Villa Trigona

This villa is very elegant and has been in the family for years. As soon as your get to the villa you are made welcome. The Villa has been updated to a high standard but keeping the charm and most of the original furnishings. Our room was a suite very spacious with lots of balconies and a special patio area. The room was clean and the bathroom was so clean with plenty of towels and a very good shower. The bed was so comfortable. There are plenty of public places to sit and enjoy. The exterior of the property was lovely well maintained with lots of shady areas. A lovely patio where in the summer months you enjoy a lovely breakfast and the homecooked evening meals. The pool was the best with lots of loungers in the shade or out. There are also lots of other activities, Table Tennis and bikes for the guests. This villa is in the centre of Sicily so was a good base to see some of Sicily sites. We went to The Valley of the Temples and Mount Etna. approx 1.5 hours away. We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Trigona.

Villa Trigona has the sense of a 19th century country lodge. We drove in, noting several paths into the woods. Outside the entrance are tables and chairs pleasantly arranged for use during breakfast and throughout the day. The hallways are decorated with pictures from ladies' fashion magazines, as well as for outdoor activities of the old days. The gentleman at reception showed us our room, which was on the ground floor (no stairs, yay!) and had a private terrace with a black wrought iron table and chairs. Breakfast was an extravagance of meats, cheeses, fruit, and, especially, pastries. As we spent long days at Villa Romana del Cazale and Morgantina, we appreciated, on our returns, having proseccos outside in the chilly sunshine. We ate dinner on site all three nights. The food was not quite equal to restaurant standards, but the convenience made up for it. All in all, our stay was quite economical. Also, we tried to drive into Pizza Armerina one night for dinner and there was such a mess (a rally?) that we returned to Villa Trigona. Everyone was helpful, but I want to particularly thank the young man who worked mostly in the kitchen and bar. He spoke excellent English and answered all our questions about the area.

Villa Trigona is an Agroturismo property near Piazza Armerina. Its not a luxury property but is very charming. Vast swimming pool. Room was very basic but clean. The main building looks nice, with a court in front with seats, and a terrace. The interior has some old style. All around you can walk in the countryside with trees, plants. And the reception team was really friendly.

We stayed in the Villa Tragona when visiting Villa Romana, the World Heritage site. Having been in the same family for hundreds of years, this hotel is located in the beautiful Italian countryside. We booked for a suite which, unknown to us when we booked, was located in the old house. You climb ancient curved stairs, through a sitting room, through a library to our room on the second floor. We were unclear what the suite was as we used neither of the outer rooms because only our room had the air conditioning on. The bed was fine though in a very tight alcove and the bathroom redone - but my husband woke up to ants all over his pills in the am. Our friends stayed in a brand new room - that would have been our preference when we discovered the choice. The ground are lovely to walk. The 6 course dinner, including wine and bottled water was one of the best meals we had on the trip. Definitely stay here if you are going to Villa Romana, enjoy walking through the old house, but stay in a room in the new addition

We spent two nights at this place in midst of a large green terrain. Mimo and the rest of the team at this hotel were very helpful. The food in the evening was something special, different starters, followed by pasta at its best and an additional dish with meat or else. Accompanied by red/white wine, what ever you liked, and all this encl. in the price for the menue. Just great. The pool - we did not use it - is very nice situated and you can relaxe after your visit to the famous Villa Romana and enjoy the quietness and lovely plants / flowers around. And not to forget, the breakfast with all these different cakes, cookies etc. was something special.

Sure you can get a great hotel room for $500 + a night. To get a very workable room- plus a 5 star breakfast and dinner for around $160 for 2- ah- that's much harder. Let's start at the beginning- Piazza Amerina is in the middle of nowhere - on two other trips we didn't have time. HUGE MISTAKE. The complexity and quantity of the ceramic floors at Villa Romana- are like no others. Breathtaking !! Villa Tragone- a grand Villa ( but with all due respect i recommend the newer builds a few feet away .) Nothing fancy- everything you need. A great large pool in total quiet. Perfect for laps. Now the food. Breakfast could compare with any giant 5 star. How they prepare so much for such a small property- is a mystery. An even greater mystery is the dinner- at least 6 courses of so well prepared food- plus a bottle of wine and mineral water............ I'm not one of those Trip Advisor one review wonders that rave about their uncles property- my advice- go to Piazza Armerina- stay at the Villa Trigara
