Giarra Holidays

Cleaning service was excellent. Parking was also good, but it was off season so there weren’t too many guests. The ambience around the pool was stellar with comfortable canopies beds and places to enjoy the sun. Breakfast was provided by the neighboring restaurant, and the woman who made omelettes could not have been more un-friendly! In fact, “omelette lady” has now become code between my husband and me for a person who is not nice. Our bed was too bouncy, but the room was spacious. We had a flood from the shower into the bedroom, and the staff told us not to worry about it and that it was “normal.” That struck us as strange, but we figured it was an Italian thing.

B&B is in a great location. I traveled alone and walked everywhere to dine and shop I felt safe and enjoyed the area very much. I drove less than 10 miles to the train station so I could go to Palermo. EASY! The B&B is simply furnished but clean and with ample amenities. Staff is nice..

Nice location in the vineyard in the top of the hill. Great view to Lipari Islands. But terrible road to property and bad sound isolation between rooms. Our neighbor family with two child's laugh talking until midnight and then we heard baby crying until 2h. Excellent breakfast with real red orange "spremuta".

Beautiful grounds and pool. Beach disappointing, but quiet. Music every evening went on too late, near hotel rooms. Breakfast and dinner buffets excellent, but very difficult to get to anywhere else to dine as shuttle returned to hotel at 6pm. Hire car would be useful, but not essential as there are trains and taxis available.

We had the most wonderful stay at Insulae Resort. Such a beautiful resort that went beyond what we were expecting. I commented to my wife that it “felt like a little piece of paradise.” It was so relaxing, the poolside lunch lunches are great, the bar serves great drinks at great prices and the a la carte restaurant, Zayt, is exceptional. We had dinner in there on the first evening and it was an experience to remember. All the staff were so friendly and engaging, we were made to feel so welcome. Special thanks to Antonino, Gianpiero and Salvatore. What great guys! We really didn’t want to leave and fully intend to stay again. We felt really at home is Sicily and there is so much more to see. Can’t wait to go back. Grazie mille a tutti!
