Beautiful villa property on a hillside overlooking the bay with the Italian mainland in the distance. Room was large and very comfortable and we had a view of the ocean (altho not all rooms face the water). There is a swimming pool and tennis court. Great breakfast and wonderful staff, definitely recommended!

This hotel is awesome! We were just staying in Messina for the night on the way to Palermo, so we weren’t expecting much given that Messina is a smaller town, but this hotel is beautiful. The hotel itself is a palace style building with beautiful gardens in its grounds. The rooms are modern and renovated, and the staff are very friendly and professional. Breakfast was included and very good. The price is low for this kind of hotel. If you are staying in Messina or in the area, it would be a mistake not to stay here!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the villa. The grounds are beautiful & the hotel beautiful.
Christina & Byron were amazing. So helpful and professional. It is quiet and away from city but close enough to get there by taxi or car.
I would definitely recommend to friends & family.

It was a beautiful property, completely private. Wasnt sure from online but it looked like it was walkable to sea but you just can see the water. You also can not walk to other parts of town as its a gated properyy up on a hill. But the grounds are beautiful trees and flowers and bushes.

excellent recommendation for ragusa
we enjoyed very much staying at this place and we thank Elisa so much for her wonderful hospitality. the apartment in the palazzo is very convenient and right in the middle of the city. the ceiling in the bedroom is spectacular and if you are lucky you will find a free parking space in front / close to the palazzo. Elisa is a wonderful host taking care of anything one needs. excellent recommendation for ragusa !

Staying at Villa Pulejo is a unique experience in like staying in a historical masterpiece. The facilities were modernized but you can still visualize the grandeur this mansion was built for. Walking around the grounds we found treasures like the centuries old magnolia trees, meticulously kept garden and the original horse stable. Staff went above and beyond without smothering you. Fruits came from groves on property. We will cherish memories made during our 9 days stay.

The mansion is in very good shape, well renovated. The garden landscape beautiful.
Staff needs better training.
Breakfast is served to each one at the table. It takes too long and the options are limited. I would prefer a buffet breakfast.
