Editorial
Hotel overview
Nestled in the scenic Sicilian countryside near Marzamemi, this 5-star hotel offers an inviting blend of rustic charm and modern comforts. Guests enjoy stylish, tastefully decorated rooms with balconies opening to serene views. The hotel’s standout feature is its immaculate swimming pool, complemented by tranquil surroundings filled with greenery. Service is consistently praised for its warmth and attention to detail, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels personal rather than formal.
Though the hotel lacks a fitness center and pets are not permitted, its restaurant serves delicious regional specialties at breakfast, adding to the local experience. The peaceful setting makes it ideal for travelers wanting both relaxation and easy access to nature, beaches, and cultural landmarks nearby.
Nearby natural attractions such as the Riserva naturale orientata Oasi Faunistica di Vendicari and Calamosche Beach offer excellent opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and wildlife observation. The proximity to airports like Comiso and Vincenzo Bellini Catania ensures relatively smooth arrival and departure options despite the hotel’s country feel.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I had an amazing stay at Carrua Hotel & Lodge. The place itself is beautiful and very comfortable, but what really made the experience special was the service. The hospitality was outstanding — Antonio and his mom went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their warmth and kindness truly made me feel at home. I highly recommend Carrua to anyone looking for a memorable and welcoming stay in Sicily”
“My mom and I have spent a fantastic week at Carrua. Being in the low season, we were not able to enjoy all the commodities such as the pool (we were informed beforehand so this was not a surprise) however our stay could not have been better! The place is calm and relaxing. The room is decorated with taste and the view from the terrace is very beautiful. Antonio was really attentive, always there to help and making sure that we did not miss anything. He also provided good recommendations on cities and restaurants to visit in the surroundings. Every breakfast taken on the terrace was gargantuan. In addition to cereals, cheese, fresh fruits,.. we could order the different specialties from the region such as cannoli, filled croissant or bomboloni. Delightful! I cannot imagine how wonderful it must be in the high season. I highly recommend Carrua and I will certainly come back some day :)”
“Everything was perfect! We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and will definately be coming back in the near future!”
“I can’t say enough about Antonio, with regard to being the most hospitable owner of this residence. This residence is super clean, super accommodating, extraordinarily kind, helpful, genuine. The breakfasts have been bountiful, tasty, the views from the pool are spectacular. Anyone traveling to this part of Sicily must stay here! Truly, one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in my life! Will certainly come back!”
“Fantastic stay at this hotel. The owner Antonio, and family were so helpful with local recommendations. Everything was spotless.”
“Beautiful location with a great host! Carrua is a fantastic spot to spend some relaxing days in the very south of Sicily. Marzamemi (with lots of restaurants) and beautiful beaches are very close. The hotel itself is very clean, has a superb pool and offers great views over the landscape and the sea. Antonio is extremely helpful and fulfills every wish.”
