Santa Maria del Focallo hotels

Pros: The super warm welcome from Francesca and her family at Blanco’s home and Glamping continued throughout our visit, and their genuine generosity made this a holiday one to remember. We stayed in the Superior tent, the facilities were excellent, and ultra clean. The space was tranquil but still a working farm supplying organic fresh veggies, the breakfast buffet was plentiful which varied each day, included traditional fresh baked cookies and cakes(still hot!). There was a local beach 2 km down the road, and enough other beaches and places to visit within an hours drive or less. To conclude if you like an outdoors experience and have camped or caravanned you will love this experience here at Blanco’s.

Cons: We did not like the fact we had to leave...

Pros: Rooms are clean and new. Also our host was helpful and nice. When arriving, you have the feeling it is in the middle of nowhere, but the whole resort was very nice. To the beach it is 2-3 kilometers, but if you want to do something in the evening, you have to go by car to the nearest city

Cons: Even we enjoyed the home made cakes for a breakfast, we would prefer more variety (e.g. there was nothing salty, only sweet dishes and fruits)

Pros: The place is very nice ad is set in a very quiet location. Very good for relaxation outside the daily routine. The family is very friendly and welcoming.

Cons: The location needs some signage as it is a bit difficult to find. Unfortunately, during our stay, it was very hot and found it a bit difficult to sleep as the facility has no a/c. I strongly recommend to have one installed. Otherwise is very good.

Pros: It was a great location for a family location. Daniele was really helpful and waited for us when we arrived and allowed us to have a late check out as it was raining and the room was available. The place is nice and has a somewhat contemporary Sicillian feeling about it.

Cons: It was slightly humid inside when we arrived, but it went away with an open window.

Pros: Very new apartment, although it’s kitchen is a bit low-price. The sandy beach is just accross the street. Common terrace is great to enjoy an evening drink.

Pros: I liked the rear garden where we were able to eat in company in privacy. I liked the outside shower where we could have showers to rinse off the salt and sand after going to the beach. I liked how the owner was particularly available and elastic in his way of doing, he even let us stay until 3:00 pm to let us enjoy a last morning at the beach, eat lunch and take our time to pack our things. To make a long story short, they are friendly, available and elastic.

Cons: The things that I didn't like were very few and minor things. The cell reception is poor, and doesn't always work.. but they have a wifi connection to compensate which isn't fast, but it works.

Pros: modern and clean finish

Cons: no parking on site

Pros: Room is within a shortime walk to the beach

Cons: credit card not accepted for payment

Pros: Friendly staff. Daniele was helpful and very nice.

Pros: Modern Appartment close to a very lovely beach. Perfect if you are looking for a quiet time but still close enough to visit attrations if you havea car. Daniele, the manager of the complex, is a very nice person!

Cons: Like many houses so close to the sea it has some problems with humidity, leading to mould.

Pros: Awesome family that runs this place, very friendly people! Apartment is very clean, there is great swimming pool, perfect for families with children. Quiet and nice place with sandy beach just few meters away. Shop with some basic stuff just 5mins walking away, restaurants and supermarkets 10mins drive in Pozallo. Overall awesome place!

Cons: I would suggest providing basic kitchen supplies like dish sponge, dishwasher cleaner, maybe salt and sugar. Nothing expensive and it would help a lot after arrival to the place. Bring it with you.

Pros: The apartment was incredibly big : 2 rooms with double bed, and in one of the room there was bunk beds. It is well maintained, and on our arrival it was nice and clean. There was a very large balcony with table and deck chairs. The kitchen is rather well equipped with gas burners. The bathroom is spacious, and we never had problems with the hot water. The air conditioning was available in both rooms, and was working very well. The swimming pool was very nice. There is one reserved parking space for the apartment, and the parking is locked. The staff was very friendly and available, and gave us some good advice on restaurant in the vicinity. The beach is fabulous and very close, with deck chairs, a kite/windsurf school, and a rather nice beach restaurant with good cocktails. There is a small restaurant/bakery close by, but otherwise, you need the car for shopping or good out in the evening.

Cons: No hot water for doing the dishes. State of the available pans could be improved, the rest of the kitchenware was good and in good supply too. There was nothing to hang towels on the balcony except chairs. There was however one on the front porch, but it only got sun in the evening. There is nothing to sort out the trash for recycling (not even glass), and even when going to the next town over we did not find where we could recycle things. Also, you have to take out the trash to a container in the street which seems to be always full. The shower is very small, a shame when the bathroom itself is so big. The flush of the toilet is very noisy. There is only emergency article provided (toilette paper, soap), the rest you have to buy yourself. The beds are very very hard, and you can feel the springs. The town is far, and there is not much shopping to be done.

Pros: Fantastic apartment! Wonderful location with only a minute’s walk to the beach. Very clean and nice pool area. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even let us stay longer on our departure day since we had a late flight.

Pros: Great property and location, delightful owners

Pros: Very friendly hosts!

Pros: Great place to be for a family who wants to be at Ispica beach and the south east coast.

Pros: Second time we have stayed in this beautiful place and will be returning next year. If you want peaceful, relaxing holiday this is the place for you. Owners are lovely and will take good care of you. Beach is fantastic either for sunbathing or running/ gently walking. Place to relax!

Pros: The property is very safe.parking and appartments are closed with an Automatik door. A long and clean beach opposite the street. You have to walk the street for 350m dein the Road if the gate to the beach is closed. Spacy ,, well equipped appartment.

Cons: The beds really need new matraces! A water cooler was missing.

Pros: Large teracce

Cons: Small bedroom. Probably more suitable for families with childrens.

Pros: Le Dune residence is located in a beautiful place. Long sandy beach...looks stunning. However, there is side effect as well - strong winds (that's why there are Dunes). The garden looks pretty, well maintained. Hosts are lovely, friendly and positive persons, many thanks to them! The apartment itself is quite ok, but I would say it needs some renovation. All doors were noisy (creaking all the time), bed is uncomfortable (i felt all springs) and noisy. The bathroom contains extremely loud toilet, old plumbing. But when you see the environment and beach and sea you forget about everything.

Pros: Quiet, EXCELLENT dinner, airy, flat beach and sea, friendly service, cleanliness,

Cons: Difficult to park, smelly bathroom, uncomfortable simple but clean beds

Pros: Nearby beach, friendly staff

Cons: Rooms could use some local repairs

Pros: We loved everything about this place. Everyone that worked there was so kind and helpful! The airline lost my luggage and the staff here went above and beyond to help me. The dinners they serve are exceptional (Alessandro is an amazing chef!) Beach was great for swimming and paddleboarding. I will stay here again.

Pros: Great staff, very friendly and accommodating.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff and management.

Cons: Only the living room had air conditioning. Bed rooms without air conditioning.

Pros: We all loved it.The apartment was spacious for two couples, a 13 year old and grandmother. Two bathrooms useful. Air conditioning in sitting room essential. All clean and bright. Lovely views to the sea. Ideal that we walked through the exotic garden to the private blue flag beach. Loved the four poster sunbed, beach price included. Everyone so friendly especially English speaking Gasperi, who kindly drove us to a supermarket about ten miles away. He also coached sea boarding which was a great success. The owner Salvo kindly gave us a complimentary bottle of local organic wine. Massage available too. A nice restaurant at the far end of the beach. A pizzeria 15 mins walk away. Discovered mobile shops stopped by. Amazing starlit sky.

Cons: Non of this spoiled our stay. The lovely development is the only place there, no village. Would have been ideal if the first floor apartment had an outside terrace. Furnishings rather dated. The restaurant quite expensive with one choice. Nearest shop (not well stocked) 20 mins walk. Probably best to hire a car. The kitchen was rather erratically stocked. We had to ask for wine glasses and cutlery. Odd pans, no small frying pan but one enormous frying pan with an 18 " handle (too big for the stove) one gas burner did not work. No chopping knife. Having to ask for toilet paper every other day. Only one light worked in the kitchen. Having to pay for sheets and towels( Knew this in advance) Kareoke fun but prefer if it stopped earlier before midnight. (Salvo very apologetic about lights etc, not aware as cleaners not noticed) Make sure to have plenty of cash as card machine did not accept all cards.
