Family hotels and homes in Mazzarino

Rita was truly a fantastic host and the Relais Palmento is gorgeous. I only stayed for two nights but I had such a relaxing time and really enjoyed myself. The rooms are beautiful and the whole place is recently renovated and pristine but with lots of character. Breakfast was so tasty with lots of local treats. I didn't have a car but it wasn't a problem as the village centre is a short walk and Rita was very helpful with organising transport. I would love to return soon.

Right in the middle of the village. Very clean and comfortable. Good breakfast included at the cafe close by.

A nice clean room. The location is with a great view. A good breakfast.

very good. We had a great diner

Very clean and modern, very friendly and helpful hosts. Big public free parking 100m away.

We left Taormina after breakfast and arrived at the Villa Romana del Casale before noon. The remains of the 4th century villa is definitely a unique stop while touring the island. Leaving the villa, it was a short drive through Piazza Armerina to the beautiful B&B Villa Bentivoglio. Our B&B hosts, Valentina & Luigi, welcomed us to their beautiful, typical Sicilian country home. The whole time we were with this lovely couple, we used the handy ‘Translate app,’ to accurately communicate. We were staying only one night so we were lodging in the recently renovated main house. After unloading luggage, Valentina offered us snacks and drink while telling us about the Villas property and amenities. She offered suggestions for dinner in Piazza Armerina, and shared there is also a pizza delivery service that will come to the villa. We drove into town, but decided to return to B&B Villa Bentivoglio without dinner, finding ourselves alone in the house. We were unsuccessful ordering from the pizza delivery service. We called Valentina and Luigi, who were in town, and explained our mess-up and asked them if they would call the delivery service for us. Our hosts offered to assist us. Foregoing dinner in town, Valentina and Luigi returned to the B&B, sharing FOUR pizzas and arancini. Luigi even opened a bottle of the wine created on their property! We were welcomed at their table as family. This 2-hour meal, communicating via the translator, was one of our favorite meals in Sicily, sharing stories and lots of laughs. The next morning, we enjoyed a hot breakfast, prepared by Giusy, by the pool. After breakfast, Luigi gave us a personal tour of the whole property, showing us the stand-alone, newly renovated guest villas, the garden and areas for future expansion. Luigi put the Land Rover in 4WD and we climbed to the top of the property to view the whole area. Luigi is very proud of the property… as he should be.

Best place for foodies! One of the highlights of our journey!

Lovely comfortable room, beautifully decorated. Great location. Quiet. Friendly accommodating hosts. We felt very welcome. The breakfast was great--so many choices.

Abundant breakfast and catered very well for coeliacs.

A 200-year-old fully restored building, decorated with antique objects from the owners’ own family, arranged in a way that blends beautifully with the typically Sicilian atmosphere. What I felt was missing, in my opinion, was a small fridge in the room.
