My husband and I celebrated our wedding with friends at Valle di Mare this Spring. I booked almost all the rooms for the weekend and organized a small ceremony and the reception at the resort. The place was just perfect. Staff: The owners Anna, Alessandro, Lara and Alessia are just amazing people that helped all the way accommodating every request with kindness and grace. Their team helping out at the resort (bar, restaurant, rooms) is outstanding and a special thanks go to Noemi, who was extraordinary in helping us out during the whole weekend. If you want to organize a classy wedding or any other kind of party tailored to your need Anna is the perfect person to contact. She has great organizational and emotional intelligence and has been my understanding my needs and anticipating my requests better than any wedding planner could ever do. Location: 10/10 the garden is stunning, the resort has 27/28 rooms which are connected to the poll/restaurant area and reception. The beach is 10 minutes away and reachable through a very beautiful walk in the Sicilian vegetation (lemon trees, figs and olive trees). The resort is a bit outside but walking distance from Fontane Bianche, so only 15 minutes by car away from both Siracusa, Avola and Noto. Marzamemi and Ragusa are also easily reachable and the place is easily reachable from CTA and Comiso airports. The resort has plenty of parking space. So all my friends were in the same place at different times of day and not just for the actual ceremony, at the same time they were able to easily tour nearby beautiful locations! Food: 10/10; Breakfast Sicilian style was very good. The restaurant and bar service was spotless. The catering at the reception exactly as I requested - the wine was very high quality and the oysters huge!! Overall very fairly priced. Accommodations: the rooms are very very clean and pretty. There is no wifi in the rooms but you are not gonna spend much time there as the nature around is so gorgeous and there is a lot to do, Internet can be easily accessed around the reception area and reception is good with data.

“Good”

Everything was good, a nice location in the middle of a beatiful garden, with a generous swimming pool. Rooms are ok even if a bit dated and with no windows. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They give us the chance of a late checkout without charge. really appreciated. A special thanks to Ma… more

They give us the chance of a late checkout without charge. really appreciated. A special thanks to Marco, the guy taking care of breakfasts... really nice and smart. Food at breakfast very good. In general a positive experience I would suggest to people want to relax and want to be located near the beaches of Fontane Bianche. Maybe a bit overpriced but again it's a good choice. Point of attention: the resort can be very busy cause very popular for local events (EG weddings).

“Definitely not 4 star”

This is definitely not a 4 star resort, 3 star at best. The positives are very nice surrounding gardens, very good pool, very good breakfast (with fresh eggs), staff friendly and attentive, trying their best for the customers, ample secure parking, very close to the beach (with public beach areas… more

This is definitely not a 4 star resort, 3 star at best. The positives are very nice surrounding gardens, very good pool, very good breakfast (with fresh eggs), staff friendly and attentive, trying their best for the customers, ample secure parking, very close to the beach (with public beach areas which are free) where it is safe to swim. There is WiFi but only in the reception/breakfast area. You will definitely need a car and drive to Syracuse for restaurants, bars, shops and wonderfully picturesque old town (the best in Sicily). The downsides are the rooms are dark and gloomy (though the bathrooms are good size and brighter) and beds and pillows are hard and rather worn. No soap. You must keep all doors and windows shut at all times otherwise you'll be massacred by mosquitoes. It's a long walk to find any bars or restaurants (extremely limited choice in Fontana Bianci). The beach is small and dirty. Unfortunately during our stay there were heavy thunderstorms resulting in some flooding and the water poured into the room through light fittings and air conditioning unit. So the chalets desperately need maintenance and updating.
