Antico Borgo Buonanotte
Stone walls, mountain air and a pool above the Sicilian hills
A resort in San Mauro Castelverde
Antico Borgo Buonanotte sits in San Mauro Castelverde, a hill town in Sicily's Madonie mountains. The name means old village, and the property leans into that: garden and courtyard spaces, views that run from the mountains out to the sea, and a slower pace than the coast. Rooms range from a double to a two-bedroom apartment and a family junior suite, so couples and groups both work here. An outdoor pool, free parking and free wifi cover the practical side. Rates start from €243.
Who this stay suits
A small, quiet rural property with a pool, self-catering touches and wide views, run by staff guests rate highly.
Best for
- families wanting space
- travellers with a car
- slow rural stays
- self-catering guests
Less suited to
- anyone without transport
- travellers wanting a town-centre location
Pool with a view
The outdoor swimming pool is the centre of the property in warm months. Around it sit a patio, garden and outdoor dining area with furniture, so days tend to happen outside. Views from the grounds take in the mountains, the garden and, in places, the sea.
Rooms for couples and families
Three room types keep things simple. The Large Double Room sleeps two, the Family Junior Suite adds beds for children, and the Two-Bedroom Apartment gives groups separate rooms. Air conditioning, private bathrooms and a coffee machine come standard.
Old village character
The borgo setting gives the property its shape: an inner courtyard, garden views and a landmark outlook that fits the historic village. Barbecue facilities and an outdoor dining area let guests cook and eat outside rather than relying on restaurants.

Arriving in San Mauro Castelverde
Antico Borgo Buonanotte is 94.0 km from Catania Airport (CTA). The nearest intercity station is Cefalù, about 17.6 km away. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
All 47 reviews give the property 5/5. The themes behind that score are consistent: staff come in for the strongest praise, with value for money and the standard of the facilities close behind. Guests booking here tend to feel they got more than they paid for, and the way the place is run leaves the clearest impression.
