We spent one night in Sant Elia as we wanted to experience all types of overnight stays (salt mill accomodation, palazzo-hotel, 4* hotels and agritourismo). We have been more than surprised by Sant Elia. The rooms are 4* for Sicily. The house have been renovated with lots of love and deep know-how (without harming the ancient basic fabric in a breathtaking way: Quality solid wood furniture and settings as well as antique soil flows (not everywhere). You are instantly part of the family and you can start philosophical discussions with the proprietress. She speaks perfect German as she lived in Munich: Nochmals vielen lieben Dank - wir können Euch nur mehr als weiterempfehlen. Aber jeder der kommt wird das ohnehin tun. Ancora tante grazie per la caldissima accolienza e per le discussioni che mi aiuteranno molto per il lavoro.

A late review, but heartfelt.
We loved our stay in Agriturismo Sant’Elia. My husband, my 20 months old and I, stayed at the agriturismo for 1 week in June and we had a wonderful time. The accommodation was lovely and the thought and care that has been put into decorating the agriturismo was obvious. The apartment was large (large kitchen, living room, good size bedroom and bathroom) very clean and nice, with old style furniture and a nice patio where we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There was a nice large garden were we could just sit and relax and where our kid could play. The location is handy to many sights and activities, just 10 minutes from the beautiful beach of Fontane Bianche. 15 minutes from Siracusa, 20 from Noto.
The hospitality is really the best! Cristina, her mum and Sanjey are all very nice and helpful. Definitely a warm and welcoming ambience! A big plus for Dolly, the house dog. Our son loved her and the cats, and we did as well.
We could not recommend it enough and definitely we would return in a heartbeat.

This lovely country hotel is located in a flat area of the countryside near Siracusa, Italy. The flat terrain, bright sunlight, lush vegetation with tall palm trees, are reminiscent of California desert resorts ambiance, a la Palm Springs. The lodge building is a delicious blend of modern motel standards and ancient Sicilian homesteads. Room decor is cozy, fixtures are carefully engineered (for example doors and windows have clever panels with a bugscreen to let in the air but not the insects), furniture is old-fashion rural style. The premises are spacious, with plenty of parking space, crop fields to gaze at or to stroll about, colorful flowers to please your eye and singing birds to amuse your ears. You can just sit in front of your room on an elevated porch and take fresh air in, full of blossom scents, while protected from the sun by a gracious woody veranda. Breakfast is varied and tasty with fresh fruit and homemade jams along with the usual fare. The host, Cristina, and her collaborator Sangey (spelling?) welcome you with warmth and go the extra mile to make sure you are well. Cristina is not only a passionate farmer but also a competent hotel master and travel advisor. I overheard her give advise and directions to tourists about nearby places I know very well, and I found them correct and accurate. I definitely recommend staying in this place.
