The 8 best Pensions in Sicily, Italy

April 27, 2023 Vergie Nakamoto

A visit to Sicily is truly a feast for all senses. The Mediterranean island is a foodie’s paradise, offering rustic fare that makes the most of local bounty. Crispy/creamy arancini – fried balls of rice filled with cheese and sauce – are mouthfuls of heaven. The Sicilian sweet tooth has manifested in some of the world’s finest desserts, like icy granita and sinful cannoli. Give your stomach a quick break and visually devour the Baroque architecture of Catania or the awesome holy monuments of Agrigento.

The location of Casa galati is perfect. Nothing is more than a 15/20min walk. Marco from the moment we arrived was amazing. Nothing was to much trouble, he was full of great hints & tips and his chocolate cake was worthy of bake off ?

Wonderful oasis

Reviewed By alenape

We stayed at Residence Aquilone for two nights with our little daughter and we loved it here. The room was spacious, clean and even had a fridge. The rooms are located in a beautiful garden with lots of different flowers, lemon trees and cute decorations. It feels like diving into a different world full of quietness and peacefulness. The owner Adriano was very welcoming, friendly and helpful and was giving us lots of tips for activities around the volcano and helped organising them. Adriano and family, thank you very much for making our stay on this beautiful island perfect! We highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone (with or without children) looking for a quiet and personal place to stay.

As it is by the seaside and very close to the centre of the village, our guesthouse provides the ideal place where to spend a pleasant and relaxed holiday in Stromboli. Built in the typical Aeolian style and surrounded by a large, flowering garden, all rooms are en-suite and have access to a terrace from where to enjoy fabulous views of the sea or the volcano.

The most beautiful hotel in Scicli

Reviewed By N665FQhelenc

Scicli is our first stop in our Sicily tour and we had the most wonderful stay at this amazing hotel. We were picked up by a quaint Italian tuk tuk to the reception and staff Jan directed us to parking by the church. Met by a very friendly hotel manager Ivan who gave us a tour of the hotel. Looked at few rooms as options and we chose our favourite to stay. Ours is actually a two bedroom en-suite with a balcony. Our other couple friends has a sitting area and balcony and cave like bathroom. Hotel public area and landscape is beautiful. Built against rocks and surrounded by residents occupied by locals. And it’s not a ghost village. At the base is the chiesa of St Bartolommeo and side roads parked with residents cars and a mini mart. Walking down from hotel is rather steep slippery pebbled road so need to be careful. To the town piazza where many restaurants are found is about a 3 min walk. The hotel service was most attentive and Manager Ivan was very responsive to our needs. This hotel deserves 5 star and I would recommend it as No 1 stay in Scicli.

Carolina is exceptional

Reviewed By askmags

After a long day driving in Sicily (bad idea I know) I chose Parching dei Parrini but my gps got me very lost trying to find it. Not only did Carolina drive 20 minutes to find me so I could follow her back, she bought me dinner and a bottle of wine. She went above and beyond to take care of me -a complete stranger in a moment of need and I appreciated that. Her home is lovely, and cozy nestled in the trees with a pool. She even woke up at 6am to be sure I got a cappuccino and could catch my flight. She was an angel and I was lucky to meet her! Highly recommend!
