small and dark rooms with cobwebs. The temperature inside the wooden cabins can be an issue and guests may need to rely heavily on the air conditioning to stay cool. The TV in some rooms did not work until it was replaced. Despite these small issues, guests still find the rooms cosy and adequate for their needs. The bungalows are not soundproof and some guests have had maintenance problems, but the staff are quick to repair any issues that arise. Overall, Il Giardino Del Sole offers clean and comfortable rooms in a pleasant setting with the added bonus of delicious food served at lunch and dinner.
