Life Hotels Kalaonda Resort

“Excellent stay”

We loved this place in the countryside near Siracusa. Tastefully remodeled facility. Our unit was spacious, with air conditioning (necessary as the outside temperature was >40C/104F for a couple of days). You will need a car to get around.

This hotel is the perfect couples retreat for anyone wanting a peaceful base to explore the South Eastern Sicilian coast. The hotel is set in beautifully converted grounds and the large swimming pool is perfect for relaxing or for getting those lengths in. The staff were all delightful and more than accommodating, especially the lovely night porter! We ate on the last night of our stay from the restaurant menu and sat by the pool watching the water glistening and the stars above whole lot by candle light. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. There is enough in the local area at the village of Isola or towards the Plemmerio riserva to enjoy evenings out with good food. Or a taxi can be arranged through the hotel for €20 each way. We will definitely be back in the future.

I did not actually stay at this hotel but was here everyday for 5 days as my family stayed here and we hosted a wedding. Rooms are amazing, spacious and modernly decorated. The grounds are just as lovely with a nice pool area. The staff for the most part were lovely but not very accommodating. The restaurant is not very child friendly (although the chef is a great guy) and they do not allow outside food to be eaten in there seating areas which I find strange as most hotels in Catania encourage you to try their local restaurants. This is definitely a location that is more enjoyed if you have a car but there is supermarket 10 minutes walk from the site. The snacks/drinks on sale there are very expensive, I paid 3 euros for a small bottle of coke and the supermarket 10 minutes walk away sold it for one euro (if you want more money spent at your venue look at your pricing and menu options) The Wedding The wedding was amazing and they made the scenery like something out of a movie GORGEOUS!! The food was nicely presented and tasted lovely but not enough child friendly options. They also have a place that holds events next door which happened to be hosting a party the same night as the wedding, in turn that party ruined the speeches as they decided to put the music on full blast during this point of the wedding (the staff did not address the noise problem from the other party which was disappointing). overall this is a lovely place that with some fine tuning can easily become a 5 star resort.
