Borgo Vita Novella

This hotel was fantastic. Such a calm, peaceful place. Room was spacious, clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Pool area was very well kept, clean and plenty of sunbeds and sun shades.

I’m giving it a 5. The effort the staff are putting in deserves a 5 but I want it to be even better. It has so much potential! Close to perfect. If I were to organise a wedding abroad I’d absolutely do it here. Liked · Excellent breakfast. Lovely and wide choice. The food that we ordered was of a very high quality. They have a great system here. They use your mobile to set up what’s app and then you can get whatever you need when you are by the incredible pool. They simply bring everything to you. It’s lovely and makes you feel special. You never have to leave your sun loungers. There are great areas to sit slightly away from the pool area as well. A 25 m infinity pool and so many beds it felt like your own luxury villa. The room is upstairs and downstairs. Simply wonderful and serviced daily. Air conditioning was great. We loved the room. Great big bed as well. The staff were fantastic. Ignazio was very charming and friendly. We had a couple of issues with pests which they acted on immediately. It’s in the countryside so to be expected and beyond the control of the hotel in the first instance but they fixed it in any case. The grounds are substantially and very well maintained. This location would be perfect for a wedding. Outstanding in fact. The parking is free and the availability far exceeds demand. I would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend others to do the same. You could buy lunch. There were two main options. A fish sharing board and a cheese/meat sharing board. Both very substantial. I noted on another review that they had a wonderful pasta alla norma but there was no longer any pasta options. Lunch ends at 2 pm but the young lady kindly did us the cheese and meat option after the kitchen staff had left. You can get snacks and sandwiches also. Great security. We are always fair and we give out constructive feedback so guests are aware but more importantly so that the venue can improve from very good to excellent. I really got the impression that the accommodation is in Marzamemi but it’s not.Its closer to Pachino. I’d made a note on my plans, ‘ walk into village everyday for long lunches’ . Marzamemi is 10 minutes by car. Just over an hour on foot. I asked the staff how long it would take to walk there. The kind lady told me in no uncertain terms not to walk there as it would be too dangerous. I drove there, she was correct. No pavements/sidewalks and probably less safe than walking on a F1 track. Taxi 30€ return! So I had to not sample the fantastic local wines with my meals as I didn’t want to drink and drive. So as its location is remote and one has to drive to have dinner as the accommodation doesn’t offer anything substantial after 2pm it is a negative. Borgo Vita Novella has incredible potential. I feel guests would stay and have dinner if it were provided. The grounds are so large that entertainment could be provided with meals and drinks until 11 pm even. The 8 pm cut off is a bit like being a small child
