Pezza Filippa Beach

An old style hotel in a good central location. Had good heating (it’s winter) and the room was comfortable. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is looking a bit tired and worn but everything still works. Staff were nice.

It is not a 4 stars hotel. The hot water stopped working and we were informed that the showers had to be very fast or we would have to wait for the heater to heat it up again.

This was one of our favourite stops on our tour around Sicily. After spending so much time in the cities, it was wonderful to relax in the peaceful countryside. The property itself was beautiful, full of character, and felt very authentic. There was ample parking. The pool, set within a walled garden, was absolutely stunning, although the water was quite cold during our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and our room was very spacious. That said, the furniture and bed were a little uncomfortable. There was a spa and some excursions. But no written information anywhere. A summary of activities in our room would have been helpful. We enjoyed walking around the grounds, although part of the path passed by a small airstrip, which wasn’t particularly scenic. Because of that, I don’t think I would choose to stay in the houses located beside it. You have to try  the almond milk absolutely delicious. We also had dinner in the dining room both evenings, and the meals were excellent. Overall, this was a charming and beautifully decorated hotel, and we had a lovely stay.
