We stayed for two weeks in this charming old house, set in the most idyllic setting, surrounded by hills, rich in different hues of yellows and browns (this was in August - the height of Mediterranean summer), accompanied by the wonderful sound of nature, including the sound of sheep and goat bells as they wondered through the surrounding hills and fields. The rooms are very well maintained and super clean, with crisp white bedsheets and thick white, clean towels. This hotel is run by a wonderful and charming family who were the kindest and most helpful! Food was exceptionally prepared, offering you a taste of Sicilian cuisine! Service was wonderful and helpful. Evening dinners on the beautiful patio outside the entrance to the house, made everything even more special. It would be easier to come with your own transport as the climb up the hill to Via Nazzionale that then takes you to Gangi town is not for the faint hearted. However, our hosts were very kind to offer us rides on their way into town. The walk is in any case, well worth it, leaving you with a sense of "we did it!!" We would definitely recommend a stay at Villa Rainó.

We liked everything!

Fabulous, peaceful location in a valley behind Gangi - you get a back view of the town from the hotel perched on its hilltop. Rooms and bathrooms are fairly small and basic but clean and comfortable and pretty much what we expected. Very welcoming family staff. Lovely, huge swimming pool, down a pathway from the hotel, with lovely views - much larger & nicer than we expected. Food is very plentiful and tasty and courses seem to keep on coming so take care not to eat too much bread early on or you will have no space left for what's coming later! Dinner is not included in the room price so you can of course eat in Gangi or elsehwhere, but it seemed that all the guests in the hotel chose to eat there when we stayed. All in all a charming, different, very atmospheric and genuinley 'local' place to stay to get a flovour of the 'real' Sicily.

Nothing really.

Old world quaintness, yesteryear grandness, gorgeous location, lovely terrace for early evening drinks with fantastic views from this rural and beautiful part of Sicily. Exceptional meals served, particularly the fixed menu dinner. Highly recommended.

Nothing. Be careful not to follow google maps to find it. Approach from Acquanuova.

Stayed here for one with my husband. One of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. What a beautiful location. A major plus that the property has cats everywhere😻 nice pool with a beautiful view. Restaurant has authentic Sicilian food, everything was delicious. 10/10

Kind hospitality. AMAZING food and location. We stayed here whilst visiting family in Gangi. We had the most amazing family meal sat outside. The pool area is so peaceful and quiet. It's off the beaten track, very rustic and stunningly beautiful. Breakfast was amazing too. Aldo, Nina and their family can't do enough for you. It was our third visit here.

Good facilities, nice swimming pool and terrace both with a view over the hills. Very quite and relaxing location. Amazing service, personnel always available and kind (they rearranged our to be able to fit a cot. Very much appreciated 😀)

No elevator available. Noisy ventilation

the location was easy to drive to as it was just off the main road. very beautiful location with a gorgeous property to explore and sit and have a beer, snacks and watch the sunset. dinner was incredible as was breakfast. Aldo and the rest of the staff were so kind and made us feel like family!

Absolutely worth it, especially for the views. You're in the middle of Sicilian countryside, surrounded by green hills and sheep, with a breath-taking view from the window. The property itself is also beautiful. The staff was amazing, we were the only guests so the breakfast was prepared specially for us, and it offered a wide range of local bread/pastries, fresh juice and jams, as well as savoury things. The room was sizeable, clean and pretty. It was lovely, and a memorable stay.

Nothing negative to say.

The hosts have renovated a traditional country estate house, which is a wonderful way of preserving regional history and culture. It's a short drive into Gangi, and the property has a direct view of one side of the town and is set in its surrounding fields. Their restaurant wasn't open, but Nina provided us delicious dinners as well as typical Sicilian breakfast, and Aldo went out of his way to make us feel like visiting family. I won't ever forget them.

leaving.

The breakfast ( and evening meal) were delicious. Aldo and his family were lovely and very helpful. We really appreciated Carmello and Peira driving us into Gangi and picking up up, as it was too far to walk.
