I chose Life Hotels Kalaonda Resort because of its proximity to the Ciane River and Saline Nature Reserve, a place I was eager to visit. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming lobby and the excellent service provided by the 24-hour reception and check-out service. The traditional cuisine served at Kalaonda Plemmirio's modern restaurant was also a highlight, with delicious and authentic dishes made with local ingredients.

Syracusa has many nice restaurants, but in summertime, early arrival is necessary to avoid traffic jams.

Peace and quite, rooms are big and confortable

Internet slow and only available in the reception. Avoid laundry service, one stained piece of clothing, clothing returned full of detergent spots and full of creases.

The hotel is in the countryside, so it is very quite. It is also very well restored from an old farm building. The courtyard with the old stone washboard is very suggestive.

The last trait of road to the hotel is not made up, so the car gets dirty very easily, but that seems to be very common there.

We had a great stay in this peaceful countryside hotel with friendly and professional staff. Clean and spacious rooms with a beautiful pool, perfect for a relaxing day. We enjoyed the tasty and varied breakfast. Parking was easy and convenient, and having a car available allowed us to explore the area and find good places to eat.

Nothing negative to say.

Very quite, spacey rooms,clean, beautiful pool, lovely breakfast. Very friendly stuff. Easy to get to Siracusa by car. Small shop near by and a few nice paces to eat. Farms all around.(We stayed at the end of September)

The bathroom could be better for this hotel and price, internet was not working( but maybe it was only a temporally problem)

Nestled within a beautifully restored farm dating back to the late 19th century, this hotel provided the perfect retreat for our family. It is conveniently located just a few kilometres away from the archaeological sites of Syracuse and the historic centre of Ortygia, including the striking Greek theatre. The spacious suites were ideal for our large family, offering separate living and sleeping areas for added comfort.

For families with children, my children wanted to have more recreational activities specifically designed for them.

We liked the pleasant quiteness of the Hotel. It is placed in the middle of agricultural land, just 15 minutes by car from the center of Syracuse. It is a good deal if you want to enjoy Syracuse during all the day, but if you want at the same time to enjoy a relaxing bath in the well cared swimming pool of the Hotel, or if you want to go to the good (private) Beaches of the closer beach site called Arenella, (just another 12 minutes from the Hotel Driving). The Hotel Staff was friendly, and always really willing to help. The best a 9/10 for them¡¡. Basically a good, clean and relaxing Hotel which will serve you as start-point to visit Syracuse or other Towns like Noto or Modica by car. Your children will enjoy the swimming pool.

Certainly I would improve the quality of the Internet Connection. Right now it is only accesible in the common areas of the Hotel (Swimming Pool, Lobby, etc) but not in the rooms...What is a little bit off-date in the XXI century. The refrigerator of my room spilled some water, not a major problem since it was in my last day ... the Hotel Staff just placed - as quick solution- a towel in the floor in front of the refrigerator to avoid the water spread all the room good enough for a day, but should be fixed for the next¡¡.

This hidden gem is a perfect tranquil escape, surrounded by lush gardens and only a 10-minute walk to the sea. The breakfast offers a delightful spread of fresh local produce, while the friendly staff adds a personal touch to your experience. You can easily explore nearby restaurants by walking to the city center.

Occasional malfunctions of amenities.

The place has a big pool a very good restaurant and the staff ( family run ) will do all they can to help you. The room we had was very spacious number 107. Cant wait to go back again.

It was just perfect with our 10 year old boy and its also nice to go just as a couple.

The hotel is located in the middle of agricultural land which gives off a relaxed vibe. It's perfect for exploring nearby towns. The rooms are modern and well-kept and the air conditioning works excellently, making our stay comfortable even during hot weather. The fact that there were many sun loungers by the large swimming pool was an advantage.

The menu at the restaurant is not grand and the food looks previously cooked; its quality was average. The location is slightly difficult to reach. The bathroom needed some maintenance, with some of the tiles coming off and the faucet not holding properly. The AC was positioned near the bed, which was uncomfortable because it blew directly in the face during sleep.

Hotel and rooms are very clean and nice, dinner in the evening is excellent. Very quit environement. Person who served dinner is a fantastic person, very good service and very good product, compliment to the kitchen. Also breakfast is excellent. All you need is there.

Welcom was cool. Some personal do nothing and are all days running with mobilphone on there ear and hand very disturbing for the guests.

The charming setting, spacious rooms with a view of the courtyard and olive trees, friendly staff, birthday prosecco gift, lovely and quiet atmosphere, enjoyable pool for kids.

Nothing to mention.

The modern style of this old country house

New - Clean - Beautiful Pool - Relaxing scenery - Good Breakfast - Friendly staff

. On the first night: birthday party by the pool - unable to sleep before 1am because of the music (ironic since the hotel is part of the "Hotels - Relais du Silence"). As per staff, the income for such events is needed and hard to refuse. . Isolated therefore dependent for food/restaurants on either car or the hotel restaurant (good food but often closed / unable to serve food) . Hotel staff at reception speaking only Italian with limited English making communication difficult.

Great location to explore nearby attractions. Good breakfast selection with fresh fruit and variety of breakfast items. Spacious and clean rooms with air-con for warm nights.

Limited options for dinner. We were disappointed that there weren't more dinner options on-site.
