Luxury hotels and resorts

One of the best experiences my wife and I could have wished for. The Front of house management (Daniele) and Spa management (Chiara) were outstanding as were the very friendly and accommodating general staff. We will be going back in 2026 for sure. Colin & Angela.

We did not stay at this accommodation but we found a room at the 4* Villafranca hotel in Palermo. The Dimora del Genio was in a very bad part of town and was very dark in the stairwell. No lift, the appartment itself looked fine but the bedrooms were not good ...think student accommodation! It is not the sort of accommodation I am used to, the web site did not marry up to the actual experience. Partly our fault we should never have booked it.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house is in excellent condition and has a very pleasant atmosphere. A quiet beautifull garden where you can eat, or relax. From the garden one can see Tindary and the sea (+/- 30 minutes drive). Shops are on walking distance and the locals are friendly. So is the host. We received a warm welcome, the house and garden were shown to us with pride. This is thé place to be if you want to live among the locals in a typical Sicilian village.

My mother and I stayed here one day and one night and were not overly impressed with this hotel. We did not find the front desk staff overly polite or helpful and they were not available during all of the posted hours. While the restuarant had a dinner menu posted, it was only open for the breakfast buffet. The server was nice though. The pool was in fact a dip pool and we were not given information on the hotel's amenities and discovered for ourself the access to the beach by wandering around. Found 3 cockroaches in our room in the morning.
