“charming,peaceful located hotel”

excellent value for money hotel.peaceful,comfortable and away from main tourist area but still within 10/15 minutes car/bus journey.

“Explore Sicily!!!”

The pool is very nice as is the whole out doors. Our room was small but had all necessities. My only complaint would be the size of the shower in the room. I'm over 2 meters tall and found it almost impossible to shower or wash my hair. Genetics! All in all a recommendable place to stay.

“"A delightful guest house with a warm welcome"”

Sabina and her husband made us feel so very welcome and went to a great deal of trouble to make our holiday experience special. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and on the day they decorated our room with a flower arrangement and flower petals on the bed. They gave us good advice on where to visit each day. We especially liked the setting of Casale Romano Resort Guest House surrounded by the fruit trees with the colours of the fuit and the perfume of the flowers. It was lovely and peaceful to sit in those surroundings.

“"Warmest welcome ever"”

We received the warmest welcome possible and would thoroughly recommend the resort to travellers looking for an individual hotel and a unique experience, nothing was too much trouble for the owners and their staff. The building itself has been tastefully restored with a perfect balance of traditional and contemporary design . Rooms are pleasing to the eye and have been individually furnished to reflect the style of the property. We had a lovely five days exploring the area and its restaurants despite the valley receiving the worst storms ever ! (Totally out of character for early November)

“Pleasant and friendly 'agriturismo'”

We stayed for two weeks in an apartment in this 'agriturismo' guesthouse in Oct 2010. The owner speaks good English and could not have been more friendly and helpful, offering her guests fresh oranges, lemons and walnuts from the garden, and regularly checking that we had all we needed. It did rain quite a bit while we were there so we didn't use the swimming pool, which looked nice. Breakfast is available in the guesthouse if required (5 euros) and Sabine cooks evening meals for guests occasionally in season (we chose to be self-catering as we were touring a lot). Our ground-floor apartment comprised 3 rooms - a living/dining/kitchen, a bedroom with comfortable kingsize bed (European-style two single mattresses on double base) and a spacious bathroom with washbasin, bidet, WC, shower cubicle and plentiful hot water. The living/dining room had a dining table with four chairs, small TV with satellite (a few English-speaking channels), a double bunk-bed unit with wardrobe, and an elderly sofa-bed. The kitchen area had sink, cupboards, a four-burner gas hob & oven (no grill), tall fridge-freezer and basic utensils. There was no washing machine but Sabine offered laundry services if needed. There was an outside terrace area with table and chairs and lovely views. The apartment was pleasantly located about 20 minutes from Giardini-Naxos and an hour from Catania airport. It was a good touring base and very good value. A much better choice than staying in a hotel in Taormina.

“A Real Treat”

This hotel is a real treat if you are looking for a peaceful break to recharge your batteries. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by the owners. Their gererousity, kindness and hospitality was first rate, nothing was too much trouble for them. We had the 'Superior' class of room which was spacious and comfortable. There is not an evening meal offered every night, but when it is the standard of food is excellent, as is the local wine. The only downside is the closeness of the road (which can't be seen), but this is more than compensated by the views from around the swimming pool.

“Lovely place, ideal location for exploring Sicily”

Casale Romano is a lovely place in the perfect location if you want to explore Sicily by car. Excellent service, clean and spacious rooms and good food. Very good value for money as well. The host Sabine and her husband speak English and German and can give you good advice on exploring the island. Occasionally they offer a meal in the evening, which is handy as you will have to drive to get to a restaurant. Breakfast and these dinners were good; all home-made or local produce, plenty of variety and choice. I can really recommend this place.

“Casale Romano - a home from home”

Our 8 days at Casale Romano recently were wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable. Sabina's very welcoming guest house was a perfect location for us as we intended to see the north-eastern part of Sicily using our hire car, which is essential for exploring the mountain villages and Etna. Every day, Sabina made sure that we had everything we needed and gave plenty of helpful suggestions about our daily trips. Having dinner at CR was a central feature of our holiday - it was always simple but delicious home cooked food, so we ate 'at home' six times in all! Our room was perfectly adequate - spacious and airy, with a useful balcony. We enjoyed being able to use the pool area very much as a relaxation after a day out. Although the guest house is on a main road the traffic does not intrude. Sicilian people are lovely and very friendly, the scenery is stunning and the architecture beautiful. Highly recommended.

“Great place off the beaten track”

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Casala Romano for a week and despite initially thinking that perhaps it was too far away from the coast and the more bustling tourist area of Toarmina, we were really glad we did. It was about a 30 min drive to the coast and the main towns, but after spending a day with other tourists we were quite glad to leave it behind and head to the countryside. As all the other reviews have mentioned Sabina and her husband really make you feel at home and always at hand to offer advice about the best beaches to go to or the best routes. We stayed in a superior room on a b&b basis which although not overly fancy and slightly dark was completely fine for what we needed . The only downside was the removal of the fridge, which although there is free bottled water from the kitchen, a fridge in the room would have been nice especially when it was so hot. We really enjoyed the regular home cooked dinners that Sabina offered. I would recommend staying for dinner at least one night of your stay as not only is it very reasonably priced, the quality (and quantity) of food was amazing and in fact we ate there twice. We had a lovely time in Sicily and would recommend Casala Romano if you are looking to get slightly off that beaten track.
