“We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience. The facilities are excellent and very well maintained, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the incredible hospitality of the staff. Everyone we met was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. The location is absolutely stunning, offering beautiful surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere. In addition, the restaurant exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding, with a great selection of dishes prepared to a very high standard. The only area for improvement would be the serving temperature of the red wine. It appeared to be stored too warm, which affected the drinking experience. Serving it at the proper temperature would make the dining experience even better. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel with excellent facilities, wonderful people, a beautiful setting, and superb cuisine. We would be delighted to return.”
“Some places simply stay with you, and Masseria del Carboj is one of them. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed with a glass of local wine, we felt genuinely cared for. What made our stay truly special was the staff - incredibly warm, thoughtful, discreet, and attentive in a way that never felt forced. They created an atmosphere where we felt completely at home from the very first moment. Surrounded by beautiful nature, vineyards, and some of the most stunning beaches in the area, this was the perfect place to slow down and enjoy Sicily at its best. We planned to try other restaurants nearby on our second evening, but after dining here on the first night, we simply couldn’t bring ourselves to leave. The food was exceptional, the wine selection outstanding, and every dinner became an experience in itself. Masseria del Carboj is more than a beautiful hotel - it is a place with soul. Our stay felt truly magical, and we are deeply grateful for this experience. We will definitely be back.”
“We had a wonderful holiday here. The hotel has been created from an ancient masseria, where landscape, the vineyards of Menfi, and Sicilian hospitality come together beautifully. It felt like being at home. Marco, the owner, is attentive and kind: the perfect host. Well done to all the staff and to the chef, who delighted us with traditional Sicilian dishes. This is a place of happy memories, an oasis of peace to which we will certainly return. Thank you!”
“Masseria del Carboj is a hidden gem in Sicily and one of the most special places we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, Marco made us feel completely at home. His hospitality, and genuine care for his guests created an atmosphere that is difficult to find, even in the world's finest hotels. The property itself feels like a little paradise. Surrounded by stunning nature and breathtaking views, it offers a level of tranquility and beauty that exceeds that of many five-star resorts. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The restaurant Racine at the hotel is amazing! The staff were exceptional throughout our stay—always friendly, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed. Their kindness and professionalism made the experience even more memorable. If you are looking for authenticity, outstanding hospitality, and an unforgettable Sicilian experience, this is the place to be.”
“An incredible stay, I only wish we could have stayed longer. Marco and his staff are incredibly welcoming and hospitable. The restaurant is delicious, we had a very special dinner and tremendous breakfast (perhaps the best omelette I have ever had). The room was charmingly rustic but featured every amenity. Stunning location, beautiful grounds. So thankful we got time here.”
“I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and it was, without a doubt, a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and right at home. The property itself is magnificent, with stunning grounds and a beautifully landscaped garden that provides the perfect atmosphere to simply relax and let your soul unwind. It is a rare place where you can truly switch off from the world. While the facilities are top-tier, the absolute highlight of my stay was the service. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, possessing the rare gift of being always available to fulfill any wish, yet remaining wonderfully unobtrusive. You feel completely taken care of without ever feeling crowded. I also have to mention the dining. Everything was exceptional. The breakfast was an absolute dream, and the restaurant serves outstanding cuisine that was a highlight of every single day. I am already looking forward to my next visit, and I will definitely make sure to plan for more time to fully enjoy this beautiful place. Thank you very much!”
