Donna Coraly Country Boutique Hotel

We had 3 nights here - our room was beautiful the grounds are lovely and very extensive there are 2 pools but I always had the large one to myself! The staff are quite delightful so helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant is wonderful and beautifully prepared and presented. It’s just so peaceful !

We stayed fior 3 Nights and wished that we had planned a full week. This is a really beautiful resort, particularly cared with love and attention by its owner. The grounds are amazing and the rooms beautifully decorated. We also had dinner at their fine dining restaurant which was good. Servitosi super friendly and faultless. Strongly recommend for a romantic stay or a girlfriends weekend.

We arrived at Donna Coraly to be greeted by the lovely and enthusiastic Corrado who took great pleasure in showing us around the beautiful estate, telling us the fascinating history (it was the site of the Italy Alliance armistice signing in 2043) and showing us the gardens and grounds. Despite a long drive across country from Scopello we were charmed and at ease and then excited at the prospect of dining at La Raituna, the restaurant on site that is now operated by Vincenzo di Falco, a celebrated chef (which we discovered, was for very good reason). Our room Angelica had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, a private garden and a dressing room…Ortigia toiletries… beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, lovely touches like our own flip flops (mine broke in Scopello). The only sadness I had was leaving earlier than I hoped due to the Catania air traffic diverted to Trapani and consequently our stay was cut short, the only time of our holiday I felt rather tearful… Lucia the owner was so welcoming, it really is something special that she has created and continues to develop… now 9 or 10 rooms, a beautiful orangerie and 2 natural bio pools… enough space to completely relax and more staff than guests… it really was practically perfect in every way… I want to go back for my birthday… please please stay open in November - just so I can return and stay for longer! Grazie mille for looking after us so well - Donna Coraly is somewhere special.

Donna Coraly is the best place I've been too in Sicily, small homely place with beautiful interior and exterior. The food is something really special, breakfast, lunch and dinner all. A real treasure and very close to Syracusa. Definetly one of the very best stays I've ever had in my life.

We found this wonderful place as I was searching for the chef, Vincezo Di falco, after discovering he had closed his fantastic restaurant in Syracuse. Although we only spent the day here, on the return to Catania at the end of our holiday, we are so glad we did and intend to stay one or two nights on our return to Sicily. On arrival, we were met at the car and our bags carried to the pool area, where we had the choice of wonderfully comfortable loungers, each with beautifully soft towels and flip flops ready waiting. A complimentary glass of prosecco was then brought to us. Soon Lucia, the owner who's vision is responsible for this whole project, appeared to say "hello" and, when I asked if could see a room, proceeded to give us a detailed tour of the who place. We had lunch in the orangery, which, whilst not Vincenzo's full dinner menu, was, as we have come to expect from him, absolutely first class. Muhammad is again the "front of house" with regards to food, and so the service was first class too. As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, it all started when I found Vincenzo's previous restaurant had closed, which I found hard to understand but, having visited Donna Coraly, I now understand why he has moved here. The whole estate has been developed with thought, imagination, flair, and care to every detail.
