Amazing stay here! The staff go above and beyond to make your holiday perfect! Our room was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The pool area was so relaxing that we did not leave the property every day. Italo cooked us some excellent meals and , on the days we ate away from the hotel, his recommendations for meals were very good. We would be happy to return!

The property at Tenuta Olive Alive was just beautiful — villas spread apart so well that you hardly see anyone else. Surrounded by olive, fig, lime, and walnut trees, it felt peaceful and private. The homemade Dinner was stunning. The pasta Norman was on a whole different level, honestly way better than a highly rated restaurant we tried in Noto. Everything was clearly crafted with care. A true gem, and one I’d go back to in a heartbeat.

A little corner of heaven just outside Noto

Simply wonderful! Everything about this place is beautiful: the views from the property, the olive and orange trees, the sounds of the Sicilian country side, the decorations and details of the rooms and common areas, the infinity swimming pool, and the warm kindness of Mr. Italo and his wife. We'll carry with us wonderful memories of our time at the Tenuta.

We stayed 5 nights at Tenuta Olive Alive and loved it! We used Noto as a bounce off point to visit several towns in the area (Siracusa-Ortigia, Modica, Ragusa Ibla etc). A short drive into Noto itself. Fantastic accom, took advantage of the rain outdoor spaces for some meals, made good use of the pool. Our host, Italo was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. He cooked for us one night - which was sensational. We are a family of four, incl two younger children. They loved the loft style bedroom they had. The shutters allowed for us to get a couple of nice sleep ins too. Highly recommend this accom for anyone visiting the area.

Wonderful oasis of tranquility.

We intended just to stay for two nights and ended up staying five. Tenuta Olive Alive is a wonderful, secluded oasis of peace and beauty, overlooking the picturesque town of Noto, with a view of the Ionian sea in the distance. The somewhat tricky drive up to the Tenuta is rewarded with beautiful views and a lovely place to stay. Italo and his lovely wife are freliendly and knowledgeable, Amanda who prepares and served breakfast is fantastic and Aurora quietly ensures the room is clean and tidy. I particularly loved the hammock by the pool (unfortunately the latter is not heated) and the view. Bird song greeted us every morning. Next time I will try the spa! Thank you to all at Olive Alive for a memorable stay.

A perfect place with a fantastic host.

Immaculate place in the hills just outside Noto. The infinity pool is very quiet and with an amazing view. Italo is a fantastic host, and took very good care of us. He cooked us a lovely private dinner by the poolside overlooking the valley. We one small issue with a broken airconditioning unit, which Italo immediately and perfectly handled by moving us to a different room with working AC, and had an engineer in the next morning so we could move back into the room we had booked. Fantastic breakfast with lots of home made items, including the bread and spreads, cakes, fresh juice and vegetables. They had a list of recommended places for dinner which was very helpful. The driveway is a bit bumpy, but very much worth it.

Our host, Italo, went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant, including contacting a driver for hire since the property is located away from central Noto. It's a beautiful property but you must have a car and be prepared for the tight, winding drive up to the villa.

Paradiesisch!

Wir haben hier sehr erholsame 5 Nächte im Bungalow Cornucopia verbracht. Das Zimmer mit privater Terrasse war äußerst gemütlich (Bett sehr komfortabel mit Federkissen, neues Badezimmer mit großer Dusche und Fenster) und liebevoll eingerichtet. Durch die Entfernung von ca. 50 m zur Hauptvilla bot das Zimmer sehr viel Privatsphäre, was uns ausgesprochen gut gefallen hat. Die gesamte Anlage inklusive traumhaftem Pool (zzgl. 2 Whirlpools) mit Panoramablick auf Noto ist ausgesprochen gepflegt und mit viel Liebe zum Detail angelegt. Der Service beim exzellenten Frühstück (quasi alles hausgemacht) sowie die Reinigung des Zimmers waren ausgezeichnet. Das Personal war super herzlich, ebenso wie die Besitzer Italo und Dominique. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Grazie mille per il bellissimo soggiorno!
