We had the most wonderful experience staying at Tenuta Olive Alive last weekend! My partner and I wanted to get away from city life and could not have chosen a better place to do so. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, exactly what we were looking for. We booked our stay outside of season in November and were lucky to be the only guests in the villa which made the experience even more unique. The villa overlooks the beautiful city of Noto and the views are breathtaking. Italo was the best host that we could have asked for! He made us feel so welcome and made sure our stay was unforgettable. On Friday and Sunday, we had a private dinner at the property where Italo cooked seafood and traditional Sicilian dishes for us with vegetables from his garden. It felt very intimate like having a private chef cooking just for us. This was an incredible experience, every meal was made with such care and love. The breakfast we had every day was also amazing with a lot of sweet and savoury choices. The highlight for me was the freshly squeezed juice from blood oranges - I have a soft spot for freshly squeezed juices. On Sunday we used the SPA and had a massage by Sorin. He was very professional and he is also such a nice person easy to talk to. We relaxed fully on our last day. Even though it was November, I still managed to have a dip in the pool with beautiful views and catch the last bits of sun. I am a big animal lover so I was in heaven, surrounded by Clio the dog and the cats. Paulina the cat especially stole both our hearts! She hung out with us the whole stay there and was so extremely adorable!! Our room, Noto, was very spacious, sunny and clean. There was everything we needed inside as well as fridge with cold drinks. The room was cleaned daily by a very lovely lady. I have never experienced such thorough and detailed housekeeping before. The lovely housekeeping lady made sure that the room looked like we just arrived and also aired it out daily. It was one of the best housekeeping experiences I’ve ever had. The distance from the property to Noto town is not walkable and requires a car, but there are taxis available and it’s only an 8-minute drive. Overall our stay was better than we could imagine. The property was so beautiful and well taken care of with breathtaking views from every part. We will definitely be back when we come back to Sicily even just to have a chat with Italo, he is such a lovely and warm person.

Fabulous We had a great 3 nights here. Lovely room with a courtyard and views across the hills and countryside to Noto. It's a real home from home with a small team of dedicated staff which includes the owner who carefully curates your stay. It was warm enough to use the outdoor pool so we didn't venture into the spa. The grounds have art, poetry and various seating areas that make for a unique stay. We also ate one night at the property which was one of the best meal we had in Sicily. Highly recommended.

Giuseppe Iacono 2025.11.08

Vorrei chiedere alla struttura come mai non è possibile soggiornare per 1 giorno,non credo che sia una cosa giusta,raramente ho visto una cosa del genere

Reply from Tenuta Olive Alive - Wellness Hotel a Noto 2025.11.08

Caro Giuseppe, in qualità di esercenti siamo autorizzati a prevedere un limite minimo di due notti per una prenotazione.
La legge infatti non vieta di applicare un limite minimo per le finalità di gestione della struttura.
Ci dispiace che la nostra policy non vada incontro alle sue esigenze ma riteniamo poco corretto da parte sua lasciarci una recensione senza che abbia soggiornato nella nostra struttura

Excellent. Hope to be back sometime. ☺ Beautiful location, the hotel is small and authentic. Italo and his team are always ready to help, recommend and have a chat. The on site breakfasts and dinners are small and intimate, we loved meeting some interesting and like minded fellow travellers. The food was home made and delicious (thank you to Amanda for the desserts) . All round an exceptional spot to enjoy Noto and surrounds.

Good ☺ Beautiful land and garden and pool. ☹ The hotel was branded as a welness hotel but we came the sauna was shut and found out its extra charge 100 euros to use it so this is not actually labelled correctly especially that we paid for the massage .

Reply from Tenuta Olive Alive - Wellness Hotel a Noto

Thank you for your review and for appreciating our garden and pool. The SPA, as well as massages, is a private service available upon reservation and with an additional cost, clearly indicated on our website and on Booking. I’ll be glad to welcome you personally on your next visit.

Idyllic place to relax with stunning views What a wonderful, beautiful, calming place this is. We stayed three nights at the end of a two week holiday in Sicily and utterly loved every minute. It’s up in the hills overlooking Noto and with only five rooms, you’re assured of a peaceful stay. We stayed in ‘Etna’ and it was just perfect. The road up to the place is quite challenging but well worth it. The view from the pool is simply sublime and you will have to tear yourself away to go out. We dined there on the first night (your host Italo will cook for you by the pool upon request) and we went out into Noto the other two nights. Italo was very helpful in giving us a list of places he recommends to eat but ask for this in advance of your stay - the two we most wanted to try were fully booked at the short notice we needed. Highly recommend this place, just can’t fault it at all.

A scenic stay with a very kind host (with the cutest pets!). We stayed for three nights at the end of our trip. Dinner at the property is an absolute must - he is an incredible chef! Italo is managing a beautiful business with a very personal and family feel. I hope to visit again in my next trip to Sicily! Thank you from your visitors from Toronto, Canada!

Rudi & Gino 2025.09.09

Simply fantastic for the price we paid. It was our first time in Sicily, and the hotel we booked was a perfect fit. It's truly nestled in a green oasis of tranquility and stunning views. The rooms are beautiful and equipped with everything you need for daily needs. The host was very friendly and helped us every day with our plans for fantastic places in the area. The pool is a real bonus after our excursions. And let's not forget the breakfast. Everything is fresh every day. The jams are delicious, and the cakes, freshly prepared by the lovely lady, are simply delicious. If we return to Sicily, we will definitely book this hotel again. Rudi and Gino

Nothing but amazing views and pure relaxation ☺ The property was beautiful. Amazing venues. Tranquil and relaxin. ☹ The drive up to the top can be quite challenging with the narrow turns, especially at night.

Reply from Tenuta Olive Alive - Wellness Hotel a Noto

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased you found the Tenuta to be a place of beauty and true relaxation that's exactly what we hope to offer our guests.
You're right, the drive up can be a bit challenging, especially at night with the narrow turns, but many guests find that this small effort makes the peace and views at the top feel even more rewarding.
We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime for another peaceful break in the Sicilian countryside.

Staying at Tenuta Olive Alive was a highlight of our two week Sicily trip. The property is beautiful and the service is fantastic, with a much more personal feel than a standard hotel/resort. The room we stayed in was very comfortable while having an Italian countryside chicness to it. Other highlights include the delicious homemade food, relaxing pool areas and close proximity to Noto. I highly recommend considering Tenuta Olive Alive

Rejuvenating retreat with spectacular views over Noto ☺ A delightful stay. Such a beautiful tranquil property with a wonderful host Italo and his team, including delightful Amanda to take such good care of us. We felt extremely rejuvenated after our getaway at this beautiful gem. The whole property, including the pool area, has a spectacular view over Noto.

Exceptional ☺ Fabulous owner, Italo, who was always available, answered our questions, provided great recommendations in Noto and even gave us a lift into town on one occasion. The property is out of town, on a hilltop with breathtaking views of Noto and the countryside. It is secluded, with a beautiful pool. We enjoyed a delicious dinner around the pool (four courses), Italo organised a masseur to come one day. It was the most relaxing stay during our holiday in Sicily. Highly recommend.

Reply from Tenuta Olive Alive - Wellness Hotel a Noto

Dear Timothy,
thank you so much for your generous words. It was truly a pleasure to welcome you to the Tenuta, and knowing that your stay with us was the most relaxing part of your holiday in Sicily brings us great joy. We always strive to offer an authentic and personal experience, and hearing that you enjoyed the little things – like dinner under the stars, the views over the countryside, and some local tips to explore Noto – is the best reward we could ask for.
Warm regards from me and the whole team,
Italo
