훌륭한 뷰와 자연경관을 자랑하는 유서깊은 호텔입니다. 주인 아저씨도 너무 친절합니다.

다만, 끝도 없는 좁은 산골비탈길을 조심조심 올라가야함은 각오하셔야합니다^^;;

Ho soggiornato a Olive Alive e l’esperienza è stata davvero eccellente. La struttura è immersa nella tranquillità della campagna, a pochi minuti da Noto, ed è il luogo ideale per rilassarsi e staccare dalla routine.

Le camere sono spaziose, pulitissime e curate nei minimi dettagli, con un’atmosfera accogliente che fa sentire subito a casa. Gli spazi esterni sono meravigliosi, ben tenuti e perfetti per godersi il silenzio e la natura.

Un ringraziamento speciale a Italo, il proprietario, che ci ha accolti con grande cordialità, disponibilità e attenzione. La sua passione e il suo amore per questo luogo si percepiscono in ogni dettaglio e rendono il soggiorno ancora più piacevole.

Consiglio vivamente Olive Alive a chiunque voglia trascorrere qualche giorno di relax in un ambiente autentico, elegante e ricco di ospitalità. Sicuramente ci tornerò!

We had very high hopes of Olive Alive, based upon other reviews and the website, but we were so disappointed. We booked the ‘luxury’ room named Cornucopia, because we wanted to end our Sicily holiday on a high note. Sadly the reality definitely did not live up to expectations and I think the best way to show this is by adding photos to this review. I really loved the 3 other places we stayed in Sicily and have reviewed them positively, but this was the worst by a very long way.
We were so disappointed by the reality we experienced, the gardens and pool are lovely but the room was damp, grubby and neglected. Definitely not luxury!! The bathroom in particular was really unpleasant and dirty, there was a dehumidifier running constantly in the bedroom area, there was mould on the walls, the lighting was from weird upright neon tubes which flickered, the outside space was dirty and unswept, the outdoor table and chairs were old and flaking, everything just felt so dirty and unloved. The roof terrace is just an empty space, no chairs or seating and the cushions promised when we arrived were never provided. We saw no sign at all of a yoga studio, and the only reference to anything spa related was an instruction to book a few days ahead so that a therapist could be found. Anything else you see online is misleading.
Dinner on our first night was served in a cold, unwelcoming room which we later realised was where breakfast was also laid out. We had no idea what to make of it all, it was such a let down, but we tried to make the best of it. However the owner absolutely does not cook for you, or host ‘gala’ dinners! He employs a chef and appears only occasionally with his dog, who is lovely but barks a lot. We were woken before 7 by the dog, which was really not good news on holiday. We own dogs and love them, but do not enjoy barking dogs all day when we’re on holiday.
We also experienced so much other noise from the outset. We realised on our last afternoon at Olive Alive that the owner had been preparing for the filming of drone footage, but hadn’t had the courtesy to tell us. So we had 2 days of constant noise from strimmers and brush cutters, then while relaxing by the pool on the 3rd day a team of people arrived with a drone and spent the afternoon filming. It was so disruptive, it ruined our day. The owner was surly and aggressive after we complained, he did not apologise. Please be aware that he is an odd character who behaves as though he is hosting you as a personal favour, when in fact 3 nights here cost us £1200 and was absolutely not worth half of that. Other guests from Germany and the US told us they were also shocked by how ‘rustic’ the rooms are.
We were forced to make an unplanned move to another hotel near Siracusa, luckily this was absolutely lovely and we ended our holiday on a high note, but this was no thanks to Olive Alive.

We stayed for four nights in June. The location is spectacular, the room perfect, the food exceptional, the staff attentive and helpful, the grounds very thoughtfully laid out and the pool has an astonishing view. We were there for a charity fundraising event that the hotel held which was a truly memorable occasion. Special thanks goes to owner Italo who ensured a peaceful, interesting and restful stay.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The owner Italo was so accommodating and we felt very at home. The view and the food was amazing and we loved sitting by the pool and relaxing. We will definitely recommend! 10/10.

Dopo alcuni anni di assenza, sono tornata per 3 giorni in questo luogo fantastico, letteralmente immerso nella natura. Ideale per rilassarsi, dopo le varie escursioni nelle località della valle, molto affollate dai turisti, approfittando del centro benessere, passeggiando nella tenuta o ai bordi della bella piscina, ammirando dall’alto Noto e il mare, tutto in un piacevole silenzio rotto solo dal frusciare degli alberi. Camere molto confortevoli, ben tenute, pulizia impeccabile e personale sempre gentile e disponibile. Oltre all’ottima colazione ho potuto gustare le prelibatezze dello chef (piatti tipici e internazionali). Grazie al proprietario, Signor Italo, sempre attento agli ospiti, e al suo adorabile cane Clio.

Just got back from 5 magical days at Tenuta Olive Alive. It is our second stay in this beautiful hotel in the hills near Noto. Wonderful to wake up and have a delicious breakfast on the terrace looking out on the olive grove. Our host, Italo, always smiling, always full of great suggestions for places to visit and restaurants to try, there to greet us every morning. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing stay, not to mention the delicious meals prepared by Italo and his chef, as a jumping off point for visiting this beautiful part of Sicily. Don't forget to taste his wonderful olive oil.

Elegante struttura situata sopra Noto, con annessa Spa, piscina, centro yoga, area fitness. Lontano dal centro abitato con una splendida visuale sulla vallata che conduce alle più belle spiagge della riserva di Vendicari. Ideale per u a vacanza di relax, immersi nella natura, lontano dal caos cittadino e con il confort di una struttura Luxury.
