From the Guest Book
Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
We had the most perfect vacation ever at Tenuta Falconeri! The setting could not have been more perfect - the grounds were breathtaking, with lush gardens, glorious pools, peaceful corners, and views that seemed to stretch endlessly. The villa itself offered both comfort and charm, but it was the thoughtful details that made our time so special. The in-house chef treated us daily to exquisite meals, each one capturing the flavors and traditions of Sicily in the most delicious way. The owner of the property came by personally on several occasions, making sure that every need was met and that we felt completely at home. We have been very fortunate to have been able to stay in many wonderful places throughout the world, but truly, your villa Tenuta Falconeri was one of the most special places and left us with incredible memories.

The Area
Tenuta Falconeri rises on the crest of a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea and Sicily's southeast coastline, from Syracuse to near Noto.
Should you wish to venture out from the delightful confines of Tenuta Falconeri, there is much to see nearby, starting with Syracuse, whose historic island centre, Ortigia, and world-famous archaeological site is a 20-minute drive away. One of Sicily's most beautiful and intriguing town's, Syracuse is home to numerous excellent restaurants, bars, independent shops and a flourishing food market.
Other towns within easy reach include Noto, Modica, Ragusa, and Scicli, whose glorious baroque town centres are united as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In terms of restaurants, shops and other amenities, Cassibile and Fontane Bianche are less than 10 minutes away. Fontane Bianche is also home to a beautiful bay and arc of golden sand.
Other beaches nearby include those of Gelsomineto (a little paradise) and Arenella, which are about 10 and 20 minutes away respectively. You may also wish to venture further south to Vendicari Nature Reserve, home not only to a succession of gorgeous beaches, but also migrating flamingos, nesting turtles and the remains of an old tonnara (tuna fishing station) dating back to Arab times, some 1,000 years ago.
For those in search of the outdoors, there is some good walking in the nature reserves of Cassibile and Pantalica, this latter home to a prehistoric necropolis.
