Castellammare del Golfo hotels

Pros: We had a beautiful stay. Lovely room, pool and close to town. Nice touch offering a choice of free gift - breakfast to room for 1 morning, pool towels for your stay or free glass of wine each.

Cons: Jacuzzi was very cold in am but that's due to being covered over night.

Pros: Breakfasts and the room! The staff is amazing. The will take you to the beach by electric car for 7 people.

Cons: They could have more items to select for the pool bar. During October they are out of a lot of items. They should have postage stamps and a way to mail letters and postcards....so sad!

Pros: Very well located, staff very friendly and room top comfort! We have been upgraded and got a junior suite room, with breakfast in the room, view on the beach from the balcony, very quiet room, bed super comfy... I really recommend this hotel

Pros: Breakfast was good value and the location was an easy walk to town. The pool was great and the staff were helpful. The free bikes were a useful addition to the property and there were play areas for children and a pool attendant.

Cons: The bikes were OK but could do with some minor maintenance. A pity that the beach access under the road was closed.

Pros: Good breakfast, staff wonderful, extremely well cared for hotel.

Pros: Hotel Cetarium was beautiful! The location was absolutely amazing, the staff was beyond helpful, and the room was huge, clean, and more than comfortable. If I ever go back to Sicily I will absolutely stay at Hotel Cetarium!

Pros: Everything else was perfect. Its a really good hotel, friendly staffs. The location is perfect! Close to good restaurants.

Cons: The air conditioning control is not in the room. The bathroom is quite small.

Pros: Location, parking, value for money, charming vibe

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We enjoyed everything: the relaxing location we were, the kindness of people, the strategic position

Pros: Hotel was quaint and comfortable, friendly staff who were attentive and focussed. Location is superb, plenty of bars and restaurants on your doorstep

Pros: A good, central location for visiting Castellomare and the area around. Very friendly, helpful staff and a great breakfast made our stay there really nice.

Pros: Lovely location and a great breakfast

Cons: Nothing , great if your on a budget

Pros: The location was good, it was on the main street of the little city. Unfortunately, in February lots of the shops and restaurants are closed, so didn't have much to do. We visited nearby natural reserve and Palermo and Trapani/Erice and all those places where beautiful. So if you are going in winter or in a time where swimming is not an option I wouldn't go to Castellemare del Golfo at all, the town seemed abandoned. The location host did really well, she explained everything well and was very friendly. However, the four of us (two boys, one mom&dad) found the room we got quite small, there was only room for four beds and one small closet, whose doors couldn't really open, due to lack of space. The bathroom was clean but old, with a tiny shower whose door couldn't close properly. Also, the only toiletry that was provided were shampoo/bodywash packages, like the promotional packages you get in some stores. I found it hard to open them. Also something worth mentioning: I found the Italian-style breakfast really not good for me/my family. We are trying to avoid sugar but apparently everywhere (not only in this location), sugar is what you eat for breakfast. So apart from nutella, jam, homemade (good!) cakes and baked goods filled with all sorts of sweets I really missed cheese, eggs, tomatoes, anything healthy, at all breakfast tables we visited. I guess this is a cultural thing though, not specific to this hotel. The cakes and croissants (sparkled with lots of powdered sugar :)) that were served were really good though.

Cons: See above.

Pros: The owner takes good care of me. The everyday breakfast was excellent despite the quite season.

Cons: Room with no window.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, with local produce. Friendly and helpful people.

Cons: Hot water in the shower was a bit intermittent.

Pros: Rosaria was very sweet, helpful and friendly. Molto gentile. I liked mass. Colazione was very good.

Cons: Breakfast room was a bit warm.

Pros: We had a great stay! Hotel staff are helpful, friendly, and professional. Our triple room was modern, bright, clean, spacious, new. The bed was really comfortable, the shower nice and big, and the breakfast was great - good variety and service and even a great view of the sea.

Cons: The room was plenty warm (for December), but that was easy enough to take care of by opening the balcony door or turning on the air conditioner.

Pros: The location was perfect the on-site parking was brilliant. All the staff were very courteous and welcoming. The room was very clean and had a fresh decor. Good size and very large comfortable bed.We will definitely return.

Cons: All was amazing.

Pros: Lovely location, very clean and quiet. Pool gorgeous. Breakfast was great. Staff very helpful.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Modern clean hotel, lovely pool area, plenty of car parking, beautiful sea views, great selection for breakfast, friendly helpful staff and great value for money. Walking distance (5 min or less) to the town centre. Quiet and comfortable.

Pros: The property was situated in a quiet location but within easy access of both the beautiful historic town with its pretty marina, castle, shops and abundance of restaurants and the white, sandy beach in the opposite direction. The rooms were modern, light and airy and spotlessly clean. The infinity swimming pool was beautiful and there were always plenty of sun loungers available. The breakfasts were amazing and included a choice of cereal, fruit, cakes, pastries and savoury options served overlooking the beautiful bay. The staff were incredibly friendly and could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Cons: I didn’t find the time to use the spa!

Pros: Relaxing boutique hotel with everything on the doorstep. The pool was great as was the view from the breakfast room.

Pros: Breakfast was nice with beautiful views.

Cons: Spa was fully booked for next 3days and we chooses this hotel oy because they have a Spa as weather wasn't good.

Pros: Spotless clean. Very nice staff. Delicious breakfasts.

Pros: Hotel staff is attentive Our room had a view of the sea Clean Breakfast was ok

Cons: The hotel is blindingly white on the inside, feels uncomfortable to look at There was only 1 thin sheet on the bed, no duvet or comforter / blanket, only one set of pillows The bed is uncomfortable - felt like a cheap mattress Detachable showerhead was broken so it kept sliding down Poor bathroom layout - the shower door opens into the sink, very tight Bathroom toiletries were poor - no body wash or conditioner It's really puzzling how this hotel has such high ratings

Pros: Facilities and grounds are excellent. Accommodation is neat and clean. Close to supermarket and food outlets. Will stay there again.

Pros: The location is fantastic and the residence I Faraglioni is the ideal way to explore it. Some of the best beaches of this part of Sicily are only few min. away: not just the marvellous Scopello, but also the Riserva Dello Zingaro (don't miss a visit at this wonderful natural park with its 7 small "calette" beaches, appearing one after the other along 7 km. of coastal walks: it will make one of your best memories, and I cannot describe the colours and freshness and cleaninnes of the water). Segesta, Marsala, Mozia, Erice, ad many other interesting places are also within easy reach. The trendy San Vito Lo Capo with its white sand beach is about 45 min. away, and Castellammare Del Golfo is only about 20 min. away. You will need a car to enjoy freely all these places. Without car you can still reach excellent local beaches and Scopello, but a car is essential to take the most of this part of Sicily, which has so much to offer. It is a quiet part of Sicily and driving is super-easy. If you rent through Ryanair be aware that the rental Company may not be located inside the Palermo airport, but if so they will offer an excellent shuttle service, which will take you to the rental company building in 10 minutes: this made things even easier for me, because it was at 500 mt. from the motorway, in the right direction (30 min. from I Faraglioni). The residence itself offers a small, but refreshing swimming pool (due to be replaced with a bigger one next year), barbecue facilities, and also home-grown vegetables (tomatoes, if you come at the right time), herbs, (oregano, sage), and excellent lemons, which you are free to pick and enjoy. It is a very quiet and relaxing place, with a couple of convenient mini-markets and a nice bar at a walking distance. Claudio and all the staff are extremely helpful and kind, and make you feel at home.

Cons: No much can be improved, really. I'm planning to come back soon to the same residence. I do travel a lot, but this part of Sicily is very special (quiet, rural, unspoiled, easy to drive, and free from cement), and this residence is my perfect home. My recommendation is to go (like us) at the end of May/beginning of June to avoid the crowd and get much better prices (less than half, compared to August) and much more quietness. September and even October may be also O.K. The sofa bed could be a bit more comfortable, but in the end we have all slept very well. There are no restaurants at a walking distance: you need to drive to the Scopello village or to Castellammare, or there is an excellent Pizzeria about 10 min. away by car, as soon as you enter the main road (strada statale) in the direction of Castellammare (Pizzeria Las Vegas, I believe: simple place, but excellent pizza, cold beers, and low prices, just what you want!).

Pros: Lovely apartment, friendly staff, nice gardens where you can pick produce. Our second stay here and everything was great.

Pros: Beds supremely comfortable, good shutters and air conditioning quiet and worked well, really needed given heat Claudios welcome and excellent english was a great help and we loved the dinner with the family on the monday when it was two english and about 15 italians, whilst i speak some italian my husband doesnt and real effort made to involve us and the food was fab Only 5 minutes from guidaloca beach though stoney we when to castellenamare 20 minutes much cheaper supermarket, beach with good facilities and great for families as sandy and gently shelving, close to scopello centre 5 min drive with good restaurants

Cons: Only complaint was kitchen could have done with some more accessories , appreciate in italy only get 4 rings but wine glasses , vegetable knives would have been a help Two bath towels each per week would have also been nice But only very minor things and would certainly return

Pros: The apartment was perfect for our use. Claudio was very helpful.

Pros: Very nice location, at the door of the Zingaro reserve. We had a nice apartment, big enough for 4 people, and well equipped. Each apartment has a small terrace but withour seeing the neighbours. Excellent welcome!

Cons: No wifi inside, but you get it outside, few meters further

Pros: very kind personel and host it was close to city and restaurants great breakfast

Pros: Grazie mille - this was the one of the best B&B we have stayed during our Sicily round trip. Extremely nice and helpful owners! Delicious and rich breakfast :) The room had a view of the sea. Located in a quiet area you can reach the center of Castellamare on foot. Good restaurants there. The location was easy to find with Google maps. Fast wifi. You can park your car on street.

Cons: Everything was perfect. Nothing to complain about.

Pros: Great breakfast, super friendly staff (gave us some great tips about nearby attractions and restaurants). There's some beach equipment available for free for the guests. We could borrow a beach umbrella and it surely saved us from a bad sunburn!

Pros: The appartment itself was great, it had anything we needed, and the bed was really comfortable. All an all, it was a good exeprience.

Cons: The location. From booking we though that the appartment is going to be close to the see but in fact, we've did around 15 minutes walk to the see and the parking spot was on the street, so we didn't feel safe with the car outside. The appartment was a bit noisy on night.

Pros: Hospitality; availability to park a car.

Cons: The breakfast was quite late.

Pros: Very friendly staff and lovely brekky. The rooms are fine. Great tips for trips and tours. Would defo come back.

Cons: Our room was at a junction. Lots of cars and people could see into the room if curtains werent closed.

Pros: The owner and the personnel are very kind and helpful, giving us all the advice we needed. The room was very clean, maid visited daily. Breakfast is good and includes local and homemade products. One can taste here and also buy the owner’s bio olive oil which is excellent. A short and pleasant walk takes the tourist to the historical center and to the many restaurants in the port and on the adjacent streets. The place is quiet contrary to what we expected as it is close to the road. All in all it was an excellent experience staying there and a pleasure meeting the owners.

Cons: I should mention that there are only two parking places in front of the building which can happen to be not available but there is a free public parking 50 meters away, on the side of the road. Sometimes, especially in the evening, this parking can be busy and then finding a parking place in the vicinity can be a problem.

Pros: It is about 400m to the town centre. Friendly personal - special thanks to Federica who made the late last minute checking smooth. Exceptionally good breakfast.

Pros: Localisation , close to the Main Street. Quite new decor but it was mostly red. Fridge .

Pros: The stuff was veeeeeerreyyy friendly, helpful and totally great (thanks to the girl who spoke German.... was a pleasure to talk to you) The location is perfect close to the harbour and close to many restaurant!

Cons: The inventory of the rooms are quite old fashioned, one of the shower doors stuck... and didn’t get repaired after I have complained... but the people are so nice and friendly that you forget everything else

Pros: We stayed in hotel cala marina while on a cycling trip . The email we recieved before our stay was extremenly informative. The hotel receptionist was very friendly and helpful. All staff were exceptionally attentive. They stored our bikes in a secured place in the hotel. The room was lovely with a nice lateral view of the sea and balcany. We recieved nice wine on arrival. The breakfast we chose to have outside with a beautiful harbour and mountain and castle views! We would have loved to stayed longer!

Pros: Our room had a balcony which overlooked the harbour. The continental breakfast was good, with fresh fruit, pastries, and good coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to this hotel are numerous restaurants and the one next door is very good.

Pros: Lovely hotel in a great location.

Cons: Nothing to say, we were completely satisfied

Cons: Breakfast service was good, but did not rate the choice of food available Cleaning was not the best quality, and a few amenities missing in room (no kettle, washing-up liquid)

Pros: Staff really nice and friendly, speaking very good English especially Vito and Federica :). Location on the hill with stunning views 5min drive to the town centre and beach.

Pros: The place was very clean and confortable. Very well situated

Cons: Everything was great. Perhaps the breakfast could be served at the hotel but really this was a minor issue for me

Pros: the room was ultra modern. stunning view of the fishing port from the balcony and windows. close to everything. parking outside. excellent bathroom. quirky room layout - narrow but long.

Cons: the breakfast was off site - a few hundred metres up the road. probably because this was off season. not much choice for dinner as all the restaurants were closed - limited to a takeaway. once again off season

Cons: Staff were unhelpful and parking was off site.

Pros: Staff were helpful and friendly . Breakfasts very good, especially the pistachio croissants (if you were quick enough!). Like the Kiosko.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Perfect location, Cosy room, super spacious bathroom and super comfortable bed, very friendly staff, delicious breakfast - we liked everything here

Pros: We twice booked this hotel and both rooms were excellent. The staff was very helpful. We needed an earlier breakfast for going earlier to the airport and without asking they presented a wonderful breakfast. The shower is excellent and the place lies on the best spot you can imagine in the middle of a lot of restaurants.

Cons: Really nothing

Pros: Good atmosphere, very helpful English speaking staff at the reception desk, great location in the center of a town, but still without a problem to find a parking space, very close to the beach and for evening walks in the city center or port. Nice detail is that you can use the coffee making machine and take a snack (fruit, croissant...) for the whole day.

Pros: Great location. Tasty European breakfast. Large room.

Cons: Room amenities were quite aged, but that was to be expected.

Pros: Good location close to the local beach which is not too crowded. Hotel with very simple facilities.

Pros: Lovely hotel with incredibly friendly and helpful staff located on a pretty little square close to all amenities. Continental breakfast was plentiful and good. Hot beverages and cake and cookies were available throughout the day at no extra charge. The rooms were simple but very comfortable and clean. The location was excellent with a two minute walk to the sea and a 7-10 minute walk to the port. There were several excellent restaurants within a two minute walk. We would definitely come back.

Cons: It would have been nice to have a bar, but it was not a deal breaker. There was nothing we didn't like.

Pros: Big rooms (superior) Nice staff Great location

Cons: Hard bed

Pros: Location is great, staff is extremely excellent, it’s clean and comfortable

Cons: You don’t find a parking spot

Pros: Perfect location Absolutely friendly and knowledgeable staff I would most certainly recommend this hotel Great value for money, great restaurants I will be visiting again

Cons: Found it difficult to get to on the first night, I:e One way streets etc

Pros: Perfect location - near the pedestrian street, close to restaurants, groceries, shops, ATM, etc. Spacious room with everything needed (TV, small fridge, clothes dryer, safe box). Bathroom is small, but in great condition. Cleaning performed every day. Good breakfast with Italian/Sicilian sweets and bakery. Helpful staff together with owner made our staying wonderful.

Cons: - Flat pillows - Only one wardrobe in the family room (might be not enough for 4 people)

Pros: The friendliness of the owner

Cons: All

Pros: Excellent location; walking distance to everything; beautiful view from the room. Perfect size for our family of three

Cons: Parking was confusing

Pros: We had 9 nights in different places in Sicily, La Casa del Capitano was one of the best, good value for money, superb location, fast and easygoing checkin, spacious room with balcony in very nice old building, finding free parking its not super easy (the street is a staircase where the appartament is) but we manage to find 400m away

Pros: Location is perfect, only around 100m from the main walking street with plenty of restaurants. To the pier is like 10 minutes walking so everything is really close to the "casa".

Cons: Really big but basic room with no option to make a meal - there are no dishes, no glasses etc. In the bathroom there is a curtain which makes you impossible to take a shower without spilling the whole bathroom especially that the shower is really small.

Pros: Beautiful surroundings, very clean and tidy, pleasant staff.

Cons: Very small shower cabin :)

Pros: Location, services

Pros: The location is great for Scopello, Giudaloca and Zingaro

Cons: We would have appreciated a more lit room, as the photos on the website were so lovely and bright. We may have booked a different room than we realised - which was why it was different.

Pros: Very good location, closer to the gorgeous scopello and natural reserve of Zingaro. Super cute igloos surrounded by olive and pine trees and rosemaries. Really liked the outside showers.

Pros: The location is ok, the design of the place interesting.

Cons: The service was more focused on the phone than on us. The doors of the bungalow were impossible to close (badly designed construction of the building). There was no sufficient amount of place to park the car in a safe way.

Pros: Rented apartments with 2 bedrooms. Good place, fantastic views nearby.

Cons: It’s uncomfortable to sleep on the wax-cloth sheet on the bed, at the same time warm and cold and noisy. Really recommend to change it.

Pros: The place eas very clean and very close to the beach! Staff was friendly.

Pros: Quiet, pleasant place and very helpful staff

Cons: There was a constant smell of sewage in the air, both in and outside the bungalow. Nothing unbearable, but quite in contrast with the beautiful nature surrounding the area. The road that leads to the beach is definitely not safe for pedestrians as cars drive fast and carelessly - better get to the beach by car if you can.

Pros: Rural stting

Cons: Difficult to find even with the local police giving us an escort!

Pros: Friendly staff, nice room, good breakfast.

Pros: View

Cons: Shower in bad condition. No Internet in my room.

Pros: Very good breakfast!

Pros: Hospitality and friendship of the team

Pros: This property is in an excellent location, provided that one has a car as it is 2 km away from the centre and in the rural part of Castellamare del Golfo. Nevertheless, one can reach the centre in just a few minutes' drive. Staff was very helpful, and the views from the room were breath taking. Breakfast was excellent and abundant with a variety of juices, processed meats, bread, home made cakes and fruit.

Cons: The only thing that bothered us was that warm water took long to arrive in the shower. The first person to take a shower either had to withstand the cold water or waste a lot of water until it got warmer. We were somehow lucky since the weather was very warm, too warm at times, so the cold water helped to cool down after a day out.

Pros: The food was ok, in time, tasty and in enough quantity for every guest, The room and the bathroom were rather small but the accomodation was good for a short holiday. The distans to the seaside is short, 3-5 minutes.

Cons: A car is a must and there is no possibility to walk in neighborhood.

Pros: A beautiful courtyard for dining. The pool was large and comfortably surrounded with plenty of seating. We enjoyed a wine tasting and bought wine to be delivered home. The staff were all attentive and friendly. The restaurant was not cheap but the food was excellent so well worth it. We had a view over the pool to the sea and could see the island, Mozia. We very much enjoyed our stay and could drive easily to several interesting places during the day but were also pleased to get back to spend time in the pool. There were two weddings while we were there, but they had their own accommodation so it did not cause us any disruption, but just added to the atmosphere.

Cons: The property was lovely. The surroundings were nothing special although the driving was easier than in a more crowded area. The hotel is on a small hill in a fairly flat area and the local interest was in the salt pans and islands at the coast.
