spiaggia Balestrate

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.

Great location, was a little concern about bedding, noise, and overall quality of room based on feedback but was pleasantly surprised with hotel. It is an old hotel, so something aren’t going to be perfect given the age but the location was perfect if you wanted to be close to major sites and restaurants.

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.
