Agriturismo Le Chiuse, near Carlentini, east side of Sicily. From David and Bettina, Bonn.
Mid October 2025 we stayed at Le Chiuse for a week, planning on visiting the many attractions on the Sicilian east coast such as Taormina, Catania, Siracusa, Noto etc. Our stay was so pleasant that we would like to recommend strongly this agriturismo.
First of all the place was well situated to reach the above destinations and was itself attractive and welcoming. We arrived fairly late from Catania airport but that was no problem for the team. We took possession of our spotless room and woke to a great view of Sicilian countryside, the garden and pool, and a hint of Etna in the distance (visible most days, depending on the weather). The planning and architecture show the influence of Giorgio, the owner, who made sure everything looked good and worked. It was late in the year and we like early swimming so we had the pool to
ourselves. Breakfast was good and ample, catering to northern and southern tastes. There you have the chance to order dinner if you would like that. The days menu is displayed, Giorgio, so Chef, is a wonderful cook and every evening meal was a pleasure. The delightful dining-room also has a bar, so aperitivi or coffees: no problem. Everyone who works there is friendly and informative, one evening Giorgio's two young sons treated us all to an after-dinner concert of singing and drum set!
Incidentally we also recommend the car-hire firm Spataro, avoiding waiting at the airport and with useful extras: they will collect you at the airport, take you to Le Chiuse, give you a hire-car there and take you back to the airport for your return flight. Very reasonable prices, all planned by e-mail before the holiday. spataronoleggi@tiscali.it
Agriturismo Le Chiuse, near Carlentini, in eastern Sicily. By David and Bettina, Bonn.
In mid-October 2025 we spent a week in Le Chiuse to visit the many sights on the Sicilian east coast such as Taormina, Catania, Syracuse, Noto etc. Our stay was so pleasant that we would highly recommend this agriturismo.
First of all, the location was ideal to achieve the above goals, and the place itself was attractive and welcoming. We arrived quite late from Catania airport, but that was no problem for the team. We moved into our spotless room and woke up to a great view of the Sicilian countryside, garden and pool, as well as a touch of Mount Etna in the distance (visible most days depending on the weather). The planning and architecture show
the influence of Giorgio, the owner, who made everything look and work well. It was late in the year and we like to swim early so we had the pool to ourselves. Breakfast was good and plentiful and offered something for guests of the North and South. There you have the possibility to order dinner if you want. The daily menu is posted, Giorgio is also a wonderful cook and every dinner was a treat. The beautiful dining room also has a bar, so aperitifs or coffee are no problem. All staff are friendly and helpful. One evening Giorgios two young sons entertained us after dinner with a concert of singing and drums!
By the way, we also recommend the car rental company Spataro, which saves you waiting at the airport and offers useful extras: She will pick you up at the airport, take you to Le Chiuse, hand over a rental car and take you back to the airport for your return flight. Very reasonable prices, everything is planned before the holiday by email. spataronoleggi@tiscali.it
