Villa Trigona

The staff is praised for kindness and professionalism, offering excellent dining and a clean pool. Guests appreciate comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and varied breakfast. The location provides easy access to historic sites.

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.

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
