Calm, quiet. Beautiful golf course. The links course course is very open, flat greens and beautiful setting: between sea and land as a links should be.

Beautiful golf resort in southern Sicily. Two great courses, a spa and a variety of dining options.

What was supposed to be a dream turned into a nightmare: that's all we can say about our time at Donnafugata. We booked for 6 night, asked to leave after 3 and finally got a (poor) agreement to leave by the 4th night.
Flies: everywhere, voracious, thousands of flies. You can't stay by the pool, can't walk, can't eat outside. There are so many and so aggressive it's literally impossible to remain outdoor, we had to spend few hours a day into our bedroom or in the spa or the gym. The only alternative you have is the resort beach, which is 20mins (10 by car + 10 walking with bees): it is beautiful but in the middle of nowhere, so don't expect restaurants, bars, boat rentals
When we asked to leave, we were offered as a solution a repellant spray! We then had to ask of the Resort MD and finally recovered 1 night out of the 6 booked and 4 slept there: in a 5*L resort that's not just cheap, it's insulting. The MD confirmed this is a recurring issue they couldn't fix (due to local farming, wind direction etc): after our stay, talking to few friends/golfers they laughed as this is apparently a well known issue within the community..
The resort itself is beautiful, staff extremely polite and caring, food okish (for a foodie italian) just avoid summer: Apulia and Sardinia offer an equivalent level of food, sun, sea (and possibly golfing) which you can actually enjoy rather than having to lock yourself into a bedroom to survive!
ps for those keen on bfast: too many ppl, too crowded, not enough staff. We ended up waiting 30mins for a cappuccino and fighting for a croissantresponse / report this review -

I only stayed here for 9 hours on a businesstrip, arriving at 2300 hours and leaving at 0800. I basically only visited the lobby, the bar, my room and I had breakfast. Very comfortable, clean and bright room. Bathroom with loads of amenities. Breakfast is not up to par with the rest of the resort. Wasps on the sweets, only one coffeemachine, not enough choice. Would have given it five stars otherwise.

Extremely well designed resort, building on the original villa / farm buildings and architecture. It is specious inside and out and well maintained and the links are fabulous. The on site restaurants and bars are good if not a little pricey and there is plenty to explore within a short drive from here.

The whole facility - buildings, grounds, golf, staff, etc. - is lovely, and worth the 5 stars they claim. But the hotel kitchen (except for breakfast, which is superb) - food, service - is a catastrophe at any price, way overpriced, and deserves 1 star at best, meaning "available, but bad, and to be avoided if possible". You have to take a taxi to get a good meal in the area, which means that good food is expensive. I didn't expect gourmet cooking, but good food should be a cinch for Italy. I'd love to go back, because the rest is so good, but the food will keep me away.
