Baglio la Porta di San Gerardo in San Vito Lo Capo

First off, I don’t understand how this is a 3 star hotel. Definitely 4 at the very least. We had such an amazing time here. The staff are all extremely welcoming and kind. The grounds are beautiful, very remote and relaxing. The infinity pool overlooks the entire coast and ocean - we spent all the day jusy lounging by the pool. The food is good, definitely pricey but given the remote location we weren’t that surprised. We came mid September and there were other guests, but it still felt very secluded and private. We stayed in the suite, which was very clean and comfortable with a nice terrace. The room was a bit dark,but it didn’t bother us much as we barely spent any time in the rooms.

Many thanks to Conor for such a warm welcome!

We’ve just spent three nights at this beautiful hidden retreat and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Escaping the children for some much-needed adult time, this place was the perfect spot to relax and recharge. From the moment you arrive, the aesthetics are stunning, stylish and thoughtful throughout the hotel. The food was absolutely incredible: fresh fish daily, an excellent wine list, and very reasonably priced champagne. We spent most of our time around the pool, soaking in the breathtaking views with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. The staff were warm and friendly, occasionally things got a little lost in translation, and their directness might catch us more reserved Brits off guard, but honestly, that’s part of the charm and the cultural difference. Overall, they were wonderful. Locally, there are plenty of hidden beaches to explore, some lively, others more peaceful. I’d definitely recommend a trip to Scopello; it’s absolutely stunning and well worth the visit. I felt genuinely sad to leave this place, which says it all. If you're even slightly considering booking, just do it. You won’t regret it.

Unbelievable location with the best infinity pool views. It’s outside of town if you intend to go to San Vito Lo capo. We had a car during the trip and was able to visit nearby beaches (small entrance fee). Only major negatives. Bed was not comfortable and WiFi is not strong at all. Helps you be off the grid for a little while. Great dining at the restaurant.

I have had the best time here. The hotel is secluded, calm, charming and very pleasant. The views are extraordinary, breakfast great and service was excellent. I had a fig tree in my own private patio. It's well located to access the Zingaro natural park where the best beaches and walks can be enjoyed.
Oh and I had a massage the best in a long time. If I was to return to that region I would definitely be back there.

My Fiancee and I recently visited this hotel for 2x full days, and it exceeded our already high expectations.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The grounds and the pool were absolutely breathtaking. Photos do not do it justice. Food was great - we had lunch and dinner, and liked the dinner so much we went there again on our final night.

The staff helped organize a private boat day for my girlfriend and I, and it was one of the best days of our lives. The captain pulled out all the stops.

Location-wise, the resort is ~15 minute drive from San Vito. It’s secluded and a little hard to get to the local town, but that’s what we wanted, and the grounds are so gorgeous, we had no issues with this.

It was a great way to celebrate our recent engagement, and would highly recommend to anyone.

Whilst a bit off the beaten track this is a lovely oasis.  Staff were excellent and attentive, food was excellent and the pool and rooms really nice.  Walking in the National park was fabulous, incredible wild flowers (April) and some of the small cove beaches beautiful if quite busy.
