Villa Athena Resort

"Dinner at Italian restaurants usually starts at 7:30 pm. At Athena, we enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, which turned out to be the most expensive meal of our trip to Italy. The hotel's special seafood platter for two cost €90, and the white wine recommended by the waiter was also quite good. The flowers in the room were beautiful, the bottled water on the bedside table was complimentary, and the items in the mini-bar were reasonably priced."

Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel

"Verdura Resort may be Sicily’s best resort. There is no stone left unturned when it comes to service and hospitality here. Anything little thing I wished they could have done - they did. - Messy wires from phones, they wrapped. - Quick responses related to reservations and transportation, they managed. - Leaving your car at your doorstep and help with luggage, they were there on the dot. - Convenient check out since you had an early flight, they accommodated so you didn’t have to go to the front desk. - Need a cart to go one place to the next, they were there in less than 3 minutes. - Child ordering adult meals, they adjusted for kid prices. - Booked with Chase Reserve and associated benefits, they did it all without you even whispering it. Their attention to detail is second to none and by far the most hospitable resort I’ve been to. One small critique… because the resort is so large and spread out, I think they could be more creative with events or activities. If it’s peace and quiet you’re looking for, nothing needs to be done otherwise."

Doric Eco Boutique Resort & Spa - Sicily

"This is a very quiet and unique hotel. All 25 rooms have private swimming pools. The warm and thoughtful service plus the unique natural scenery of Sicily are worth staying for a few days. The restaurant charges a lot but the atmosphere is great! If I go to Sicily, I will stay there for a few more days!"

Mangia's Torre Del Barone Resort

"Outstanding from all perspectives"

Hotel Dei Pini

"As a group tour leader, we were scheduled to stay at this hotel. However, following immediate and unanimous complaints from our clients, we had to demand an emergency relocation. Right from the front desk, the lack of maintenance is obvious (notably the sketchy setup of using rubber bands to tie oversized tablecloths to the lobby side tables). Unfortunately, this set the tone for the rest of our stay: the cleanliness and overall condition of the rooms were dreadful. Some rooms had large patches of mold on the walls, several clients found dead flies in their bathtubs, and our own room was simply unacceptable. We discovered a shocking amount of hair left in the bottom of the tub, leaving no doubt that the bathroom had not been cleaned after the previous guest checked out. Needless to say, it completely ruined any desire to use the shower. In short, we immediately walked out of this property, which was easily the worst hotel of our entire itinerary. If you enjoy filth, mold on the walls, and the leftover debris of past guests, Welcome home."

"I’ll highly recommend this hotel which is really good for travels"

"Excellent service, abundant breakfast"

Dioscuri Bay Palace

"It was disgusting. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. I won't go again"

La Dolce Vita rooms & suite

"Lovely accommodation high above Agrigento, with ocean views from the terrace. It requires climbing several flights of stairs to reach the accommodation. The rooms are clean, with spacious bathroom, and everything is very well maintained. Breakfast was good, with freshly baked, warm croissants."

Il Marchese Hotel & Spa

"Soundproofed rooms guarantee a good nights sleep. Air-conditioner very efficient. Bathroom well laid out and practical. The room fridge a god send to keep water cool. Many TV stations available - more than you can watch. An excellent breakfast and charming hosts and staff. Well priced rooms. Parking close by to your room. A state of the art swimming pool. What else can you ask for!"

Borgo Giallonardo Wine Relais

"Here's the English translation: Very nice rooms in a very well-maintained facility. Beautiful and well kept pool area and very friendly staff. The breakfast and dinner were also very good. We really enjoyed our stay there and would book this hotel again."
