Where to stay in Sicily

The room was spotless and the staff was attentive to our needs. They were very helpful whenever we asked questions.

When we did the check in, two young lady and gentleman at reception were friendly, which made us feel welcome. However, we had a plane to get and booked a shuttle to airport at 3:30am, the brown guy who charged at night was SUPER RUDE AND MEAN. He dropped one of the breakfast bags (he saw me already took one suitcase and a handbag, but still gave me three breakfast packs). The yogurt was broken and...

Family vacation Hotel is old and in need of repair and cleaning. Room was clean but evidence of mold above shower head. Mattresses are memory foam with memory beyond useful wear. Breakfast was very disappointing. Location was excellent.

Old property that is very quaint and unique. Perfect for a stay in the heart of the historic district. The staff is VERY friendly and accommodating. I would definitely return!

Very nice hotel in the center of Palermo, spacious and clean room.

It’s a nice hotel close to ports . It’s a small boutique hotel . We stayed on top floor which was roomy and spacious

Totally lovely hotel with outstanding cafe. Giovanna’s attention also wonderful food she deserves a raise in pay

very nice hotel for a stay. Great location !

Friendly efficient staff,breakfast was lovely.

Fridge not working. Weak aircon. Poor service overall. Bad breakfast

Hotel was lovely and fairly centrally located, about 30min walk from Palermo central station. Very close to the marina and the hop on/off bus starting point. Room was nice and bed was huge. The only downside was the shower, it was tiny, I’m average sized and every time I went to wash my hair, I banged my elbows on either side of the cubicle even if I stood at an angle. Breakfast was in a little...

Had a great time... Extremely nice staff wonderful breakfast.. If you can drive in Palermo you can drive anywhere CRAZIE DRIVERS get all the rental insurance you can thank me later.

This hotel is astonishingly beautiful. The bedrooms & bathrooms are very comfortable and luxuriously appointed. The gym is the biggest & classiest I’ve ever seen at a hotel. The breakfast spread is also the biggest & most beautiful I’ve seen in at least a decade. The staff are so hospitable and very handsome. 😂 I *must* give it 5 stars because that’s what it is. My only complaint is one that...

I stayed at Hotel Des Palmes in Palermo from December 10th to 15th, 2025, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The rooms are excellent, very clean, well maintained, and with high-quality amenities. The gym on the top floor is comfortable and a great extra for a city-center hotel. Breakfast was very good—every morning my omelette was perfectly prepared, and the staff were always kind, attentive...

great service. staff is very helpful

I booked larger room, deluxe room, so room is not small, has space for luggage. The room has two chairs, a window face to the street. The property is not too far from the Old town and other restaurants and luxury stores, about 5-7 minutes walk to the opera house, 25 minutes to thanks cathedral. Hotel’s public space is very charming. There are two places that are not meet my expectation: 1) the bathroom...

The Grand Hotel et des Palmes is one of those places where time seems to bend out of sheer courtesy. The moment you step inside, you’re wrapped in an elegance that never needs to show off: gentle scents, soft lighting, and staff who appear exactly when you need them, as if they’d read your mind a minute earlier. The rooms are an ode to refined discretion. Silky fabrics, calm colors, details that don...

Definitely want to come back again! Has great views and is very close to the main Taormina area.

Made a reservation at the patio bar just to step on to the spectacular property and see for ourselves. The vibe and atmosphere is amazing and worth the price of drinks to wander through the gardens and peek at the swimming pool!

I recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone who loves luxury stays. We escaped a fake 5-star hotel on the bay of Taormina and took refuge in this oasis of luxury and well-being. The staff was fantastic and the cleanliness was impeccable. The food was exquisite; the restaurant was Michelin-starred. This was our first experience in Sicily, and I must say, Taormina is truly magical. Come and discover this...

Spectacular hotel with perfect service. Wonderful food, a perfect location and all around great experience. A truly special property.

From the moment you arrive at Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, Taormina, you know you are somewhere extraordinary. Set within a former 14th-century Dominican monastery, the hotel seamlessly blends history, beauty, and modern luxury. Walking through its cloisters, gardens, and terraces feels almost surreal — every turn is a photo opportunity, framed by dramatic views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna...

10/10! Exceptional experience. Although we were not staying at the Four Seasons Taormina on this visit, we are already in the process of planning our stay for fall 2026 for a special celebration, and this experience only reinforced that decision. We came for lunch at Anciòvi and arrived later than planned due to issues at our hotel elsewhere. Despite this, the team was incredibly accommodating and...

I loved this hotel. The staff was great and very helpful. The location was perfect for shopping and dining, people watching and sightseeing. The hotel is very charming with an eclectic array of art everywhere. The hotel has a sweet outdoor patio with real grapes/grapevines growing above it and it faces the water, so when it's time to relax, it's perfect for people watching. The only slightly negative...

Ortigia Stay Beautiful property. Perfect location. Outstanding service. Comfortable bed.

wonderful location. Attentive staff. Amazing breakfast. I can’t say enough great things about this place.

This is an hotel full of character and style with brilliant service from truly excellent staff. Our room was large, very comfortable and clean with A/C and an excellent shower which was greatly appreciated. The hotel was everything we hoped for and more besides and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff cannot be overstated. We enjoyed excellent breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay...

What a great stay at the Charme. Staff were wonderful the hotel is beautiful the room excellent and the terrace is a wonderful place to just sit and look over the sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again

Amazing service Host were very welcoming and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The terrace is a hidden jewel.

A very nice hotel Great food Lovely and clean Amazing views But ....no Night life One night there was a piano bar but the next day's nothing Im waiting for tonight I was disappointed really apart from that its lovely No were to go in the close by area

Location, funicular was excellent.

Perfectly located, with beautiful view! Room clean and confortable! We had a lovely stay

Don't let the low price scare you away! This place is AMAZING! I booked the cheapest room and didn't expect much. It was large, clean and had a BALCONY with views of the ocean! Breakfast was included in the base price and it was a full breakfast with every breakfast food you can imagine! Bacon, eggs, potatoes, fresh squeezed OJ, pastries, breads, yogurt, coldcuts, etc. etc. etc! We added the...

Room was a little dated , very small tv but overall a great value that included breakfast, I would stay here again

l've been here for a week and I've been having a great time. The room is spacious and clean. The pools and the beaches are wonderful and the evening are always fun because of the music. There is good food but the dining area is a bit chaotic. The pasta is really good, the second dishes are good too but a bit repetitive. I never got desserts but they looked ok. Breakfast was really limited, in fact...

Incredible sunsets daily!!!! Location superb, staff incredible and hotel very clean & comfortable . Breakfast was great every morning with the best home made pastries. Anita was awesome! A definite 10++++

The room had a strong musty smell, which was a bad experience. It's very close to the town center but far from the sea.

The hotel facilities and equipment in Europe are average, but as long as they are convenient, you can't have too high expectations. The hotel is located on the highest hillside, next to a public parking lot, which makes it convenient to drive here by yourself, but it is difficult to get a parking space immediately in the peak season. The hotel itself has several parking spaces but the price is very...

Very close to the public parking lot and convenient to the attractions

The room is too close to the road. It feels like the cars on the road are about to turn into the room.

Stayed for 4 nights in a jacuzzi room with garden. Really nice clean room, great service. Because it was low season the bar and restaurant were not open but it’s just a short walk into town. The lady on the front desk was very friendly and helpful. My two criticisms were that our room didn’t have a smart TV so we could not stream content on our own language. We also couldn’t get a lie in if we tried...

The Location at the sea is beautiful. We got a big room on discount because we booked last minute via booking. The room was clean but there were ants (don't leave food around!!). The front desk staff was super friendly (especially Julia), gave us kind suggestions for our trip and advice to get around the island. Unfortunately relaxing at the pool was impossibe because they were always blasting...

Staying at this hotel in Italy was truly one of the most magical experiences of my life. The view alone is worth the trip — waking up every morning to such beauty and watching the sunsets paint the sky in colors I’ll never forget was absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere of the place is warm and welcoming, making you feel both relaxed and inspired. It’s the kind of location that immediately makes...

Enjoyes every second. Super friendly staff, dreadlocks guy Nicola was exceptional. He recommended us the best wine and gave us a service with a smile.

Will start by saying staff for the most part are excellent and do what they can with what they have. Big love to Roberta and Aurora on the front desk, Jack the Resort Life Manager and Francesca the musician, they made sure we enjoyed our time in Favignana and always had a smile to brighten your day. That being said - the resort is a little tired and weathered, needs some love from the owners and you...

We have the most incredible experience at this Resort and it all started at the front desk with the very pleasant Roberta. We absolutely loved Gaetano & Vincenzo by the pool bar! These two guys were incredible with the highest possible level of service available! I have not personally experienced a more fun pool bar anywhere. We had a room that was on the ocean side and had a back patio or balcony...

We really liked our stay and even added one more day because we enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend but here is a list of pros and cons. Pros: 1. Clean room 2. Amazing pool and especially the beach for snorkeling 3. Great breakfast with a variety of choices 4. The shuttles made it easier to go to the center and get what we needed Cons: 1. Shuttles weren’t always available at night especially Monday...

The front desk was great everyday we were there especially Rosanna, Irene and Chiara. The wait staff in the restaurant who work morning, noon and night are amazing and couldn’t be more helpful then they were. Our rooms were beautiful and had amazing ocean views. The whole campus was beautiful and in amazing condition. Grazie Mille!!

We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel and cannot thank the staff enough for providing such a wonderful service. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and we really enjoyed our evening meal in the restaurant! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay very special. Cefalu itself is a brilliant town to visit. Lots of places to visit and so much choice when it comes...

My husband and I had traveled from Taormina to Cefalù for 2 nights and our experience with Alberi del Paradiso exceeding all expectations. The hotel staff was more than accommodating, having provided recommendations for activities and helping us with bookings such as dinner and wine tasting and even secured us shuttle services to their sister hotel, Le Calette. Breakfast at the hotel was lovely each...

Staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Rosanna took care of reservations and arrangements for different activities that made our stay a truly relaxing experience. Grazie mile!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for four nights and loved it. The location requires a bit of a hike (or shuttle) but we didn’t mind walking off our pasta and gelato. The staff is so kind, welcoming, and very helpful. The breakfast is incredible. Our room was clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed visiting the beach club at the sister hotel across town. Would recommend!

We had a luxurious stay at Alberi! The staff kindly met our request for a better view and were so gracious. The terraces set up for breakfast are a delight and so elegant and pretty. The pool is gorgeous too. The hotel is right near a walkway that leads right to town! Yummy extensive breakfast buffet with the most friendly and welcoming staff! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Stunning hotel and SPA with the friendliest staff and outstanding service by absolutely everyone. Breakfast was superb, as well as all the food we had during our stay, and the delicious cocktais. One of the best beds I have slept on while travelling. Loved every minute, thank you 🙏

We enjoyed our stay at Almar Giardino. The room we stayed in (junior suite) is beautifully designed, spotless, quiet and very comfortable. Staff members are exceptionally friendly and attentive. Evenings were enriched by two musical experiences: one with live vocals and a guitar and another with an artistic guitar performance both adding real atmosphere. Breakfast was not to our personal taste and...

Fantastic hotel and service, staff are very friendly and professional. We had a great stay. We went at end of August 2025. Three minor comments on the property (1) the pool was very cold - too cold for our kids - would be good if there was temperature control (2) a regular shuttle into town would be good, we hired a car but if there was a regular shuttle on an evening it would be better; (3) the beach...

The staff made our stay really good friendly and professional

Pros: The resort is beautiful and the employees are amazing! Incredibly friendly and always smiling, also providing nice suggestions. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished. Cons: The private beach is a nice touch, but it doesn’t look nor feel like the beach of a five star resort. It’s good to rent a car if you wish to explore the surroundings, as the nearest city is 10 minutes by car...

We like the experience and the property

The location is amazing, near lots of shops, a train station and a 2 minute walk straight to the beach. The rooms are not the greatest, as some areas are not too clean, it is a bit outdated and the air con was not on (which might just be because it is not in the summer when I visited). The staff are polite and professional and always give you a smile. Although lots of reviews say that the food is bad...

I can sincerely recommend this hotel — it has a perfect location, just a three-minute walk from the beach. The staff are wonderful, friendly, and always ready to help. The room was spacious, with an even larger balcony offering a stunning sea view. On the top floor, there’s also a beautiful terrace where you can sunbathe and enjoy the beautiful view.

I sincerelly reccomend Hotel Delle Palme in Letojanni. Beautiful area and views, close to the sea. Kind and very helpful staff. Delicous food at the hotel's restaurant. I'm looking forward to coming there again soon. Grazie per tutto e cordiali saluti :)

We have stayed here for 5 days. The staff was helpful, the cleaniness of the hotel rooms was really good, the AC works from 14:00 till about 6:00 in the morning but the rooms don't get that hot. The issue is if there are loud guests at the hotel because everything can be heard - water running through the pipes, every move of the furniture etc. The breakfast was nice, however there's not much variety...

This place is perfect for when you want to visit Sicily and stay at the beach away from the crowd of Taormina. The rooms are efficient and clean. The staff is top notch and can help make your stay in Letojanni more fun, comfortable and exciting! Rooms have a wonderful view of the sea and it's only a block away!!! When in Sicily, stay at Hotel Delle Palme!!!

Our stay at the Hotel delle Palme in Letojanni, Sicily, could not have been better. The entire staff of the hotel were wonderful and accommodating. Comfortably located close to Mt. Etna, Siracusa, Taormina and other landmarks. Rooms were comfortable and the sea view rooms offered a great vista. Letojanni itself reminded us of our hometown - small, quiet, homey. Great stay in a wonderful place.

Aurelia made our stay unforgettable. She was welcoming, attentive, kind and always professional. The hotel is lucky to have her! Thank you Aurelia for your excellent service, always with a smile!

It is a very simple and basic place, good for a short stay and if you are not looking for at least minimal luxury. The room accommodation was clean and functional, with only essentials provided. The facilities are limited, but enough if you only need a place to sleep. Staff were polite and check-in was easy. Overall, it’s suitable for budget travelers who don’t need many extras. Ten points for perfectly...

I was very happy with the hotel, it was clean, nice rooms, and the animation team is fantastic and they do a very good job, they organize fun games and they are very lovely. I woud go there a other time as soon as possible it is a recommendation to go there!!

This was an amazing holiday thanks to the best animator of all, Khaled you have been wonderful and we will surely remember your energy and positivity! You have made our holiday! Thanks again and greetings from Belgium

This was an amazing holiday thanks to the best animator of all! khaled, we will surely remember you, your positivity, your positive wonderful energy and good vibe! Greetings and thanks from Belgium

Whole stay in Hopps Hotel was amazing! Food, professionalism of the crew and what most important - animations! Khaled is the animator that everyone should be very grateful to have! Gave us so much energy during our stay that I couldn't even imagine, for sure it wouldn't be the same without him. I can honestly say that staying in Mazara del Vallo in Hopps hotel was the best time I've had!

Excellent structure, huge and well-kept, arranged around a huge and meticulously maintained park, all overlooking a dream beach. Buffet restaurant service with a wide variety of dishes of all kinds, freshly baked pizza every day, and always something grilled on the spot (fish or meat). Spacious, welcoming and clean rooms. I recommend everyone to take a short walk to the left of the beach, past the...

I FIRST OF ALL say that it is not a tourist village but a club, so we did not pay the entertainment card, and it is a good saving of money, the entertainment was there, very soft and few entertainers, but being the penultimate week before the closure I think it is normal, however the good guys, they tried to involve as many as possible, for the rooms I recommend the highest floor, you do not hear any...

A friend and I spent one week at Conte di Cabrera. It was my first time in a big size resort. I was very positively surprised. The room ( a superior) was very spacious and clean, catered to the needs of a beach life (a big balcony with view on the garden and sea with drying rack, and a big bathroom with separated toilet; in addition, close to the pool and the beach are water and soft drinks station...

Overall we had a good holiday. Rooms spacious, comfortable, air conditioning great and cleaning generally good. Food served exclusively by buffet but a wide choice is available and was for the most part good, waiters very efficient and instantly clean away used plates. Animation team very friendly and plenty of activities to participate in IF you want to but they’re not insistent (Asia is fantastic...

We had an excellent stay all the staff were fabulous.Christina reservation manager was incredibly helpful and accommodating. All the staff were very friendly and professional. The food was great quality and there were many choices,the desserts in particular were outstanding and delicious.We would definitely visit again

We were really pleased with our two week stay at Your hotel and its services. The hotel stuff was amazing. Also the hotel stuff was very friendly and super helpful, we especially appreciated help from one of Your employees named Roberto. Maria and Vlastimil Kučerovi, Czechia

Qualìty of the food is ok. The service is friendly. The location js special. Price slightly too high.

Rooms needs some renovation. Service excellent. Location away from the centre. Nice views around.

A great space to relax and unwind by the pool, very calm and enjoyable atmosphere. The property itself has excellent potential given the spacious grounds and beautiful setting. However, the rooms feel quite outdated, particularly the sheets and curtains. With some investment in modernising the décor and upgrading the linens, this place could truly thrive and become a standout destination.

My husband and I were on our way back to Pozzallo from Modica and stopped for lunch at the hotel's restaurant. Our server Rita was wonderful! The food was amazing! My husband and I are both Italian American and appreciate good Italian food. My ravioli with the pork sauce was out of this world! My husband is a chef and his pasta ragu was also amazing. Rita's selection of red wine was perfect! Will...

I absolutely enjoyed the stay. So nice and open-hearted stuff which speak fluent English. They had changed our rooms because of bugs (from olive trees and ants) and there were no further problems. Typical breakfast - cornetto with good fresh coffee but also eggs, ham and cheese, yoghurts were available. At the basement is located spa (by extra paiment). There is outside pool with bar and umbrellas...

Very nice and helpful receptionist,👍 Thank you Miss Francesca, The rooms are nice,👍 The restaurant has good food and service,👍 Let's mention Breakfast 🤔,, We definitely enjoyed it.. Such a good choice....😍😍😍😍 Thank you..👌, A group of 16 German people having breakfast also took time to take extra items from the breakfast display before leaving the breakfast area,, is this typical of German people....

Very nice hotel with a nice reception area with a piano where we played some music. The view to the sea was awsome. And a very complete breakfast.

Bed mattress need to be update, the overall property needs a be updated. When using the pool facility you are required to pay usage. Breakfast is always lacking of replenishment, example no scramble egg available if your not early.

Like: swimmingpool Dislike: -loud music until 02:00 several nights, - rooms without elevators, -noisy rooms from neighbours, -- lot of the breakfast gone two hours before ending, - during a la cart dining after 20 minutes still no menu, we left to other restaurant - roomdoor was ha

Excellent room and very clean, everything perfect thanks to all the staff

Four starts for the location, pool, clean room and nice stuff. I missed to buy some food and drinks at the hotel. I know there is a pandemic crazy situation but having a choice to buy something from the machine. Just be okay if you come here without a car. All is pretty far away from the hotel - shopping centre is 20mins by walk. The beach is 30mins by walk, and there is no sight where to get the beach...

Rooms were dirty. Sometimes there is no hot water. The food is testy.

Very nice hotel near the capital. Friendly staff and animators. Perfect food and service. Excellent ratio of quality, service, accommodation and price. We fell in love with Pantelleria on our first visit 3 years ago and even though the journey from Slovakia is more complicated (which is not the hotel's fault :-) ), we will definitely come back here in the future. I would like to especially thank the...

Posizione molto comoda per il centro (10 min) e super colazione abbondante

Ottimi pasti, bella camera spaziosa, vista dal terrazzo, piscina, cura del verde.

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.

Way more than 3 stars!!! Great entertaining group, amazing reception and problem solving oriented. Highly recommend for holidays with family and friends

Our stay was enjoyable thanks to the good hospitality and warm welcome we received from the staff. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. The food was delicious! A group of teachers

The hotel was great, amazing views to the shore. I really enjoy the event, the attention was fantastic , and food was good. The path to the sea was breathtaking!! I really recommend it!! I want to thanks to the lifeguards from this place, they did a great job and were specialy nice with clients, a 10/10 for them. Everyday I lost things in the swimming pool and they recover everything always with a...

We only stayed one night in an emergency when our booked accommodation fell through last minute. Rooms were ok, bit crowded when sleeping 4. Only briefly explored whole site, looked in need of refurbishment however amazing Olympic sized pool overlooking the sea. Breakfast was quite limited but adequate. Very little English spoken.

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
