5/10 (134 reviews)

Just back from an amazing 4 days in stunning Favignana staying here at the Villagio Approdo di Ulisse. We loved staying in this hotel as it was a bit more remote and had the added bonus of a private beach and pool area. Stunning location, and a bit of old world charm. The staff were not use to English speaking tourists but went out of their way to help us. Easy taxi ride into the centre where there is a large number of restaurants to choose from. Great family resort highly recommend for those looking for somthing a bit different and particularly family friendly.

8.8/10 Excellent! (95 reviews)

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.

I would say it was ok for one night. For the price it was a bit expensive. Can’t say I would go back.
