“A lovely hotel”

After staying mostly in cities, this was a nice change. The owners are friendly and make you feel at home. They brought us a plate of fruit when we arrived. The breakfast was fantastic with some of the best pastry and cheeses and meats and fresh fruit. Breakfast is served in the courtyard with nice linen and comfortable chairs with umbrellas to shade the sun. This place is delightful!

“Welcoming country villa”

This beautifully restored country villa is conveniently located just outside Piazza Amerina and near Villa Casale. After a rainy March day in Caltagirone, we were welcomed to a warm room, wine next to a fire and a delicious dinner that was very reasonably priced. The helpful staff recommended visiting Morgantina as well as Villa Casale since part of Casale is closed for repairs.

“Peaceful stay in historic villa”

We stayed at the Villa Trigona for one night in November. It is out on the edge of Piazza Armerina so more rural and peaceful. Our room was spacious, clean, and simple. The room was chilly but the bathroom was well heated. A double door opened onto a patio which would have been nice in warmer weather. The Villa is old but very well maintained. The staff were welcoming but spoke only a little English. We had a very memorable dinner at the Villa, booked by us in advance. Multiple courses, all excellent, for a very reasonable price. There are no restaurants within walking distance of the Villa since it is in the country but one could easily drive into the town for dinner. We had difficulty finding our way through Piazza Armerina to the Villa and should have used our GPS. Pay careful attention to the signs for the Villa at the roundabouts within the city so you don’t miss a turn. The gate into the Villa grounds was locked but it was rapidly opened by the staff once we signaled our arrival by pushing a button located next to the gate. We would definitely stay at the Villa again.

“Amazing hospitality”

Arrived in the dark, glad we had borrowed a sat nav as it helped us find this place. Room good size, ensuite clean and functional corner shower doors no use if you were a large person!! The aroma and smells of the evening meal were so tempting I went and asked if they had enough for 2 more, was told it was ok. The hosts speak no English at all, they have a young lad working for them and he interpreted for us. 4 courses and 1/2 litre good local wine then a glass of very good Sicilian red wine, after dessert a liquor, all for 28 Euros each, a very good meal with lots of vegetables as well, so the Villa Trigona comes very highly recomended by us. We repeated the experience on our second night and it was equally as good.

“Trigona”

An excellent overnight stop. Very generous breakfast with huge variety of items on offer. Beautiful setting. Not easy to find .Piazza Armerina seemed to give our satnav (GPS) a nervous breakdown. Would recommend using google maps and look for hotel signs.

“Country hotel with good food.”

The hotel was out-of-town but easy to find and well signposted. We had a big room, typically Sicilian with rustic furniture, and a lounge attached, though the beds were on the soft side. There was a balcony, but not great views. The grounds were rather scruffy. Dinner was available with 4 good courses, wine and liqueurs at a sensible price. Breakfast was good with home made products, but was a bit of a free for all when the hotel was busy. Service was friendly and hospitable.
