3 star hotels in Sicily

The host is extremely helpful. We were in a terrible situation where our booked accomodation got cancelled due to some issues and this property's host welcomed us even late at night. Cheap price and very near to beach. Beautiful location. Rooms are basic, do not expect any luxury. Great location if you have a late night or an early morning flight.

Not all the bungalows are next to the beach. Most aren't. They are old, there's holes on the bath tiles and doors covered by stickers. Everything is from 90s or 80s. The AC works great. Beds are mid. The fridge in the room was super loud. There's planes. If you don't like the sound of planes over your head, don't book. It's right next to the beach. Beach chairs 5€/day. I chose a blanket. There's easy...

I will definitely go back. Practically on the sea. The beautiful beach a few meters from the bungalow. Excellent cleaning. Friendly and pleasant staff. Large green spaces. Restaurant and tobacconist. Nearby there are restaurants, bars and a Lidl reachable in a few minutes by car. Bus stop for Catania center right at the entrance of the structure. Airport 5 minutes away.

The houses are made of cardboard, very noisy from airplanes!

I was in this village at the beginning of December, a quiet place, clean village, beautiful room, friendly staff Stunning sea view I recommend it to you

Something fabulous. Bungalows right on the beach. A wonderful sunrise. Beautiful view of Etna. Clean tidy. A very nice employee - a great person. The breakfast was modest but the coffee was delicious. 12 minutes to the airport. Open 24 hours. I am very satisfied. This place probably benefits in the summer, during the season. Nice infrastructure. Cottages in a wooded area, sandy beach, parking, 24-hour...

Excellent hotel in bad position (far from the center of city). Good chef for dinner.

Fantastic!! We had such a wonderful time the two nights we stayed at Hotel Scala and wish we stayed longer! We arrived our first night very late and were ravenous from our travels that day, the staff offered us dinner right after we got settled in at the restaurant on the property. We got wine and the spaghetti vongole, which was delicious. The air conditioner kept the room nice and cold which was...

Very nice employees very good breakfast The building needs painting

The property is located 4 km from the center of Syracuse. This is a good hotel without too many pretensions. The room is spacious and clean. The abundant breakfast is plus you will find free parking space near the property. Really low prices. Welcoming and very kind owner. I recommend it, I'll be back!

The most welcoming staff! Max was the best host and truly loves having guests

We had the best time visiting hotel scala greca. The rooms were large and clean. Max was the kindest! He was very attentive and caring. Such a wonderful stay. Will be back!

The chair cover is kind of dirty and I was reluctant to sit on it.

Hotel with a beautiful view and lovely pool. The only slightly disappointing thing was the breakfast.

I like the location about a 40 minute walk to the town centre with a beautiful beach walk to town, the hotel is situated away from the tourist crowds. We didn't have mattress protectors on our beds, so the mattress was soiled with what looked like a small blood stain. The rooms are thoroughly cleaned daily. The hotel staff were professional and friendly. I thought the food was really good, fresh...

Very nice hotel close to Cefalù - 15-20min of a nice walk along the see shore promenade. The hotel is very clean, housekeeping staff is really doing a great job there. Rooms are cleaned daily. The rooms may need some modernisation, but this was not an issue. Also, there was a safe box in the room. Free - no charge. Wi-Fi was decent as well. As of the staff in general, very friendly people, they...

Its a 25 mins walk from the train station, so its not in the center of cefulu Room was big and ac worked well. Breakfast was basic and average. Pool was the best thing here and free beach chairs for guests for the beach,which is 100 steps downhill.The pool was big and lovely. Supermarket was my saving grace and cheap too ,right across from the hotel.Dinner at hotel is 25€ buffet pp. Bus stop is...

An excellent hotel on the north coast of the island. The old town is also nearby, about a 20-minute easy walk. The rooms are nice and clean because room service is regular every day. The hotel also has a wonderful restaurant with plenty of space inside. Across the street from the hotel is a convenience store and a gas station if you need anything. The staff is very friendly and will always help...

I am a teacher, and I stayed with my school group in this hotel for one night with dinner and breakfast. We were 80 people including 2 middle school students and companions. I must compliment all the staff for how they welcomed us and for their availability, it is not easy to manage all those people at once, I must say that as a school we had a good time, the food was good, as was the cleanliness which...

The service was of a good standard with appropriate courtesy, the standard of food quality was good, and the services corresponded to what was requested. It is certainly recommended for those who intend to travel safely and in compliance with Italian hotel quality standards.

I stayed in this family-run hotel, all in all decent, although the quality of the food needs to be improved, as it didn't offer great choices and was a bit repetitive, the dining rooms were a bit cramped, especially the breakfast one where they also served lunch and dinner. For the rest everything is ok, because they are welcoming and ready for every need.

This hotel has had its day, it is tired, and in dire need of renovations or knocking down and re-build. Having said that, it served its purpose for us whilst on vacation and visiting family in Grotte. As many people have previously mentioned, everything is dated. On the plus side, it is conveniently located for the valley of the temples, there are shops close by, restaurants close by, ample parking...

A spot if you need a quick place to sleep, it’s not luxurious it is in decent shape. The rooms are very plain, clean sheets clean bed, I wasn’t crazy about the shower it had an old musty odor I showered with beach shoes on. The great part was the A/C it was pumping. Which you definitely want here in July where it reached about 104 degrees. It has a pool that I unfortunately could not use. The check...

Very nice staff and the pool is a good way to cool yourself down during the summer heat. The rooms were pretty clean too. I don't understand the negative comments. Do people expect the Mariott or Hilton hotel here?

Convenient for an overnight stay close to the airport. Good breakfast included in price. Staff were helpful. Fridge was noisy- I had to unplug it to get to sleep. Otherwise very good.

Good internet, smart TVs, newly renovated suite with private plunge whirlpool. Area around the hotel somewhat depressing and dilapidated with several abandoned buildings, etc.

Great area easy in and out. Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean, comfortable and cool.

Great place! Will definitely come back on my next trip.

We had a nice stay. The room was comfortable. The recommendation provided for La Barraca restaurant was an excellent evening nearby.

Out of Catania, needs a bus or Uber to town and back. Local to airport. Nice garden, clean pool.

Idyllic location overlooking small bay. Quiet, no traffic noise at all. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent local wines, some from the island, with superb food, lots of locally caught seafood. I've never eaten coffee flavoured cloud, but it must be something like the chef's tiramisu!!

OMG — this place is absolutely heavenly! Well, technically, it's a little slice of heaven just off the mainland... Our room was breathtaking, with not one but two balconies overlooking the crashing waves. We booked half board (something I’m usually not too keen on), but I was genuinely amazed by the menu — I couldn't wait to go back the next evening! Lipari takes you back in time. Quaint, peaceful...

What a gorgeous place! Perched right on the water above a popular public beach (volcanic pebbles, not sand) with views for days, the RA is a family hotel offering great service, good food and real charm. The location is perfect - ten minutes walk to the harbour through charming narrow streets, and a little further to the port. There's a boat doc by the hotel with rentals available. The hotel...

Whenever we stay at the Rocce Azzurre, which we have now once and sometimes twice every year for the past fifteen, I come away hoping the God of Winds, Aeolus, will see fit to blow me back there once more, for this is a wonderful family-run hotel, offering delicious food and perfect peace. Situated overlooking the sea, just five minute's stroll down the narrow Vico Maddalena from the Marina Corta,...

We have been staying at this hotel for years, and it just gets better and better. The location is unbeatable, for the views, and the proximity to town. The rooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. The food is delicious, fresh, local ingredients beautifully cooked. And the view from the dining terrace is worth the trip alone. The staff are welcoming, caring and kind. What's not to love?!...

This family run hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the centre and overlooking the sea. From the moment you arrive you are treated like a member of the family, nothing is too much trouble. All bedrooms have wonderful sea views with balconies are well equipped.and are cleaned daily. The hotels dining room has wonderful views towards Sicily, there is also a lovely seating area where you...

Most enjoyable. Underpass from station would be a good idea.

The windows haven't been washed for ages, the acoustics are average, you can hear the neighbors' TV, but the reception is very good.

Amazing staff, very very clean, very well located and well priced. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the furnishings, tiles etc are not latest, but are in excellent condition.

Excellent Hotel, right in the center, the owner helped me immediately to park the van, very kind staff, the room very clean and welcoming, super comfortable bed, excellent and abundant dinner, exceptional value for money.

Reasonably priced, friendly staff, spent a comfortable night there.

Great location. Comfortable room and helpful staff.

We stayed two nights at this hotel in a superior room with balcony and sea view. The room was too small for us but we knew this and for 2 nights it was fine. The breakfast was okay, nothing fantastic. You are paying for the location, it is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of Taormina. Staff were very lovely. I'd recommend this hotel for the location. It has a wonderful rooftop area where you...

Right in the middle of the old town. A fantastic location. Taomini is super busy with crowds, so it was good to be able to easily escape back to our hotel room. There is a really nice (and under utilised) roof top area available for panorama views. The rooms was nice with a reasonably comfortable bed. Breakfast was available down stairs. I would stay here again.

Lovely hotel in a good location. Friendly staff from housekeeping, breakfast staff and reception area. Marco was very helpful with my room allocation.

Location can't be beaten,right on the Corso.We have been coming here for many years & have always enjoyed our stay. Nice bedroom with balcony & sea view & comfortable bed. Bathrooms are very small which some people have written negative reviews about Reception staff are friendly & helpful & the rooftop breakfast terrace has great views. There is also a shuttle service to a nearby beach resort.

Had a most pleasant experience. Room was huge with high ceilings, modern bathroom and a delicious continental breakfast. Location was perfect for us who were not interested in views but rather in the middle of the mix. Could not have asked for more. Bed rest was great and Internet was fast and reliable.

Lovely hotel in a great location, very central to everything needed. Breakfast was great, as was the access to the private beach club. Bathroom was a little small and dated but manageable for a few days.

Warm helpful staff, comfortable beds, wonderful breakfast. Beautiful location, has an elevator which is helpful. In walking distance to the Capo Mercato, Archeological Museum. Easy to meet tour guides nearby.

Excellent service and location Can't say enough great things about this hotel. Fantastic location and service. Breakfast was outstanding!

The hotel is very conveniently located — it’s just a short walk to the main tourist attractions, which made exploring the city really easy. The overall appearance of the hotel is well-maintained and clean. Our room was okay, but nothing special. That might be because we had one of the older, unrenovated rooms. As we passed by other rooms, we noticed that many of them had already been modernized and...

Great location to explore palermo on foot and exceptional staff. The breakfast was very good. Recommend taking the time to have some drinks on the rooftop terrace at night or taking a coffee up in the morning. The beds were very comfy. The room was spacious, clean and tidy.

It was very pleasant our stay, Dario and all staff very professional. The breakfast good, and location convenient.

The pictures here kind of give the wrong impression of the rooms. Breakfast is ok, but the pastry is not fresh. Location is good, walking distance from most landmarks.

Good and nice stay stay, but hard beds Nice sized room with refrigerator and a terrace. Good bathroom with big towels! Many and comfortable pillows. Only thing is that the bed is hard and as normally down i Europe they don't have mattress toppers. Breakfast had a lot of cakes and unhealthy things. The juice was so sweet we could not drink it. But there was yoghurt! Wished the hotel had been closer...

We enjoyed our stay and the big balcony outside our room. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff was very nice and helpful. We had some difficulty accessing internet in the room.

Hotel was clean . Breakfast was the best so far. Breakfast staff & cleaning staff were so kind. Reception many different we’re soo kind. We had a dental emergency while staying there. A lady at the front reception (I think she was the owner) called a local dentist and explained my husband’s pain. We were able to see the dentist immediately. We had to cancel our trip to Palermo and stay there an extra...

We very much enjoyed our visit here Excellent hotel! Friendly and helpful staff. Right across the street from the bus Etna Trasporti. Easy to get to sites and boats.

The property is in a great location, was clean, and provided a very good breakfast. Unfortunately we had issues with our room but the staff did graciously move us to another room.

Ok 3 star hotel. Property was old but well kept. AC couldn’t keep up with the high heat outside. Very good breakfast spread. 15eur/day parking at 5 minutes walk, otherwise street parking in front of the hotel but meters did not work with credit card (also 15eur/day). Private hotel beach across the street (not free) with free public beach right next to it.

Overpriced, mediocre hotel. Only reason to stay is proximity to airport.

OK for the last night stay before departure flight The hotel is quite worn, but clean. Beds reasonably comfortable, water in the shower warm, etc. Do not expect much from breakfast. Located outside the city on a thoroughfare, there's not much places to eat, but we were concerned about parking and proximity to the airport - it is indeed a few minutes drive. Definitely on the plus side - friendly service...

Good service but very old hotel. Need refresh.

Basic, clean but tired and central for beach and town. Staff very helpful

Good hotel. 5 min. Drive from the Catania Airport. Don't walk there from the airport. It was overall a good 4 star experience.

I like this hotel. The place is nice and comfortable. The service is amazing! For the price is the hotel nice.

One thing about this hotel that i will definitely come back is the location, cleanliness and its right in front of the supermarket . I recommend you to take double room and its so affordable :) . And don't forget to bring cash for tourist tax. Well, I don't have many comments about this hotel because i feel comfortable and got what i need especially for solo traveling who wants to explore palermo...

One restaurant (Seven something) very expensive nearby. Wifi not very good. Would drop out. Stairs to third floor. Traffic noise and chair scraping.

minutes walk to train station and Palermo center, supermarket located in opposite street.

A good choice for a few days in Palermo. Excellent location and service. Simple and adequate facilities.

Not badly located, close to the central station, opposite a supermarket and Lidl. It's a pity there is no refrigerator in the room. Otherwise everything is fine

Excellent hotel, location near Palermo station

Myself and my girlfriend stayed her for a short (a few days) trip in Ortigia, and the experience was great. The location is amazing, right on the beachfront near everything, and the staff go above and beyond. We weren't the easiest guests im sure, we had many small, but persistent requests and the staff were consistently friendly, and more than happy to meet our requests with grace and enthusiasm...

The room was great, the only thing I wanted more was a kettle. The staff was lovely and the hotel is in a good area, on the beautiful island of Ortigia!

We had a great stay in Domus hotel. The hotel is located right on the waterfront. Our room faces the ocean. When we opened the balcony door, we saw ocean in front of our eyes and our hearts sang! Our host Cynthia is so friendly. She goes out of her way to help us.

The Domus Mariae Albergo was an exceptional find! The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in finding parking (an issue in Ortigia), recommending sites to see as well as authentic restaurants patronized by the locals. The room was clean, the linens crisp and bathroom well appointed. We will stay here again when next in Siracusa!

Beautiful ocean view, very clean and spaciousroom! Easy to drive to, but also close to the town center. Most helpful staff! Thank you!

I had a lovely stay at Domus Mariae, the hotel is charming and conveniently located. Be sure to book a room facing the sea, the view was spectacular. Cinzia was an extremely welcoming and accommodating host. Overall I highly recommend a stay here.

the room was great, we even has a couch beside the bed which we found extra.

Water pressure for shower was non existent… otherwise clean and functional

It was about a 5-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. It took a while to get to the airport by bus. I was surprised that the building where I checked in was different from the building where I was staying.

Nice place. Luca and Luciano /the guys from the hotel were very kind. Parking in blue zone costs 1 euro per hour from 8 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 8 pm. From 2 pm to 4 pm there is no charge.

Spent 4 nights here in March, 2025. We cannot praise the staff enough - they were all excellent. The reception staff on arrival, and throughout were extremely helpful. Whether it was prepping our arrival or helping with onward travel arrangements, nothing was a problem or a chore to them. Another big thank you to the domestic staff - the initial pillows were a little wooly; however, this was soon sorted...

Parking is a little tricky, and expensive with a larger vehicle (SUV) but convenient and safe. The facility is definitely older, but well kept. The staff was extremely helpful and polite.

This hotel is the best choice if u want to stay near the station. Its located right in front of the station. In the morning, you will be served typical italian breakfast and I love the hospitality of the lady in this hotel. Okay. about the room is comfortable and enough to stay for 1-2 nights. But if you really looking for the hotel that very convenient for transportation, i 100% recommend this...

Super hotel. Very friendly people, super service. Highly recommendable.

In Front of Train Station. Very easy. Very very clean. Very friendly personnel.

Great luggage storage option near the train station. The gentleman offered us water and let us hang around the lobby while we waited for our train. Will consider this hotel for our next step.

Did a quick baggage drop off today and they were simply spectacular when we came back for a bags they offer coffee for free and we were very intentive and we had a bottle of wine that we had brought back and they offered us to use our tables to sit down and dry our wineDefinitely a class act definitely not something I’m used to when you’re directly across the train station.

Stayed for a night. Free parking. Stuff  were so kind and friendly.it is an old building.don’t expect too much

Great staff, breakfast is very good. Rooms are bright and clean. Hotel is basically at the beach! 5 stars from me

Excellent location on the beach - though other amenities were a bit of a walk away. Room had a balcony and view directly over the beach and sea. Made to feel welcome by lovely staff.

In front of the beach. Rooms with terrace facing the sea have a very nice view. Relaxing place. Possibility to take breakfast in to the room terrace. A walk away from Punta Secca, by car too Ragusa and Modica, are not far.

If you want to go for a holiday but still wish to feel at home, Mar & Sol is the place for you! Right on the beach, spotless clean, very friendly staff - wonderful experience!

Friendly staff, ideal location for beach access.

Modest hotel but clean and well equipped. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. We had a beautiful sea view room with a lovely balcony.

Good location, however accessibility is very poor. Hotel needs an urgent upgrade. Room and beds are not comfortable

Both the desk clerk and the breakfast barista were terrific

1 night stay, quick and easy We stayed here for the 1 night and arrived very late, check in was easy. For the price, it was what you expected. Decent size room but bathroom needs some work. Location was a bit sketchy however walkong distance to all main attractions.

Superb location for sightseeing a few minutes walk from Via Etna, actually street was a bit scruffy, though that’s a thing in Catania. The breakfast was really good with a nice selection and lovely lady doing the coffee and replenishing supplies. The roof terrace was gorgeous at sunset. But our room was run down and the bathroom was mouldy and the bsthroom floor was constantly drenched, even...

Fine location for a night Location was fine, close to the city center. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The facilities are on the older side. The view from the room was straight toward a wall on the single window we had.

Great hotel on the heart of Catania The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, rooms were perfect, breakfast good. Fantastic hotel in a great location in the heart of Catania. Will definately return

An amazing oasis of calm and tranquility. Beautiful location, with great comfort. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic. Will come back.

We had a lovely stay for five nights at the charming Zahir. The location was perfect, the staff could not have been warmer or more accommodating and the actual property is beautiful. We were treated like family and made to feel very welcome. I look forward to returning!

Beautiful, well-maintained property. Gorgeous pool. Spacious rooms. Breakfast probably needs revisiting. Lacks variety. The owners are incredibly kind. The three stars go solely to the staff. They're surly, unhelpful, and at times arrogant, and overshadow all the beauty of the place. A real shame.

Zahir Country House is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness by the staff, who made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thought out, making our stay truly special. The breakfast each morning had a variety of options to start the day right. We also had the chance to enjoy some...

My husband and I chose to spend our mini moon at Zahir. We completely fell in love with the place: the peaceful energy surrounding it all, the magical landscape with olive trees, Bougainville and plants all around it, and the gentle sound of the birds singing. But most of all, we were amazed by the kindness and availability of its people: Valerio and Ferdinando made sure we were doing great every day...

Excellent location to tour the south east and east of Sicily. Noto, Avola, Siracusa and Ragusa all very close. Hotel is well maintained and super clean. Breakfast was a bit frugal but the pastries and cakes by Giuseppe the chef are excellent. Very nice grounds with a nice setting in olive trees. great swimming pool, all this in a nice and cosy environment. Special mention for all the staff who...

We were really fortunate to find a free parking spot right by the hotel where we just left the car for 3 days. Note that the hotel occupies the upper floors of the building. It is well marked, but you have to find the 2 buzzers next to the big wooden door, and press the bottom button to get buzzed in. We loved it and would stay there again.

Staff was awesome! Room was very clean and a great view of the harbor. The valet parking service was super easy. Very walkable to all of Ortigia. Would stay again!

Reception was efficient and most helpful. Rooftop breakfast was scenic and fantastic variety. Room was very clean. Great hot shower.

This hotel has a family atmosphere starting from breakfast on wonderful terrace with a sea port view, very tasty fresh food and personal, that care you very personal. And all together match the historical locations around. Just to recommend for visiting.

Very nice hotel at perfect location. Close to everything. Parking had a bit of misunderstanding as we were supposed to let the reception know exactly when we expected to arrive and we didn’t get that. However not an issue as we found a parking spot on the street just outside the hotel. Very helpful staff that helped us ton confirm that parking was ok. Room not very big but enough, comfortable bed...

Fantastic location right on the corner with the port of Ortigia on two sides. Fantastic breakfast, even with some home baked pastries. Breakfast terrace overlooking the port and the sea.

An absolutely magnificent stay. The owner Angela bakes & cooks delightful breakfast pastries. The assistant keeps your room immaculate. They are very concerned about your enjoyment and pleasure while staying there. The rooms have a picturesque balcony over the walking streets. You are only steps from the restaurants, piazza, and phenomenal shopping! Immerse in the culture and stay here.

I’ve stayed here several times and the experience is always top notch! The location is perfect just a stone’s throw from the main square. Angela in reception is one of the most kind and helpful people one could ever meet. The room is clean and well equipped. Great Job!

I've been staying here several times over the years and the property is always in perfect condition. The location is great in the heart of Sciacca. Cold air conditioning in a comfortable well equipped room. The included breakfast is excellent. Most importantly, Angela and all the staff are some of the nicest most helpful people you can find anywhere.

The owner Angela was wonderful. Breakfast was included and every morning she would come to breakfast and ask about your stay. She is very hands on. Rooms were very comfortable and I can recommend this B&B.

Amazing place with an amazing hostess Absolutely wonderful place. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She had such a glorious attitude. Parking was jusf a block away off the main square, free when we were there, but not sure other times. Charming little spot right in the heart of the town. Loved it

Lovely B&B in the heart of Sciacca with easy access to free public parking. Quiet, safe, not fancy but has everything you need. The owner is very kind-hearted and has a wonderful book of old Sciacca in case you are looking for clues about your family’s roots. Shes makes your coffee by hand in the morning and is happy to make suggestions or leave you in peace. Breakfast is a nice buffet of local baked...
