Contessa Entellina hotels from HK$579

"Lovely hotel right next to the main square with a great view of the port. It’s perfectly located to see the town and there are many restaurants within a 5 minute walk. They upgraded our room (we came in the low season) which was appreciated and afforded us a little terrace with a knock out view of the sunset over the port. Staff was excellent and the breakfast varied, hardy and delicious."

"Parking is easy and location is convenient for Palermo Airport. We were there in the winter but it looks like it would be lovely in warm weather. We enjoyed the dinner there and appreciated not having to drive off site. "

"An absolute must if you are looking for somewhere to unplug and relax while looking out at the Mediterranean Sea. This resort exceeded our expectations in service, accommodation and experience especially during their quiet season. Service: The staff is incredibly helpful, warm and welcoming. Truly felt like a 5-star experience. Rooms: Beautifully decorated, clean, and wonderful views. Amenities: Pool is stunning (dont forget the beach chairs as well), gym is limited and gets the job done, and we looked forward to the delicious breakfast spread every morning (plus a view out to the ocean). The spa is also a really nice opportunity to unwind even more. Location: The resort is tucked away in a resort area, but Sciacca is ~10 min away by car and has great restaurants, stores + shopping. Overall, would come back here every year for holiday! Giordy and the whole reception team were wonderful. "

"Paradiso! a warm staff, great wine & oil, an amazing setting and the relaxed vibe of a country estate. "

"Gorgeous location, great food, loved the animals. My only quibble was the lack of wifi due to the location of the hotel. Connection was ok in the main building but we had no service in our room. This is not unusual for the area as it is out in the country and not in the city."

"Location was excellent, staff very friendly "

"Breakfast was good but a bit picked over. "

"Easy drive to airport"

"Stayed here with my family. Overall, the experience was good. The host was friendly and shared lots of tips via WhatsApp, including dining and boat trips. The pool area was lovely, and the apartment was decent. It’s about a 15-minute walk to town (with one steep hill), but the town is charming with great food at reasonable prices. We appreciated having two parking spaces (one inside the gate and one outside).On the downside: the apartment needs refreshing as many things feel old and worn. Power sockets were very limited (only one in the kitchen and three in total across bedrooms). Air conditioning costs extra, which wasn’t clearly stated. The property is spread over two levels with a roof terrace, but note there are three apartments upstairs plus the owner’s family downstairs, so the pool is shared with more guests than expected. The pool closes strictly at 8 PM. One hot evening I went for a late swim and was told it wasn’t allowed; the next day, the host said she reported us to Vrbo and could evict us, which felt extreme.Other points: The host said we could keep rubbish in bins on the balcony during the stay, but on checkout morning, we were asked to take it all downstairs. The washing machine is shared and often used by the host between turnovers, so it was hard to access.If you’re okay with strict rules and an older apartment, it’s a decent stay. If you want more flexibility, it may not be for you."
