Excellent service. Great location overlooking the sea.
Our room was extremely clean and large by hotel standards. The staff was helpful with our luggage and assisted us with getting it into the elevator. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean.
We thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding village and being able to park in front of the hotel was a real plus. Right in front of the hotel there was a large park with lots of families playing there. Everyone was very friendly. We would recommend this hotel to other travelers.
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean and a private patio. My friend and I ate at the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in Sicily. Especially the fact that they catered to our vegan and vegetarian dietary restrictions. I would definitely recommend this place.
I just returned from three weeks in Sicily, having spent the first five days at Borgo di Ciaula. The location is great for exploring Santa Flavia and Sant'Elia.
The staff is very welcoming, friendly and professional. They took care of me as though I were a member of their family.
Grazie mille to Carlo, Daniella, Giulia, Santino and Luciana! Thank you for making my stay so enjoyable and memorable.

The property was nice and the staff were great. From Carlo to Leandro to Santino, etc. The food at the La Strummela restaurant in the hotel was excellent- highly recommend. Food and wine selection was diverse. However, there’s no elevator and unbeknownst, we were on the 4th floor. Staff eagerly helped with luggage. The immediate outside though is dirty and smelled of pee. Cute little beaches west of hotel and some water activities. Beachfront promenade was closed due to construction. We hope to visit again once all that is cleaned up.

Overall the decor and vibe of this place are nice. The service is pretty good as well. My main complaints about this place is that we booked the romantic suite which is not accessible by elevator (which wasn’t specified in the ad) and that they could not make the ac function properly (it wasn’t crazy hot, but slightly uncomfortable). The location is kind of remote, and I can appreciate if some travelers would want that. The town is really hilly and hard to get around by foot. Luckily parking is available. If you’re looking for convenience, this place isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a remote relaxing experience, this is a decent choice.
I loved this little gem. I went there on my honeymoon after getting married in Bagheria, and it was the perfect seaside retreat. We hosted a lunch in the restaurant following the wedding and the staff were exceptional. The hotel room was simple but very charming. We stayed in the romantic room which had the most beautiful sea view patio and terrace. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very nice, and included savoury options like eggs and meats and cheese which can be hard to find in sicily. Truly value for money (it cost less than our one room airbnb in bagheria) would reccomend to anyone who wants a boutique hotel experience near Palermo without the touristic noise. Location was also excellent and we would atroll less than five minutes to the little beach in santa nicolicchia
What a quaint little hotel on the edge of the beauty that is the beach town of Santa Flavia. We stayed in the top suite of the building and enjoyed the amazing private terrace and spectacular rooftop panoramic views of the surrounding sea and mountains. Incredible.
The restaurant was something to behold, with their 5-course menus that will absolutely leave you enthralled (and full).
A must see/stay!!
I cannot say enough about this marvelous boutique hotel. It was very intimate in that you get to really know all the employees and it makes it very personal. They were beyond gracious and kind and attentive even to the smallest of details. I look forward to visiting them again one day
The location was perfect for where I was meeting friends in Santa E'lia. Great balcony view with a wonderful continental breakfast every morning. The staff was awesome and accommodated my request for a private company transfer to the airport early one morning. Unfortunately, I did not dine at the restaurant for dinner as I was out most of the day, but it smelled amazing!! Next time. I will definitely stay at Borgo di Ciaula again when visiting Palermo. Only a short 15 min walk from the train station.
Loved the seaside town and hotel. The hotel does have an elevator that goes to the second floor -but- our rooms were on the third floor and the narrow and steep staircase was very difficult for us (70 & 80 yrs) to carry our luggage. Everything else was great! Probably need a better warning for the rooms above the second floor.
The staff seemed a bit rude. Upon checkout, the elevators were occupied with kitchen equipment (we kept trying them but to no avail), which meant we had to lug heavy luggage down narrow, steep stairs. The breakfast was average.
Très bel petit hôtel dans un superbe village en bord de mer. La chambre est spacieuse avec vue sur la mer. Le personnel est très accueillant et serviable. Le petit déjeuner est pas un buffet énorme mais suffisamment bien fourni, et le café excellent.
El hotel indica 4 estrellas, pero no es asi. Reservamos una habitación con terraza y vista al mar, la habitación estaba en un 4º piso, al que se llegaba por ascensor hasta el 2º, y de ahi, por las escaleras dos pisos más, subiendo por una "torre", en la que estaba únicamente nuestra habitación y otra en el 3º piso. La vista al mar, era lateral y no frontal, y la terraza estaba sucia, con olor a la chimenea del restaurante, que daba directamente ahí. La limpieza dejaba mucho que desear, o al menos, parecía que por aquella habitación no había pasado ningún huésped en semanas. La tv no funcionaba, y tampoco se conectaba a wifi. El baño anticuado y con manchas en ducha y espejo. El secador no tenía fuerza. Se veían las instalaciones en general bastante descuidadas. El hotel podría ser un 2*, pero desde luego no un 4*.
Luogo incantevole, echi letterari e cucina gourmet
Una sorpresa piacevolissima, un boutique hotel incastonato in un borgo di pescatori, con un ristorante eccellente ed un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Luogo incantevole con echi letterari, curato nei dettagli e gestito con amore dalla coppia di proprietari.
Gentilissimo il personale,
Spero di ritornare a trovarli
