Wunderschönes Hotel in San Vito
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt fast direkt am Strand. Daher kann man problemlos rüber gehen. Es war sehr sauber und das Personal war super nett. Besonders hilfreich war ein Parkservice. Das Auto wurde für nur 10€ Euro am Tag abgeholt und nach dem Urlaub wurden wir zum Parkplatz gefahren, wo wir das Auto abholen konnten. Die Restaurantempfehlungen waren auch top. Wegen einer Kooperation mit dem Hotel haben wir 10% Rabatt bekommen.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war etwas einseitig.

Great hosts, comfortable room, and perfect location near the beach.
Pros:

I usually don't leave reviews but I felt I had to in this case, given how good my stay was. This hotel is run by the nicest people in San Vito Lo Capo. They were very accommodating from the moment I checked in to the moment I left. The breakfast was delicious and made up of local homemade items like cunzatu bread and apple pastry, and the staff made coffee to order on a legit espresso machine. The room was cleaned daily, the water pressure was good, and the AC worked well the whole time. The hotel has a beautiful little inner courtyard as well as a rooftop patio, and space to sit out front (in company of the family's several cats, which are very cute and friendly), plus it is situated across from a cool little bar. The beach is extremely close, and the hotel has its own section with chairs which you can rent at a good price. I couldn't have asked for a better spot, or better hosts. I would absolutely stay here again if I get the chance to visit San Vito again.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like.

Pros:

Excelente hotel, muy bien ubicado, atendido por sus dueños, ambos muy amables y dispuestos a ayudarnos en todo lo que requiriésemos. Nuestra habitación estaba en el último piso y tenía una linda terraza. Era una habitación grande y cómoda.

Cons:

Lo único que no me gustó es que el hotel no tiene ascensor, por lo que tuvimos que subir tres pisos caminando con las maletas. De todas formas, el dueño muy amable nos ayudó.

Come sentirsi a casa con vista sul mare
Pros:

Stanza molto spaziosa e luminosa, con una splendida terrazza vista mare.

Uno dei punti di forza di questa struttura sono sicuramente Alessandro e la sua compagna: persone estremamente accoglienti e gentili, che hanno sempre cercato di soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta con grande disponibilità.

La camera era molto pulita al nostro arrivo e, nei giorni successivi, veniva riordinata e sistemata regolarmente.

Posso dire che tutto lo staff si è dimostrato molto cortese e professionale. Un ringraziamento speciale va infine ai simpatici “gattini portinai”, che ogni volta, sia all’arrivo che all’uscita dall’albergo, ci accompagnavano rendendo il soggiorno ancora più piacevole.

L’unica piccola pecca è stata la colazione, che non risultava particolarmente varia. Tuttavia, le paste, fornite ogni giorno direttamente da una pasticceria, erano davvero squisite: grandi, fresche e deliziose. Bastava guardarle per far venire l’acquolina in bocca.

Inoltre, Alessandro, dopo aver scoperto che apprezziamo le uova sode, si è premurato di farcele trovare a disposizione ogni mattina, un’attenzione che abbiamo particolarmente apprezzato.

Great value for money
Pros:

Cute, family owned hotel. Comfortable, clean, close to main street and the beach. Quality breakfast and great coffee!! Hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The only thing I think would need improvement is the shower, specifically the water pressure, it was weak.

Pros:

Posizione ottima, ad un passo dalla spiaggia e dal corso. Stanza che avevo prenotato, una queen, molto grande. Staff cordiale e disponibile.

Cons:

La colazione potrebbe essere un po più ricca .
Da migliorare l’insonorizzazione della porta finestra che dava sulla strada (almeno della camera che avevamo).
