Il Castello di Chiaramonte

A beautiful historic hotel. We had a suite with an amazing view. This area is off the beaten track. A gorgeous area to base yourself. Gorgeous beaches around area and on your way to San Vito lo Capo. Must see: salt pans in Marsala and Trapani, Trapani salt museum, SAN Vito lo Capo and some of the beaches on the way. Maybe if time some of the belvederes and grottos around as well. Only issue with hotel: this area is not very geared to tourism (good and bad) so no food available during siesta time. Restaurants open at 7:30 pm. We like to eat earlier (Canadian). Hotel does not offer laundry service or have little shops. We were off peak time, so maybe more open during summer. Overall it was an amazing place, highly recommend, just be aware of limited food/shopping options.

Our stay at Villa Diana was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Dario made us feel incredibly welcome and cared for. The property itself feels like stepping into a beautiful Victorian home — elegant, charming, and full of character in every detail. One of the absolute highlights was the breakfast. In the morning we were served a gorgeous banquet of homemade food, all prepared with such care and top quality ingredients. The presentation, dishes, and decoration were simply stunning and made the experience feel luxurious and special. We also loved the adorable animals around the property, which added even more warmth and charm to the atmosphere. Dario went above and beyond during our stay, even making a restaurant reservation for us with an incredible view of the Valley of the Temples. If you are looking for a unique, elegant, and authentic Sicilian experience with exceptional hospitality, Villa Diana is truly a gem. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Cristina
