We stayed for 3 nights coming from a marvellous place such as fattoria mosé in agrigento, and it was so.....ordinary! The tennants are two elder locals with their daughter, they have a restaurant which is not really special... The room cleaned but standard fake country furnished, and this make it a bit sad... The garden is perfectly kept but it... More

We wanted a location close to Syracusa and this was great. Need a car to get around. Beautiful grounds. The rooms were clean and simple. We arrived on a holiday so the grounds were active with families. When they left after eating we were alone for the night. Dora is wonderful. She is helpful and a wonderful source of information...

It's a farm. A lemon farm. I will mention that first. This is very good, welcoming, down to earth, rustic charmed accommodation in the heart of the Sicilian countryside; roughly 10km from Siracusa. Dora and her family have been running Limoneto for about 20 years now; and they are lovely, friendly people. The rooms are a decent size and a... More

We enjoyed our stay here. The host is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very nice and are in bungalos, but solidly built. This is a lemon farm and it is nice to walk around. It is quiet unless they have a party at the restaurant, which does happen on weekends or holidays, so beware as a lot of... More

Could not believe this place in light of the reports on reputable websites and books such as Sawdays. What I could not believe even more was the response of the proprietor to a previous report in november 2010 which also describes it as terrible. On that basis I am sure the owners will also think of my report that I... More

This place was a huge disappointment and we were very surprised by the descrepancy of our experience and the description of the website. There is no contact from the owners except for handing us a key upon arrival and then asking for cash payment at the end. Our room was dark, damp and cold with very little natural light. Bars...

We booked here not only for the location close to Syracuse and Ragusa/Noto area, but also because of recommendations from Karen Brown, Frommers and Sawdays guidebooks. In our month of travelling the south of Italy, this place was our only dog. Although the grounds are pleasant, our welcome was non-existent; the owner was having lunch and was not pleased to... More

I can't understand how anyone would criticise the restaurant at Limoneto. The food was the best we had in all of Sicily and the owners were incredibly helpful and friendly, if asked. The location is a short drive from Siracuse, and it was an excellent place to relax and acclimatise at the start of a holiday. You can easily visit... More

I can understand why Il Limoneto has received mixed reviews. My feeling is that the owners have lost the plot about "agriturismo" - probably as a result of the influence of their children, who now take an interest in the property, they are turning it into more of a hotel resort and moving away from the true agriturismo culture. The... More
