Dimora delle Balze

Beautiful design and location, but for this price we expected much more. Rooms Are dark with bad ventilation. The hotel is understaffed and the same staff (sadly) seem to work long hours with no days off (the same 3 people never had breaks the entire week we were there) There is no consistent poolside service we had to chase down someone for drinks many times finding no one, again for the price range not acceptable service. The biggest problem was the hotel seemed to host private events at night and given the small size it was extremely disruptive, noisy, and we were forced to drive far outside for food (10-30 minutes) several occasions. Being a guest at a small hotel when the only restaurant on site is being used for an event made our stay difficult. The staff were nice and the location beautiful, but overall disappointing.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue to have your wedding DO IT!! What an AMAZING venue!!! The scenery was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I DJ’d there for a couple for 2 days and all I can say is the VENUE!! Oh WOW! The couple had a string section in the court yard. So many different spots to have dinner in!! On the final night the party was held just near the pool area and the view alone was breathtaking!! I would highly recommend this venue for hosting a wedding as the staff are super friendly too! Very helpful!

The hotel - the entire property, the rooms, the grounds, the pool and surrounding scenery are breathtaking. However, my husband and I had the misfortune of booking a wedding here June of 2020 and it was the most heart-wrenching, terrible, compassionate-less experience one could have imagined. Obviously the entire world and the business were going through lots of chaos and everyone was terrified of COVID and dealing with real health risks. We understood this and were willing to work with whatever we could salvage from the scenario given the hardships felt on all sides. However, over the course of two years and numerous back and forth with rescheduling and then finally needing to cancel due to immense travel restrictions in 2021, this hotel treated us with such little respect. They refused to offer us even a portion of our deposit back nor did they even offer to give back a portion of our deposit as a stay credit, even in the off-season. We lost about 20K euros from the deposit and absolutely nothing back. I feel compelled to write this now, even after all these years as I feel those who are looking at this hotel as a venue should be warned. I see natural disasters (severe weather, fires) and unplanned scenarios unfortunately continuing to unfold and want future couples to know how this hotel will treat you should that ever happen to anyone else.

The absolute best!! Words do not do not adequately describe the experience - magnificent breakfast on the terrace - romantic dinner overlooking pool - food was all amazing - service superb - friendly but not formal - special thanks to Alfio and Sante - we stayed in large Anunciata room amazing - huge bath for 2 - candles - beautiful antique furniture and paintings - we were also lucky to have met the Hotel owner Elena who was so friendly and warm and is the design creator of the hotel - the hotel design is very stylish and sophisticated - we definitely recommend and will be back

Super rapport qualité prix service. Une équipe professionnelle et attentive au bonheur de ses clients. Petit déjeuner très complet sur une jolie terrasse qui surplombe un vallon vierge de toute construction. Grande chambre agréable et ménage impeccable. Jolie piscine mais hélas pas chauffée donc un peu difficile de s’y baigner en mai même si certains le font. À noter la cuisine du restaurant est bonne mais un peu chère. Sinon l’hôtel est à 25 mn en voiture de Noto et la route est belle et sinon jolie plage à découvrir un peu plus loin à Eloro.
