Doric Boutique Hotel

Gorgeous resort in a spectacular spot out in the middle of nowhere, with a view of the Temple of Athena. Excellent restaurant in the resort with great service and wine. We upgraded to a larger room which was excellent, quiet, and with a view. Convenient parking. It's a short drive to the Valley of the Temples.

The room we booked turned out to be extremely small, and the resort offered to upgrade us for 250 Euros per night, which we did. There was a bizarre sign in the bathroom advising you to "not put toilet paper in the toilet" but in the trash can! We did not comply with this request! Other than that, we loved it.

The location of this hotel is fantastic, with a stunning view of the valley, ocean and the Temple of Juno. The design esthetic is beautiful, we had a room with our own dipping pool and a view. It was lovely. The common area - pool - and grounds are beautifully done. It is a place you will enjoy spending time at, after a long hot day visiting the Valley of Temples which is only a five minute drive away. The food from breakfast, lunch and dinner was all exceptional. We would recommend doing one of the taster menus with wine. And the spa, which you can book privately, was fantastic and highly worth it.

Only some small things. This was the only hotel on our ten day Sicily trip where breakfast was not included. We paid for it one day, and they have an exceptional offering. The hotel was not inexpensive and we booked a superior room. I think the breakfast should have been included. We did run into one staff member at dinner who was not at his best. To be fair, the owner and front desk manager immediately made it right and we were very, very impressed by their response. They were first class and professional when some may not have been. This made all the difference to us as this was our last stay in Sicily and we really wanted to end well, which we did.

Lovely hotel looking out towards the Temple of Juno. We loved the pool and the excellent breakfast. We also had a fabulous meal in the restaurant. It truly felt like 5* luxury.

My stay at this resort was simply magical. From the moment I arrived, I was swept away by the charm and elegance of the surroundings. The garden's fragrant blooms and the panoramic views created an enchanting atmosphere that captivated me instantly. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breakfast experience. The spread was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, setting the tone for a day filled with culinary delights. As for the dinner, it was a refined affair, with each dish expertly crafted to perfection. And let's not forget the rooms! The comfort they provided, coupled with the unparalleled vista, made every moment spent indoors just as memorable as those spent exploring outside. Overall, this resort is a haven of tranquility and luxury that exceeded all my expectations. It's a place I can't wait to return to, where every moment feels like pure bliss.

It's a shame I didn't stay longer at the resort.

Stepping into the garden of this resort was a sensory delight, as fragrances danced through the air, leading to a breakfast spread that was simply divine. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of blooming flowers, setting the tone for a day of indulgence. As evening fell, the sophistication of the dinner experience surpassed all expectations, with each dish a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. But it was the view from the dining area that truly stole the show, offering a backdrop of unparalleled beauty. And when it was time to retire, the comfort of the rooms embraced me like a warm hug, while the panoramic vista outside the window took my breath away. This resort isn't just a destination; it's a sensory paradise that promises an unforgettable experience at every turn.

While my stay at the resort was nothing short of spectacular, one regret I have is not extending my visit. It's truly a pity that I didn't allocate more time to fully immerse myself in the panoramic views the resort offers. My failure to properly plan my schedule meant missing out on moments of tranquil contemplation and relaxation amidst such breathtaking scenery. This experience has taught me the importance of allowing oneself ample time for personal rejuvenation and exploration, a lesson I'll certainly carry with me for future travels.
