Hotel Villamare

We spent three nights here at the beginning of our Sicilian holiday, wanting nothing more than to flop on the beach and chill out for a couple of days before heading off to Siracusa. The Hotel Villa Mare was perfect for this; it's practically on the beach. The hotel is scrupulously clean and the rooms are well-appointed, air-conditioned and decorated in a quirky style that sets Villa Mare apart from faceless chain hotels. There's a lovely garden with swimming pool and a bar that's open till eleven. There are a couple of good restaurants - seafood/pizza - close by, but you'd probably have to drive a bit for more choice. The hotel is set back from the road, so it's very quiet at night. Above all, the staff - I should mention Alessandra, Pietro and Stefania - were absolutely charming, helpful and fun, speaking perfect English and ensuring our stay was a memorable one. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Super location for a beach vacation. Really nice garden and super breakfast. Bed is firm and comfortable but room's sound isolation is very poor. To put it all together - it's cozy with friendly staff, but the building itself and rooms are actually rather a 3 star hotel.

They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. It's a great hotel de relax, the beach a close and amazing, the pool area calm and clean. The saff was just amazing I couldn't thank them enough for the stay they provided. The breakfast buffet was delicious also. I greatly recommended this hotel.

A lovely small hotel, we were upgraded on arrival, balcony and sea view. Set in a lush tropical garden with a pool. Breakfasts were very good but if you were spending time at the pool getting drinks was not something that happened easily. Although we were there mid May, there was only one restaurant open in the town and unfortunately the hotel did not do food.

We stayed here it was our first time in Sicily and we had the best time! The breakfast at the hotel was SOOO amazing, delicious croissants, jams, spreads, all kinds of sweet to savory options. The best cheese and meat options and we would do a yummy expresso or cappuccino! The walk to the beach is so short and the hotel is in the perfect location for day trips, we didn’t rent a car as Americans and used taxi, it will be expensive to use a taxi we recommend using a car in Sicily. Such amazing location for traveling Sicily, thank you to the amazing staff Pietro and Seby for helping us organize day trips and taxi rides during our stay! Everyone who works here is so great, Helpful and friendly! We would definitely stay here again, the property is beautiful as well and there’s a sweet pool and lounge area! Rooms are so clean and spotless, outstanding stay! Thanks again from Tanya and Kev :)

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel, we needed some quiet and relaxation so perfect for us, everything well thought out to meet your every need and very clean, amazing choice at breakfast with hot and cold options, the staff were wonderful, so helpful and friendly we felt right at home. The resort was very quiet with very few restaurants and bars but we were out of season, if the hotel restaurant had been open we would have eaten there but we would definitely return again when travelling through Sicily.

Very comfortable hotel with friendly and efficient staff. Was given free upgrade for seaview room. Great breakfast whose area doubled up as bar in evening with snacks. 5 minutes walk to beach. Hotel organised us recliners/parasol for paid part of Lido beach. Free excellent WiFi and parking for car.
