Scillato Holidays from £304

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.

Our first room was small, window looked onto a brick wall, hair and ants in the bathroom. Stephania at the front desk was responsive and helpful, moving us into a different, clean room. Still, that first room was the impression we left with

Cleaning service was excellent. Parking was also good, but it was off season so there weren’t too many guests. The ambience around the pool was stellar with comfortable canopies beds and places to enjoy the sun. Breakfast was provided by the neighboring restaurant, and the woman who made omelettes could not have been more un-friendly! In fact, “omelette lady” has now become code between my husband and me for a person who is not nice. Our bed was too bouncy, but the room was spacious. We had a flood from the shower into the bedroom, and the staff told us not to worry about it and that it was “normal.” That struck us as strange, but we figured it was an Italian thing.

Spectacular! Beautiful, clean and modern hotel in a gorgeous mountain town. We loved our stay and can’t recommend enough this hotel. The spa is lovely and the rooftop terrace is fabulous. We will be back!

The drinking glasses were dirty most of the time. That was disappointing. The staff were lovely and pleasant. Dinner timings and options were limited. We were signature level and would have expected options for sea view, but those seemed to only be for the main building Food was okay.
