Beautiful hotel with gorgeous pool and facilities. Restaurant served lovely food, though wasn't cheap. Need a car to get there but worth a drive as it was stunning. Staff were all very helpful and friendly as well.

Overall great, but be aware of hidden costs
The hotel, Garden, Restaurant and Pool are all very well maintained and clean. The interior is simple but in good condition and it feels cozy. Bathrooms were spacious, clean and overall great as well. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly service. The only negative point I would mention is that they charged us a fee if 6 EUR for a pool towel, which was not mentioned when they handed the towels to us. To me this seems very surprising and unusual, at least you need to make your guests aware of additional costs.

Excellent service - staff were very helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The rooms were spacious and the mattress was one of the best I have ever slept on. We even had a small private terrace. Restaurant was very good - excellent service and Michelin standard food at a reasonable price. Lovely terrace for al fresco breakfast.

Fantastic
Fantastic hotel. We will be back. One small complaint is their breakfast staff. Too busy talking and absolutely no service awareness unlike the lunch and evening staff who were perfect. When ordering tea or coffee in the morning you really felt loved like you had to beg.

Lovely resort for a " do nothing" relaxing get away. Wonderful staff, grounds are beautifully kept. The pool area is gorgeous. Wasn't expecting an infinity pool in the middle of a rural setting. Breakfast was continental with plenty of choices. We had dinner two nights at the restaurant and enjoyed the variety and quality of the food.

Good hotel in a beautiful area
The hotel is a collection of buildings around a restaurant/bar with pool. The restaurant was very good. It was very peaceful. Old Noto nearby is very interesting to explore.

Masseria degli Ulivi
We enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable week at Masseria delgi Uvili. The welcome was warm and information provided useful. Our room was clean and comfortable and made more appealing by the pleasant scent of Jasmine at our door from the shrub outside! The pool was excellent and staff regularly offered drinks and food by the pool. Evening meals were of the highest standard and wine list extensive. Breakfast was an ideal start for the day's activities. Whilst a car was essential for the visit, the hotel is ideally located for visits to all local points of interest and an excellent beach is only 30 mins away.

Could be so much better
Hotel has nice pool and olive grove lawn around it, staff generally friendly although English not strong. Beds comfortable if a little 'hard' looking, restaurant has nice food if you order a la carte. On the down side, room cleaning was very inconsistent with dirty cups left in room and mess outside neighbouring room left for a day. They have the pool but you'll have to pay extra for towels if you want to use one. Breakfast is functional with school dinners coffee, albeit nice pastries.

Great little hotel
Beautifully clean, tastefully decorated room but a little on the small side. Staff excellent as were grounds and pool. Restaurant good and very reasonably priced, especially the wine. Breakfast was ok but we felt the homemade bread was a little in the heavy side compared to what we had elsewhere. A couple of very small issues which had no overall impact on the quality of our stay which we enjoyed very much indeed. We would love to return and highly recommend the hotel for ease of access to sights in the area and its peaceful country location. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely peaceful place to stay
This is a charming hotel in extensive grounds with many beautiful trees, notably the century-old olive trees. The ambiance is relaxing and welcoming. The breakfast buffet is wide ranging and delicious. The hotel accommodated the need for a gluten-free diet easily and prepared freshly-made bread rolls each day.

Beautiful and peaceful stay
We stayed here for a long weekend, the room was extremely clean and cool, simple decor but you don't need much when it's so gorgeous outside! The food is really good, we had lunch and dinner a couple of times and breakfast has a great variety of things to choose from. The pool is crystal clear and is in a lovely position surrounded by lawns and olive trees. We liked it so much that we are planning to go back next year!

Very special Hotel
This hotel is a real Gem, immaculately clean, attentive service and spectacular surroundings. Food is good, town is not too far away if you want to eat out (10mins). The grounds and pool are like a 5 star retreat and its reaonably priced £12 for main course, drinks same as UK. If youhave kids and want to go the beach there are several within 20-30 mins

Zen Olive Farm House
Perfect setting for leaving behind all worldly worries. Friendly, helpful and very efficient staff. A little more generosity in towels and toiletries without sacrificing environmental emphasis could be welcome as the nearest town center is quite far. I loved whatever little time I spent @ the Masseria despite the super noisy guests who used the pool for snorkel and diving training with their noisier children. But that's not the hotel's fault.

Great hub from which to explore SE Sicily
While this place is well off the beaten track it is well worth finding. It is a very relaxing place to stay and a great base point from which to venture out. The icing on the cake comes in the evening when you can retreat to the restaurant and enjoy some real culinary treats. The pride and passion the staff had about their food and wine was contagious.
