We decided to celebrate our wedding here on 9 September 2023. From the first meeting we were followed and pampered by the talented Cristina and all the staff, who took care of everything down to the smallest detail to make us fully enjoy this unforgettable day for us. The guests were enchanted by the wonderful location, the perfect setting for the delicious food of the aperitif buffet, but also of the main courses, which received praise from all our guests both for the goodness and generosity of the main courses. A practically perfect evening thanks to their professionalism, competence and kindness. Thanks for everything to Cristina and her wonderful staff! Michele and Desiree

My husband and I chose to celebrate our wedding in this location on June 22, 2024. From the beginning we were constantly followed by Cristina, the manager of the place. A wonderful woman who with her professionalism and kindness was able to make us feel totally at home as well as making the best day of our lives a real fairy tale. Every little detail, everything about that day was handled impeccably. Cristina along with her staff were superb throughout the wedding. Delicious food, impeccable service, lovely location... Everything was appreciated by all the guests from whom we received countless compliments for EVERYTHING. My husband and I, as totally satisfied, want to recommend the Hotel Ristorante l'Antica Ruota, and the people who are part of it, to all future spouses. We are immensely grateful for everything. Thank you. also to Flavia who with great mastery has granted our every request. If I could I would give more than 5 stars because you left us really speechless. Thank you very much to all of you.

L'Antica is way out of town. A long 6 miles because of the winding dirt roads. They do not have a shuttle to take you anywhere. The air conditioning did not work. Yet they said it did! We had reservations for 2 night which we paid for even though we checked out as quick as we could after the first night. There is a gun club near the hotel. They started shooting at 7am. The one complement I will give the hotel is that the rooms are clean. The rooms are small and the shower is a disaster. The doors on the shower were so cheap you had to struggle to close them. We move to a hotel in Capo D Orlando with a view of the Mediterranean Sea. (actually a walk out terrace facing the Sea.) The hotel in the city cost us less than the Antica! The hotel was much nicer with good air conditioning. Capo D Orlando is a beautiful town however you will not know it's beauty if you stay at the L'Antica. How this hotel is getting a 4 star and more is beyond my wildest dreams. We were just there Sept. 6 and 7th.( Left as quick as we could morning of the 7th: luckily we found a nicer and less expensive hotel.) L' Antica DOES NOT HAVE WIFI

Response from Antica_Ruota, Responsabile relazioni con la clientela at L'Antica Ruota
Responded 14 Sept 2014
Dear Ms Thank you for choosing our hotel, even if for one night. Paradoxically, his judgment, to which we show utmost respect, does not reflect the reality described negative. Since we're American, you should be aware of, the better for us Europeans, that one mile equals 1,608 meters which would correspond to 9,648 meters or nearly 10 Km. Actually the Old Wheel is the center of Capo d'Orlando 6 km. and not miles. The geographical location of the Antica Ruota is appreciated by our customers who prefer a quiet and relaxing but at the same time not too far from the town center. But who is the Antica Ruota is equipped with own car or hire, which is used in particular to visit the historic sites of Sicily. The shuttle service is currently not available for the reasons mentioned above. On August 14, 2014 was inaugurated the "road of lemons" perfectly paved which is only 200 meters from the 'Old Wheel. The air conditioning works since the first week of August 2014, it was introduced a new air conditioner that provides additional comfort climate to customers. The management of the temperature of the room is done, however, only keeping the window closed, as there has already been explained. Wifi is currently provided only in public areas. On September 1, in Italy opened the hunting season, to which we are strongly opposed, which is often practiced by uncivilized people heedless of safety distances from population centers, imposed by Italian law. Therefore we do not have a circle of hunting but a circle of uncivilized. Regarding the shower we are still providing to make improvements. For this reason, we find it hard to understand the reasons that led you to leave suddenly our hotel. With regard to the cost of the room, we apply reasonable rates under our neighbors and respectable competitors. There also was charged an extra night, as per booking made on May 2, 2014. We applied only to the rules set by most of the hotels. As described above, does not want to be a controversy, but only a clarification regarding a structure as the Old Wheel, in which working people that aim to enhance the reception of guests. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to highlight the positive image of our business, "the Old Wheel". Cristina Ceraolo

So this hotel is very hard to find especially if your not from the area. Me and my girlfriend came all the way out from Catania to stay here and got lost for an hour, we called the hotel and they said "oh yea it's very hard to explain how to get here over the phone so we'll send someone to meet you were your at and you can follow them here." 45 mins later we were still sitting around wondering were our "escort" was. My girlfriend called them back to have them tell us they looked for us and couldnt find us so they gave up, keep in mind they didn't even bother taking our phone # down to call us back and let us know what was going on. When we finally found this hidden hotel we were told that there would be no air conditioning all weekend because it was broke, keep in mind this was in mid July. We couldn't even enjoy the pool because they had about 20 tables wrapped around it and about 15 people working for preperation of a wedding reception that was going to start at 9pm. If you looked at the pictures of this Hotel layout imagine trying to have privacy in your room while having to keep your shutters wide open because of the heat and having the party goers staring right up at you. Of course the music was blasting so there was no chance of getting any sleep since the reception was scheduled till 1230am, and forget about trying to find easy parking with all those people there. Once we realized all these negatives just wasn't worth the headache we packed up our stuff got our refund and booked a last minute room in taormina.

This hotel is beautifully situated-idyllic is the perfectly apt term-and the staff are beyond description; their genuine kindness, warmth and dedication is unparalleled. Our first day it rained all day and evening but we were surprised by a knock on the door-twice. Once was the day-manager bringing us a large Umbrella for use during our stay (a God-send as we had forgotten ours); the second, the same lady bringing us a bale of fresh towels as we had been in our room all afternoon and thus she hadn't been able to clean or replace the towels and obviously cared more deeply for our hygiene than we did! The house keeping service was unparalleled; so much so that we had to hide the compliment soap we had opened because every day they replaced the soap for a new one! From my delightful sunbathing spot by the beautiful, refreshing light-saltwater pool, I could spot the lady cleaning the blinds and doorframe-essentially paying more attention to cleaning our room every single day than I ever have my own home! My nightclothes were folded, toiletries tidied and generally we entered the room every afternoon feeling spoilt and cared for.
The bedrooms are cosy, the beds very comfortable, the wardrobe spacious, and the view from one's balcony each morning is soul-affirming. The bathrooms are compact and could do with a shelf under the mirror, but they are spotless and the simple toiletries provided are of good quality.
The sun came out from Day 2 and we had a beautiful trip, genuinely made perfect because of the service at the hotel. The quaint restaurant serves delicious, fresh Sicilian food (the chocolate flan [like a soufflé or pudding-cake] was unparalleled in deliciousness!) and the service was friendly and conscientious yet relaxed. Cristina, the absolutely lovely, friendly proprietor, suggested items which were not on the menu which the chef could make, and we enjoyed many lunches by the perfectly-clear, clean, bright pool. Breakfast was served 8-10am and was worth getting up for: home-made croissants filled with jam, freshly made eggs, Italian biscuits and yogurts as well as simple cereals and fresh fruit which changed frequently. Additionally, armed with the list provided by Cristina which suggested places worth visiting, we were able to confidently explore places a little off the beaten track when we weren't enjoying having the pool to ourselves (a peek of going in September I think!).
My only word of advice is to ask beforehand if they are holding any weddings or parties during one's stay-they had two weddings while we were there (it really is a perfect setting and they made both beautiful!) and we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity for people-watching, music and benefitting from trying different leftover cakes and appetisers the next day. But if you're an early-sleeper who needs quiet it may be best to check first, or perhaps just pack ear plugs so you're not disturbed by the (fabulous) fun Italian music if a reception is being hosted in the garden.
All in all, my most perfect holiday yet!

Delicious food in a very nice location. Thank you for the kindness, typical of Italians. We were there for a dinner, not very crowded, perfect to speak and relaxing. Hope to come there soon and good luck!

"Stay at the Il'Mulino in downtown Capo and ask for a room with a nice view of the Mediterranean Sea, like room 207. It is quiet but near everything. Stay away from the L'Antica"
