Hotels on first line in Sicily

Many thanks for a wonderful evening! Hans & Gabriella PS - hope to be back with the whole family within soon!

Admeto Hotel Great hotel for the price. Good location. Superb view of the Mediterranean. Good value

Very personal hotel with wonderful staff - helped us with our wedding in Castelvetrano 2012 and now we stayed for a nice dinner to celebrate our 12 years

This is a modern hotel on 4 floors, with restaurant. Rooms are not provided with kettles. Glasses in the rooms were plastic. Rooms are simple, clean and colourful. Some interesting artefacts used as decoration

It was a morning that we could sleep in a little but the noise from other guests in the morning and a birthday party the night before really traveled through the floors and walls

The breakfast room on the top floor has lovely views over the town to the archeologically site beyond

I’m absolutely impressed. This hotel got me. Beautiful calm place, access to beach immediately, with parasol and sunbed. Staff was gracious and very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.

Very good hotel and clean rooms. The staff is great and very helpful. Also make sure you get a room with a view over the sea. Overall the experience was very good

Oh and you get a free sun bed at the beach if you staying at the San Vincenzo

Good position, almost at the beach. Breakfast tasty, rich, but - same selection every day. Staff very helpful and kind. Wifi very weak and slow. Store, ATM, restaurants nearby.

Rosa, who manages the hotel spoke excellent English - very polite & really happy in her role

Left too early to have breakfast

This resort is in a small town, and when we went, it appears the travel season for this town was over

There is a marina directly behind the resort and then you have to walk about a half kilometer to get to the beach, which is VERY large

A great choice! clean, location is great, property is very nice. Staff members were nice as well.

The restaurants nearby did not have great options except for the one we found ( E&O) which was incredible dining. The staff was willing to bend over backwards to help you and were wonderful

This hotel is beyond incredible, the grounds are immaculate. Our family enjoyed the gorgeous pool and sea. Everyone was so welcoming and we would absolutely come back. Just a 15 minute drive from Taormina

My partner and I stayed here for a week long holiday. The property and staff are amazing. Good dining on and near property and amazing pool and beach. Taormina is a short taxi ride away and very accessible

The charm of real Sicily A wonderful relax with perfect service and mix of chateau charm and pool and beach . Authentic and discrete

Besides the magnificent site and beach nearby, big thanks to the hotel and restaurant team for making our stay and couple anniversary extra special! We enjoyed every minute of it

Best of everything. Traditional, beach across the road, restaurant options close by and 20min drive to Taormina. Beautiful hotel and amazing staff and surroundings.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The Castello San Marco really is charming! The property is beautiful, the room was extremely spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was fantastic, and we can't say enough about how lovely the staff was! Alexandra and Flavia were so wonderful and helpful with everything we asked for

My experience was very positive: Rooms were clean (even slightly before check-in time), breakfast was good, SPA was great (we experienced massage, pedicure, sauna, pool, etc. Noise in the room was not an issue

The only remark I have is that for breakfast, the option to have scrambled eggs would be great! And I feel like the bacon they had was not really bacon, but another time of ham. All in all, I will recommend this hotel!

I needed a Dr and was promptly recommended to many in the Taormina area. Breakfast had a great selection, plenty to eat. This hotel is not the Ritz but location is great and budget friendly

Close to the water if you are interested. Great location to drive into/out of Taormina and Mtn Etna. Asked the front desk to chill a special bottle of wine and the graciously did so

"The hotel has an excellent location. The rooms are spacious, nice, and clean, and the restaurant is the same. The food is plentiful, varied, and delicious

Stayed for a week with 3 friends. Our rooms were lovely and clean and we were supplied with clean towels everyday. The reception desk always very helpful

Best hotel in Panarea Amazing hotel, I loved every minute of it! The pool is salt water, the bar is great, the room was spacious. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, I am definitely coming back again

However, the walk itself takes less than 5 minutes so it may mainly depend on the amount of luggage you have. The hotel has a very nice pool with a stunning view and a pool bar

Lastly, all of the staff were so friendly, kind, and understanding

I highly recommend staying here, it also has an amazing location

So while we cannot judge the restaurant or the food (we had to leave early in the morning again to catch the ferry), we sure can provide feedback for the hotel: if you let them know your time of arrival, someone will pick you up at the harbour with the golf cart for free

The only real downside was that even though we've mentioned our early departure when checking-in, there was no one there from management and the rest of the staff is not allowed to check you out so we nearly missed our ferry (and we speak here of the 0800 ferry)

I had a great stay over the holidays and was really charmed by the town and the location of the hotel- right across from the water where locals go to fish even in December! The view is amazing from my window and while I can see that the parking situation would be chaotic in peak time, since it is low season- it was not an issue

I could write pages about the breakfast - it was fantastic. All fresh and tasty, with four areas of separate options. We vegetarians were spoilt for choice (and there were many meaty options as well)

Though it's a little outside of town centre, it was a quick and easy walk (took us less than 20 minutes walk to get to the port, would be a quick bus or taxi ride) and I appreciated the quiet area

It was lovely to be able to make myself a blood orange mimosa to go along with my coffee each morning! I highly recommend Milazzo for a quiet holiday and I even more highly recommend Il Principe

This was quite a find! Lovely hotel, extremely well-kept and beautifully decorated. Front desk staff were very helpful. Room was quiet, despite being on the ground floor facing the road

Highly recommend for a stay in Milazzo or as a home base for Sicily exploration!

Looked great , pool was small but the surrounding beach’s are amazing

The rooms were average size but perfectly adequate. Breakfast was very good with a large selection of options and very helpful staff. The pool area was lovely and great for relaxing (be aware the pool is not heated

The hotel is very stylish and comfortable, the rooms are lovely, well maintained and clean, the staff are fantastic and friendly, the pool area is divine, the location is fantastic, we loved our family of 4 stay

The pool was amazing and the location is incredible - right on the waterfront and walking distance to everything

) The reception staff were also very helpful. Would definitely stay here again

We love the hotel, the staff, breakfast was great, location, etc....

A very unexpected find!!! Service is a first class! Staff is top notch!!! Place is historic and very well maintained, with a beautiful views, gardens and backyard! Breakfast is fantastic, all fresh, local and organic! Climb to the watch tower for even better views of the Valley of the Temples, sea and local farms! True gem!

Thanks to the travel off-season, I was able to stay at this wonderful hotel. The environment is peaceful, the gardens are stunning, the restaurant is excellent, and the views are breathtaking

They were able to competently answer any question and then dinner, what can I say, excellent, I didn't imagine a hotel restaurant was like this! The care in the dishes served is certainly 10, they have a cook beyond all expectations, I repeat not only in cooking, but in serving, in advising, in telling and explaining the dishes, everything was not limited to excellent food but was also seasoned with...

If you drive by yourself, it is highly recommended. The hotel building is a historical building. The room interior is also very good. Dinner in the open-air restaurant is very pleasant

If you’re coming to Sicily for your honeymoon, this place is definitely worth staying for a night or two

Beautiful location overlooking the Greek ruins. Food was delicious. Wish they had a pool on the property.

We were welcomed here at the last minute after Manzoni Elements apartments let us down ( we had booked sea view rooms and got rooms overlooking buildings - with no apology and no room change offered as they were full ) the staff at La Bussola were extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms were a good size, clean and modern

The room is not bad, the amenities are a little bit lacking, but it's clean and that's fine. I can't be picky about this place

Location good if you want to use the ferry but not near the beach. Hotel service from reception was excellent but other things not so good. Room was fine clean and large. Had a coffee machine but no cups

What I found is that although the management of the Hotel is trying to keep up with the maintanance of the Hotel unfortunately it seems that who ever built or remodeled the Hotel used chip accessories

The Hotel location is good if you are trying to get one of the ferries or tours to the Aeolian Islands. Unfortunately is on a side street and in front of a cargo section of the Milazzo Port

Some of te bathrooms fixures were all loose. The eat/AC has no temperature settings. So that you can put it on or off low, Med, or high but you don't really know what you are getting

Has a great pool, great breakfasts, has its own private (tunnel) access to a secluded beach. The balcony (top floor) rooms are spacious and views to die for of the water, beaches, mountains and distance towns

Breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of both sweet and savory options. A swimming pool was available, although we didn’t have a chance to use it. The service was also very good

Perfect, thanks for the details! Here's a simple, positive review based on what you told me: A short but very pleasant stay We spent one night at this hotel and had a great time

The only downside was some noise from the neighboring room’s toilet — when lying in bed, you could clearly hear the flushing through the wall right above your head

A truly lovely way to end the stay! Recommended for those looking for a quiet, well-kept place to relax, even if it's just for a weekend

Great location, delicious breakfast, fantastic sea view, friendly service. I recommend

Helpful owners, room with sea view, quiet and tidy daily with change of sheets and towels. Abundant breakfast with delicious donuts prepared by Mrs Elisa

Close to station and Ortigia -clean and helpful - great staging post.

Strategic location of the hotel a few steps from the bus station, from the station it is very close to the centre. Even though we didn't have a car, we moved around easily, visiting all the attractions

Very close to the bus/train station. It is a short walk to the downtown area. The rooms are decent the air-conditioners work very well. I thought their breakfast was amazing! They do everything they can for you!

Air conditioning, fine bathroom and a pleasant bed. Walking distance to central Syracuse. Minus is the small window and no view, small room and noisy refrigerator

The hotel is located in a strategic position, close to the center which can be easily reached on foot, spotlessly clean rooms and always helpful and smiling staff. The terrace where breakfast takes place is beautiful

Thank you for the wonderful evening spent by the pool at the closing gala dinner of the Taormina Film Festival, for the culinary experiences you enjoyed, and for hosting our precious and highly regarded Sicilian master, Amaro Ciur 'Ama ra

This 120-year-old grand dame of a hotel is filled with character. It’s not shiny and new and WiFi is patchy in the rooms but it is ideally located and has a lovely pool area and gorgeous views.

(I was confused because it didn't include breakfast when booking, but I was told it was included when I checked in. ) The hotel has a small garden with a beautiful pool at the end

It came with a small terrace with a sea view. The bathroom seemed renovated, and the fixtures were relatively new. The Western breakfast was standard, with smoothies available

Although old, the common areas have been largely renovated and are well-maintained. The high ceilings make for a comfortable and pleasant experience, and the staff are friendly. I even had a room tour of my single room

The hotel's extra services are above four-star standards, including a spa, lunch, bar, and dinner (though I didn't try them). The guest area inside the room looked older, but it was spacious enough

The facilities around the complex were very clean, secure, privates and the pool area was good size and fabulous! Breakfast was very varied from choices of cereal, cheeses, eggs, bacon to whole range of yummy cakes! All the staff were GREAT! very polite, happy to help and always smiling! The beautiful sandy beaches of Avola are 10mins drive away

We had two ‘Comfort Rooms’ and our whole stay was EXCELLENT from the moment we arrived

The pool area was well maintained and the kids had a lot of fun there. They also serve drinks there and the sunbeds and umbrellas are free

My only suggestion for this resort is to start the breakfast earlier. I would have preferred it at 7 and it only started at 8. The main reason being that by the time you eat and drive to the beach it is already quite hot

The whole stay was FABULOUS and can’t rate the place high enough, other to say I travelled the whole of Sicily and this is one of the best places we’ve stayed as a family -Go experience it and enjoy your time in Avila, Noto, Siracusa and all the other surrounding towns

It's a great place to stay at and a good staring point to explore southern Sicily. Breakfast was included and we appreciated the quality of the food even though the variety was not that big

I especially appreciated returning to a cleaned room every day by the housekeepers! The balcony view overlooking the sea was breathtaking. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves was truly wonderful

The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. We had a balcony room overlooking the sea and we couldn’t fault it. The reception staff were very efficient, helpful and very friendly, as were the cleaning staff too

My stay at the Seaside Hotel was absolutely perfect. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. From check-in to check-out, they made us feel right at home

We had a fantastic stay at this gem of a hotel. Its location is perfect for a beach holiday on “lungomare”and for experiencing this special town, Capo D’Orlando

I would highly recommend the Seaside Hotel to anyone visiting the area, and I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Capo d’Orlando

The breakfast was delicious with a friendly and very obliging staff. All food was homemade with a great selection of cold meats, cereal, fruit, juices, yogurts, bacon,eggs, pastries, sweets and great coffee too

Breakfast, both sweet and savory, is served on the outdoor terrace overlooking the harbor. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive to guests. A special thanks to Giovanni for his helpfulness

The owners have a unique friendliness and availability. The breakfast offers a superlative and very varied choice from sweet to savory, including typical Aeolian products. Super recommended, it is worth all the price

Hotel with location and view from the room envied by all guests of other properties. A fantastic view of the gulf and with Vulcano in the background, visible even while staying in bed

Spent a couple hours enjoying some home made limoncello with the amazing view by the harbour while waiting for some friends. Great service and hospitality

Simply the most wonderful place I stayed at in Italy! Magical location, extremely friendly family run hotel. I would definitely book it again.

Great staff, very friendly and welcoming, beautiful views, an excellent place to stop while visiting Lipari.

Beautiful and peaceful property. The pool area and gardens are gorgeous and so relaxing that we decided to take a break from visiting and simply enjoy the pool. Family owned hotel and owners are so nice

Central to Noto, Syracusa, beaches and Ragusa. A car is needed but parking is free. Also a Fantastic place as a venue for any celebration, birthday, wedding…

We were lucky to have the pool to ourselves for 2 days so we felt like VIP’s as pool drinks service was also available with beautiful views of citrus groves and olive trees and out to sea

Since there were hardly any other guests - the high season had yet to begin - I had the pool for my own

Fabulous staff and a lovely room. The gardens and pool were awesome and they let us relax there after checking out, before heading off to our next destination

Took some friends from London with us and they amazed. Tranquil environment , beautiful landscaped gardens with a large pool and very clean rooms

Spacious studio in a very pleasant setting (landscaped and beautifully landscaped outdoor area). Homemade breakfast was plentiful and high-quality, with excellent fresh orange juice. The owner is particularly friendly

There is no pool but you get free access to the pool of another hotel just 2 minutes walk up the road (you just need to buy something in the bar). Staff was friendly and helpful, overall would recommend

We had a small kitchenette with fridge, cooker etc which was convenient. Also added bonus, you have free access(buy one drink) to Tritone hotel swimming pool only 3minutes walk

But let's get to the breakfasts: thanks to Lucia, we enjoyed a variety of delicious desserts every day, especially the strudel, which is unbeatable

The staff is extremely kind and welcoming, the entire property is spotlessly clean and well-maintained, and you can walk to the center

The only drawback is the sunset; to see it, you have to go to the other side of the island

Super old fashioned hotel on the port of Marsala. Extremely clean and beautiful restaurant, pool and rooms. The only issue we had was the air-conditioning as our room would not cool - horrendous to sleep in!

Old charm ,but bad location out of town. Considering it has 5 stars ,it lacked a lot nowhere near five star. Lovely staff however with it being the end of the season. A lot of facilities unavailable

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and excellent service. I urgently needed somewhere to work whilst on holiday with my family and found this hotel. They offer a €15 per person service to use the pool

This is a very beautiful hotel, elegant and comfortable. It is an historical building very well maintained. Service, pool, location, room, breakfast: impeccable!

Charming We loved our view of the sea, the pretty lobby and dining room, and the delicious breakfast!

Drinks by the pool, spacious room, plentiful breakfast. Staff also provided excellent dinner recommendations close to the hotel. They all went above and beyond

The resort was very quiet with very few restaurants and bars but we were out of season, if the hotel restaurant had been open we would have eaten there but we would definitely return again when travelling through Sicily

Hotel Villamare is a very nice place to stay. Super friendly personal, nice rooms, good service and a very beautyful garden. The sea is litterally two minutes away

small boutique hotel, the owners create a nice family atmosphere, you can eat breakfast in a beautiful garden, heated swimming pool, 50 meters to the beach but this isn't a problem because the friendly and warm atmosphere of this place will make you come back here

I understand this for alcohol, but think, to bring waterbottles should be accepted. I give it still a 5/5! Grazie!

A lovely small hotel, we were upgraded on arrival, balcony and sea view. Set in a lush tropical garden with a pool

They offer free parking and the possibility to reserve umbrella and sunbeds at a partner beach resort nearby with a 10% discount
