    Alright
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room with Terrace and Mountain View

    Defect airco + possible bed bugs. I stayed one night and both my boyfriend and I left with a bunch (like 15 each) of itchy red spots. It could be bed bugs, but since the airco didn't work we slept with the balcony door open (so perhaps mosquitos?) Although the spots didn't look nor feel like mosquito bites and we didn't we find any mosquito in the room the next morning.

    The place is absolutely magnificent: Scopello in general is just a stunning village. There is a parking spot at the entrance of Scopello and the walk into town takes 5 minutes. The hotel receptionist was welcoming, but didn't explain anything (no map, no 'what to do or see'). Bed and bathroom are just fine. Breakfast is served by a sweet woman and is nice! Fresh fruits, baked goods and coffee. The famous Scopello beach is down the hill, which you can walk but there isn't a pedestrian road. You walk down through some bossage and a very steep hill. Do notice: it's not a public beach, it's exploited, so at the entrance you have to pay a fee and show your green card. We had to walk all the way up to grab our green card (it's steep, like we are fit young folks but you really don't want to do this walk up and down twice on flip flops). Would be nice if we had been informed at the reception, once again.

    The little balcony of our room didn't have a chair to enjoy the evening breeze as the adjacent one also the shower door needs to be sealed as water goes on the floor

    The location is excellent the staff very helpful and the view from the restaurant is breathtaking 😍

    Room key was hard to use on our door. The shower leaked water onto the floor. Didn’t realize how many mosquitos were in the area until we fell asleep with the windows open.

    The terrace view was incredible. The location was convenient and close to everything we needed!

    Breakfast was served by a nice lady, but she served a lot of things that are not our taste and assumably had to be thrown away. A buffet would have been preferred

    Busiate instead of Spaghetti for the Trapanese? :-)

    Very friendly staff, lovely room with lovely view and little balcony, very clean, our room was even cleaned between our first and second night. Dinner at the Hotel was amazing, Spaghetti with a Trapanese Pesto was delicious! The breakfast was served with much love and the view of the restaurant terrace is absolutely stunning!

    Breakfast was not included, we paid for it but it wasn't great. Also, no parking in the hotel (but because it is in the old town so cars can't go in).

    The staff was super helpful and friendly. Located in the heart of Scopello old town which is very beautiful. Also, strategically located to visit la reserve dello zingaro (5min by car to the south entrance).

    The language was sometimes struggle from both sides. The breakfast was very much okay for 2€ but soo slow and the bread wasnt eatable, even though they claimed this is fresh bread, hard as hell. The worst thing is that the closest real beach is 2km away!!! Everything else is private and u wont access it. All the nice views are private. U need a car for surviving in here for sure. Its definitely overpriced.

    The view was beautiful, beautiful little pitoresque city by few steps walking. Hotel was very clean and wifi strong. Bed was comfy. I liked the old good furniture.

    General shabbiness Terrace of our room neglected Air con didn’t work Absurdly small shower positioned so close to toilet it was difficult to enter Crappy toiletries No tea/coffee making facilities Restaurant closed (breakfast available) Mosquitoes Dingy lift

    It has great views, but given the fact it was almost empty (end of season), our room was disappointing because what would have been a lovely view was partially blocked by an ugly wall. Good (cold) breakfast buffet We borrowed wine glasses & had a pre-prandial glass of (our) wine on the terrace (see photo). That was nice.

    Because almost end of season they closed restaurant except for breakfast. They also shut down air conditioner and no screens on windows with mosquitoes. Shower way too small and bathrooms could do with complete renovation.

    There was nothing that I didn’t like about the facility, the cleanliness or the staff.

    I loved that it was a family-owned business which seems so rare in the hotel industry anymore.The meals were wonderful. We got introduced to a delicious local wine. The view of the sea was wonderful. The staff didn’t speak the queen’s English, but, made every effort to communicate with us and us with them.
