Exceptional place. We stayed a short time due to our travel plans but we enjoyed every single minute. From the very private Sicilian dinner that was delicious, an amazing relax by a pool with a beautiful view to Noto and walk in-between olive and almond trees... Everything was just perfect.
The place is very close to Noto but still very quiet. The room was stylish with an entrance to the terrace. Breakfast is very generous with their own products. It's possible to order snacks and drinks at the pool or have an amazing dinner by a pool with a view to Noto. Everybody was friendly in the hotel and we felt it's important for them we are relaxed and enjoying time. It was a great Sicilian experience and we hope to come back next year.

The perfect start of our vacation, stayed for 4 nights, the moment we checked in we already felled relaxed and on vacation, the views and vibe are excellent. Italo is a great host and makes your stay even better!

Practical: great breakfast and had a very nice interaction with the host for tips what to see and where to eat. Rooms are very pleasant and comfortable, large bedroom and bathroom.

Would recommend it very highly!

My partner and I stayed for 3 days and nights at Tenuta Olive Alive, and had an absolutely wonderful time. It was a true highlight of our entire time visiting Sicily. Italo, the owner, was incredibly warm and welcoming. He is the first to greet you when you drive in, and does so as though you were already family. He talked story with us about where we had already traveled, where we'd be headed next, and provided us with plenty of recommendations (eating, visiting, history, and scenery alike) for both Noto and our future destinations.

Breakfast is included each morning in the courtyard - always an array of fruits, yogurts, cereals, meats, breads, cakes, jams, coffee, and tea. To eat dinner on the property, you let them know at breakfast that you'd like to dine there. On the one right we requested to have dinner, we learned that Italo himself prepares dinner for whatever guests will be staying. That morning, he showed us the photo of the fish he'd be preparing, and gave us an option between risotto and pasta. That night, we had true gift (and luck) of being the only couple who opted to stay that evening and experienced a one-of-a-kind home cooked meal (and conversation) with Italo under cafe lights by the pool. It was the one of the best meals we had in Sicily. He said to us, "To cook for someone is to give them your time, and to give someone your time is to give them your love."

Can you tell we were charmed?

Italo is a fantastic host who you can tell loves connecting with and taking care of people from all around the world. In fact, all the staff we interacted with - despite a language barrier - were unconditionally warm and accommodating. We hope to return some day and become friends over time, as we felt completely at home on his property, which is quiet, peaceful, and full of flush fig, almond, and olive trees.

We did not unfortunately have time on this trip to take advantage of the spa amenities, though we would have liked to. Next time.

While the hotel grounds, amenities, and staff were well worthy of 5 stars, Italo himself made a significant impression that made us want to return. Thank you for your warm welcome and kind hosting of us both.

Wonderful place on the top of a hill overlooking Noto, which is not far away by car. My children (teenagers) were staying in the cottage and had the most amazing views from there. My husband and I stayed in a beautifully furnished room with a great bathroom in the main building. Everything you needed was available and more. Stunning swimming pool with view on wonderful Noto and hills. Very quiet and charming place with beautiful surroundings, overall experience was amazing. Very friendly and enthousiastic host Italo who gave us interesting information about the area. Place to come back to!

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.
