A visit to Sicily is truly a feast for all senses. The Mediterranean island is a foodie’s paradise, offering rustic fare that makes the most of local bounty. Crispy/creamy arancini – fried balls of rice filled with cheese and sauce – are mouthfuls of heaven. The Sicilian sweet tooth has manifested in some of the world’s finest desserts, like icy granita and sinful cannoli. Give your stomach a quick break and visually devour the Baroque architecture of Catania or the awesome holy monuments of Agrigento.

A taste of Passito di Pantelleria and a Sicilian pastry will sweeten the palates of the Guests during their stay. Zibibbo suites & rooms adopts the security measures necessary to counter the contagion from Covid-19
Nice guest house, in a convenient location, relatively new room, quiet area. We had breakfast included but the whole experience was a bit disappointing. we were given the option to have it in the room or on the terrace, but because of Covid, we had to arrange it the night before (which is fine). We set the first slot available (8:45), as the terrace is not huge and can’t welcome all guests at once. We planned to leave the guesthouse at 9:15 max, as we were continuing our trip and had a ferry to catch. We showed up at 8:45 sharp, the table wasn’t ready (there wasn’t really much), there was another table with other guests, using the only table in the shades; we waited until 9:10 to finally get our tray with cappuccino and croissant, a small bread, some jam and Nutella, 2 slices of melon and two yogurts....needless to say, we had to chug what we could and run away...I would have appreciate some extra sugar for my cappuccino, or another coffee, but the service was so slow that we just had to leave. I understand it’s a relaxed environment, but we had made very clear that we were on a schedule and expected them to be punctual (also because there was literally just one other table and we were left 25 minutes, out of the 30 ones allotted, totally abandoned!)

Our 2nd visit here. Just as wonderful as the first visit. Food is now available instead of just at breakfast - good menu, food tasty and well presented. Situated on a hillside above the sea. The hotel is peaceful with beautifully appointed rooms. Staff ensure everything functions perfectly. In these Covid times hygiene and safety were properly maintained.

Country charming boutique hotel, between the light blue of the sea and the wonderful green of the nature .
We booked a Luxury West Sicily trip with stays in 3 country hotels and one B&B in Palermo. Our first stay after a winding road trip from was Baglio La Porta, almost and the end of the road past San Vito lo Capo. After a friendly and efficient welcome, we dove into their truly heavenly pool. No description will suffice, just look at the many pictures available on the Internet. But I must say the pool area had the best comfortable couches ever, No problem falling asleep, in the fall - sun :). The Deluxe Twin room is modern, excellent bed, but somewhat small for those used to sleep big. Quiet and secluded. One can opt for a jacuzzi in the garden. Best of the trip for us were the lounge areas and the restaurant. Ample, very friendly staff, excellent cuisine, a new menu every day, and super wines. Breakfast was plentiful, extras like custom-made juices are added to your bill. The Baglio is a short 10 min drive from the North entrance of the Zingaro National Park. A must for every visitor. No entry without good shoes. Interesting vegetation with the local variety of palm tree, and lots of Euphorbia. Secluded little beaches down to the shore, with a fabulously blue sea. In San Vito Lo Capo, the Baglio has a sister hotel on the beach, handy for valet parking and a place on the sand with an umbrella. Lots of little outside in town restaurants for a lunch. With the Zingaro Park and San Vito, the Baglio merits at least a three nights stay.

A great location to celebrate any event. The atmosphere is romantic and luxurious. Different areas dedicated to different moments. Olive trees decorate elegantly the dining zone, a white gazebo next to the swimming pool is equipped for the music with a wide dance floor. Neat paths twine among grass areas with comfortable benches and tiny cosy sitting areas. The dinner has been delicious, a wide choice of finger food as a starter and then comfortably sitting at round tables a wide range of food was served as a buffet. The decorations of the “cake-table” were elegant and all the guests have appreciated everything. A great thank you to the very professional staff who has made our daughter’s birthday a memorable event!

Cosy and charming Cala Palme nestles in the peacedful oais in the heart of Lampedusa. An island within a Island, quivering with colours and caressed by the sea breeze Cala Palme promises rest and relaxation in the "pearl" of the Pelagie Islands. Overlooking the old port and within a shorth walk to the central Via Roma, Cala Palme enjoys a privileged location. The structure consists of newly built flats in a strategic position for reaching the most beautiful areas and beaches.
The place is really nice and new, located just 100m away from Via Roma, so you can’t miss on the location! The staff was really friendly and helped us with advice, renting a car to go around the island and letting us stay late the day we were leaving.

Camplus Guest Palermo rises up in the heart of the Sicilian capital, nestled between Palazzo dei Normanni and the church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti, both UNESCO world heritage sites. The architectural complex dates back to the 1700s, and has been completely restructured. It is located in Albergaria, the neighbourhood richest in history in the entire city, which used to be home to the famous Ballarò market. A new concept hotel that marries tradition and innovation, functionality and design. The entire building is designed with the guests’ wellbeing in mind: modern, comfortable rooms, spacious common areas, a fitness room, and a restaurant. Camplus Guest Palermo is just 150 metres from the underground stop, and thanks to its strategic location, it has become one of the main points of reference for hospitality in Palermo.
Stayed for 3 nights during a tour of Sicily. The room was clean and modern with good facilities. The shower was very small, about 600mm x 600mm, so not very much room for an average adult. There was no safe in the room, nor at reception, I was informed the hotel was very secure so didn't need it! The issue I had was that the room keycard had the room number on it, which I found very strange and not secure. The breakfast area was clean and had a good range of cakes, croissants, ham & cheese etc although the coffee machine only worked about 50% of the time. There was no lounge or bar and no restaurant for evening meals, however it wasn't more than 10 minutes walk form a lively street with plenty of bars and restaurants. In all a good location for exploring Palermo. It is primarily used as student location for nearby university so there are many youngsters staying there.

Our stay at this hotel was wonderful. Free pick up from the airport. Breezy check in service. The breakfast provided was amazing, the cream pastries, coffee, fruit, yoghurt etc. There is a rooftop terrace that provides a wonderful view of the old port. It was great to sit up here and watch the ferry come in and leave. The location was very central and within walking distance to great restaurants. Will certainly be returning in the future. Thank you for a wonderful on Lampedusa.

Triscinamare Hotel Residence is situated on the sunny south-western coast of Sicily, in an area which is rich in traditions and archaeological evidence. The property comprises of a hotel (with double and triple rooms) and of serviced apartments for 2, 3, 4, 5 people 200/250 meters far from the sandy beach (equipped in summer).
I would preface my review by saying that we visited this resort at the end of the summer (late Sept/early Oct), and it was in the middle of the COVID 19 outbreak. So many of the surrounding restaurants, bars and shops were either closed or operating strange hours. We had two apartments with excellent sea views from the balconies. Large and clean, they were a bit tired and had some broken fittings, plus some of the stair lighting didn’t work. Surprisingly, there were no cloths, tea towels, washing up liquid and hardly any toilet paper, which we had to ask for three times. There was also no electric kettle supplied in either apartment, nor available on site, which would have been an improvement, but otherwise the apartments were quite adequate, with good WiFi. On site there is a children’s pool and playground (looking a bit tired), and a private beach with parasols/sunloungers. The on-site restaurant tried hard with a very friendly waitress, but the food was not brilliant and the choice limited. Going elsewhere was difficult because of COVID closures, but we eventually found Baffos in Selinunte (used to be the Lido d’Azzurra), and a great pizzeria/restaurant Cibus in TreFontana. The resort charges 200 Euro per apartment per week for utilities, cleaning and supposedly discounts on local amenities, but we were not offered any of those. It’s quiet, restful and the weather was good, so if you want to be that end of the island this is an option.

Super central location, rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. A bit noisy at night being in the city centre. Close to bus terminus, only 7 mins walk. Would definitely recommend

My extended family took a trip to Sicily and stayed here while visiting Cefalu. This hotel is ideally situated a short walk outside of town (only takes about 5-10 mins by foot to get to the center of town) and has beautiful panoramic views of the sea. The accommodations are spacious with nice balconies from which to watch the sun rise and set. What really distinguished our stay was the exceptional service of the staff - particularly Laura. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She gave us her personal contact information and implored us to call and any time and even shipped a Kindle a family member left behind at her own expense! The grounds were meticulously maintained too. You won’t find better value or service for your stay in Cefalu!
