VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia ★★★★

"The hotel complex is located on a hillside on the edge of Sampieri with the beach and hotel's café located a 20 minute walk down a lane. Reception, restaurant, bar , shop and other facilities including a conference room and beauty room are at the top of the site with the 11 accommodation blocks in the spacious well maintained grounds further down the hill along with tennis court, paddle ball courts and a fitness area. There is a large swimming pool and sun terrace immediately below the reception block. Electric buggies are available to drive guests around the grounds with a regular 15 minute service to and from the beach. Cars can be rented directly at the hotel and may be booked in advance of arrival on site. Rooms in the accommodation blocks are on 2 or 3 levels each with own terrace or balcony, and are spacious. The restaurant has meals on a buffet basis; choice, quality and quantity of local food are excellent. Service throughout is first class, the staff charming and helpful with nothing being too much trouble. Cleanliness everywhere is excellent. Being remote from any roads, the entire site is peaceful, the atmosphere added to by the many trees throughout. We stayed for a week in early May, the hotel was quiet and all of the staff made us feel most welcome. With no hesitation, we can say that this hotel is an ideal place to stay for visiting the beautiful Val di Noto area of south-east Sicily, and we would happily stay there again. Thank you to the staff at VOI Marsa Sicla Essentia in Sampieri for making our holiday experience so amazing!"

Scicli Albergo Diffuso ★★★

"The accommodations, location, and full daily breakfast were great along with the reception, breakfast, and housekeeping staff. Would highly recommend and would stay again."

Zafran Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"A converted beach front villa in a charming quiet seaside resort. Clearly they had to gut the place as the lovely period exterior gives way to an ultra modern interior. All rooms I believe have sea front views and all amenities although the missing tiles and hole in our bedroom floor was a bit of a let down as was the bathroom mirror starting to deteriorate. Pleasant small pool and handy car park. Lots of eateries of all grades-nearby. A pleasant buffet breakfast . In all a great place for a few days by the sea and handy for touring the nearby baroque towns if you have a car."

Giostemar Rooms - Playa Grande ★★★

Palazzo Montalbano ★★★

"Charming old palazzo in the very heart of Scicli. High ceilings and authentic furniture. Only stayed for one night, but enjoyed the luxury. Very clean. Communication with our host was very good and they very kindly waited for us when we arrived late at night."

RoccaSeta Dimore Siciliane ★★★★

"RoccaSeta provided for my family and I the perfect retreat after our days of travel, sightseeing and time spent on the nearby beach in Sampieri. During our vacation between 6th and 18th July 2025, we stayed in rooms 11 ‘Biancolinnaa’ and 12 ‘Moresca’ that benefitted from a private terrace with vistas out to sea about 2km away. Both rooms were very comfortable, each with ensuite, large double bed, spaces for hanging and storing clothes, a fridge and television (although we never actually used the television in either room). Each room was also fitted with much needed air conditioning. Our rooms were kept immaculately clean with daily servicing and replenishment of complimentary water and bathroom amenities. Our host, Cinzia provided us with plenty of useful information on places of interest and recommended restaurants in advance of our arrival via a very intuitive App. This greatly assisted us with making the most of our time in Sicily and ensured at some of the busier restaurants recommended, we always had a table at which to dine. On arrival, Cinzia took time to greet us in person, show us to our rooms and explain all that was needed to be known for our stay to be enjoyable and for us to make the most of the facilities on offer. Throughout our stay nothing was every too much trouble for Cinzia, who took time to ensure all guests were enjoying their stay, exchange pleasantries and to assist with booking restaurants, any queries etc, every time with a smile and upmost professionalism. Coffee and tea of various types were available throughout the day from the comfortable terraced lounge in which breakfast (included), lunch and evening meals (additional) were served as a buffet. Breakfast each day was a delight (courtesy of Signora Ombretta who is an excellent cook), with us particularly enjoying the homemade omelettes, baked on premises pastries and cakes, and fresh watermelon, whilst looking out to the distant sea. We ate lunch and evening meal on the first full day of our stay; both meals were excellent with fresh delicious typical Sicilian food. The buffets were plentiful and casual, with those partaking taking food in their own way for consumption on the terrace. All staff serving were prompt, attentive and genuinely charming. We enjoyed time at the infinity pool framed on three sides by sun loungers and parasols with again, views out to the distant sea from the infinity edge. RoccaSeta was perfect for us. We love authentic architecture, cuisine, and the company of people who share our passions. RoccaSeta is a lovely blend of rustic and subtle, understated luxury. Unlike some hotels, there are no signs mandating behaviours, spelling out rules etc. We found guests of RoccaSeta appreciated the surroundings and took care to ensure everyone enjoyed the peace, privacy and tranquillity this beautiful place has to offer. Thank you Cinzia, thank you RoccaSeta, we had a wonderful time and for sure will return one day in the future."

Villa U Marchisi B&B ★★★

"A very tidy and lovely Airbnb apartment equipped with everything you need. A good bed and a nice bathroom , swimming pool . Mr. Nicola is a great host and there when you need him, Very nice and wants to share all he knows about the area. We had a great stay!"

Hotel Novecento ★★★★

"I’ll start with the good— Margherita. What a wonderful person and host. She went out of her way to help us with the issues we encountered and was just so kind and warm. I feel badly to say anything negative because she was so helpful, but these points are important to share. This hotel shouldn’t have a four star rating. It is very basic. Our room was quite run down, very small, worn furniture, dark bathroom with a very weird shower. But— The biggest issue is the parking. There simply isn’t any. The nearby lot is always full, and the street parking is impossible. I’d suggest not booking here if you are driving. The location is good for restaurants and access to town. And breakfast was good."

Bed & Breakfast Scicli ★★★

"I have been booking accommodation online for over 10 years and I have to say that Massimo is the friendliest and most helpful host I have seen. He greeted me in the unit after I arrived and gave me so many valuable recommendations. I basically planned my stay around his sightseeing and restaurant recommendations and I couldn’t be happier. The place is also exactly as shown and the location couldn’t be better. Big plus was the free parking available along Via S. Guiseppe!"
