The exceptions are noteworthy, and Residence Villa Margherita for us was a wonderful travel experience well worth repeating. Salvatore, the owner, is a great host, very friendly and will do almost anything to make your stay memorable and enjoyable, including playing the saxaphone, giving you a drink of his own Marsala wine for an apertif and providing a gluten free meal for my wife. Each room is unique and decorated in an expressive, colorful way. The hotel has been recently renovated so all the rooms are fresh and new. For breakfast we had a wonderful selection of fruit and cold cuts that for us was an ample and delicious start to the day. A stay here will be memorable!

Decent hotel for a stay over in Sciacca. Rooms are clean…read moreand large - some have small kitchen of little or no use. A 5 min walk from the historical center of town, beware that return will be up the stairs! Breakfast is ok, just a couple of local sweets. Cheap prices and parking on streets available

Annalisa Pompeo of GoSicily Sicilian Cooking Experience is a gem! My father has been a follower of…read moreAnnalisa for some years now. When he saw that she was coming to the USA he told me he was signing us up for an authentic Sicilian cooking class. Ok, I'm in, that's all I knew. Well, it was so much more enjoyable then any standard cooking class. Our class was held in her friend and colleagues' home, she held other classes on her "USA tour" in other homes, restaurants and at a cooking school. While she is doing her demonstration and checking in on your preparations as you cook along with her, she is teaching you about the food, what you're using, why you're using it, the balance of flavors and the applicable history of it. During our class we first started with dessert, so the flavors have time to merge to enjoy later - Ricottamisú (similar to tiramisú but I liked this so much better!). We then made Arancini al sugo (ragu filled), and the entrata of Falsomagro (False Skinny) (like a braciola, made with Veal). All of these dishes and ingredients used to make them are familiar, but these specific recipe styles I never tried before; some ingredients I may also not have thought to use with the other. Everything was phenomenal! Not only is Annalisa an incredible cook and teacher, she is so sweet and friendly. You feel like family with Annalisa. Viva Famiglia! This was even more special to us because part of my Sicilian heritage comes from Favara! - Favara is where Annalisa is from and located. There is also a very real possibility that she is my distant family / cousin as her last name has long since been rumored to be in my family line somewhere. To learn Sicilian style cooking of that region and that town brings us so much closer to our roots. I cannot wait to finally plan a trip to see the towns my family came from, and now I have a personal connection there to see and cook with again! I'm also excited to learn of the Almond, Museum, Winery and Olive Oil tours she will take you on! GoSicily is a MUST on your Sicilian agenda!

Decided to take a trip to the Vally of Temples while we were in Sicily. Found this on a travel app…read moreand decided to give it a try because of its positive reviews! I am SO HAPPY that we did. Daniel, who checked us in, is AMAZING!! Friendly, professional and had the most wonderful suggestions for restaurants to have dinner. We chose one of his recommendations, Kokalos, which offers spectacular view of Temples, delicious food and excellent service!! Daniel put us in the best room which overlooked the garden and the view of the illuminated Temples at night was very romantic! The bed was huge and VERY comfortable! WiFi and buffet breakfast with tons of tasty selections are included! The bathroom was spacious and had a higher pressured shower than other places we've stayed. The prices are very reasonable and the proximity to the tourist areas is convenient! I highly recommend this boutique hotel for your next visit to the area! ----------------------------------------- Abbiamo deciso di fare un viaggio nella Valle dei Templi mentre eravamo in Sicilia. L'abbiamo trovato su un'app di viaggio e abbiamo deciso di provarlo per le recensioni positive! SONO COSÌ FELICE che l'abbiamo fatto. Daniel, che ci ha fatto il check-in, è STRAORDINARIO!! Cordiale, professionale e ci ha dato i migliori suggerimenti sui ristoranti in cui cenare. Abbiamo scelto uno dei suoi consigli, Kokalos, che offre una vista spettacolare sui Templi, cibo delizioso e un servizio eccellente!! Daniel ci ha messo nella stanza migliore che si affacciava sul giardino e la vista dei Templi illuminati di notte era molto romantica! Il letto era enorme e MOLTO comodo! WiFi e colazione a buffet con tonnellate di gustose selezioni sono inclusi! Il bagno era spazioso e aveva una doccia con una pressione più alta rispetto ad altri posti in cui abbiamo soggiornato. I prezzi sono molto ragionevoli e la vicinanza alle zone turistiche è comoda! Consiglio vivamente questo boutique hotel per la vostra prossima visita in zona!

This is a very nice property with an excellent dining room and patio. The rooms are spacious and…read morewell appointed. The staff are well trained, helpful, and efficient. Best of all, it is but short walk to one of the entrances to the Valley of the Temples and also a reasonable walk to the city center. It was a shame to only have one night here. Maybe someday to return.

I recently stayed at the Paguro in June while on vacation from Chicago in Sicily. Let me start by…read moretelling you how great and helpful the staff was at this unique hotel. They treat you as if they have known you for years. They attend to all your needs. Always are attentive and have a smile to greet you. Salvatore and Giacomo will do their very best to ensure your needs are met. The hotel itself is unique due to its outstanding location. Right on the sea. Beautiful view and the sound of the water is soothing. The rooms are spacious and clean. They have everything you could possibly need while vacationing. The food at the little hotel restaurant was terrific. They made a fish dish special for my group that was delicious. The chef, Paolo came out to make sure everything was to our liking. The seafood was fresh, tasty and plentiful. They also serve a typical Italian breakfast in the lobby restaurant. It is not a new hotel but very comfortable and welcoming. You won't meet a friendlier staff who is willing to attend to your every need. The hotel is clean and the view is priceless! The ambiance makes me want to go back right now. This hotel is what makes Sicily so wonderful!

Lovely family run B&B that could be first rate with a few improvements. Our room was a nice size…read morebut lacking in some basic creature comforts. There was no place to sit comfortably- save a table with chairs and a single bed pressed against the wall. No carpets or rugs on the brick cement floor to protect from the cold. A small bathroom without a stopper for the sink, a nice shower with plenty of hot water though. No tissues anywhere. Our towels were not replaced the next day but hung up by the shower- I put them outside to dry in the sun but skipped the shower as it was too cold in the room. The breakfast was nice, eggs were made to order and the croissants were authentic. We did have dinner our first night where all the guests sat at one table. The guests were interesting but the food was not- so salty we could not eat it- and it took almost 4 hours to serve. My husband left at 10 and I left at 10:30 before dessert was served!
