Alberghi e Resort di lusso

We really enjoyed the holiday and Mr Fabbiano& Barbara were very helpful& welcoming. The property was lovely& clean& we had everything we needed with beautiful views. The only things we would have liked to be better were that the pool was very cold at 22 degrees so we didnt use it. It was heated by solar panels but this wasnt enough. That wasa shame as we paid extra to stay in somewhere with a pool. Also the walk to the local town was dangerous on a busy road with no pavement& we had to then go through a carpark& up a lift to get there. Many thanks Mr&Mrs Saunders

Ritengo che lo scenario naturale in cui il Resort è collocato sia davvero incomparabile! Anche la struttura è estremamente curata e piacevole. Non posso giudicare il ristorante gastronomico, ma, a mio parere, resta ancora un pò da perfezionare l'impostazione del ristorante Il Cappero (anch'esso molto grazioso e romantico) rendendo più varia e completa la scelta dei piatti proposti e "coordinandolo" meglio con la cucina/cantina. Se ciò potesse avvenire, nessuno più si muoverebbe dal Resort per la cena e le prenotazioni "fioccherebbero" anche dall'esterno!

The property is well maintained and very comfortable. It is however unsuitable for elderly guests due to the amount of steps involved getting around the property. The parking facilities are almost non existent and this area needs attention as it is sometimes impossible to find a parking spot and the road alongside the property is extremely steep and difficult to manoeuvre the car The interior of the apartments and the views are outstanding. The pool is very nice but cold as the solar heating did not seem to work very well We think the owners should provide soap, shampoo for guests as the nearest supermarket is a difficult 15 minute walk up a very steep hill The property is also not signposted and guests have to make an international phone call to the owner to gain access to the property if they are non Italian guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay but believe some minor changes could make it an outstanding stay We also disagree with the owners policy of reading the electrical meter on guests arrival and potentially charging more if the electrical allowance is exceeded. This is after all a "Luxury Residence" Soap, shampoo and electricity should all be included in the tariff

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.
