My Wife & I stayed here for a week's Half Board with Flights booked via 'Love Holidays' UK from 04/09/2024. You're staying in a superbly realised and run AgriTourisimo with 20+ rooms in a very remote and rural location. Unless you plan on a retreat a hire car is an absolute must allied to confidence behind the wheel, as anything requires a road trip, sometimes on challenging rural roads. The Hotel is seamlessly run by well trained and professional staff. The 4 course evening meal with 1 litre of local Red wine & bottled water is curated nightly by a highly capable Head Chef & team, front & rear of house. You'll sit at a different table nightly, wait to be shown to your table by the waiter. Other guests included local Sicilians, Americans, Germans and English. All guests were experienced travellers and good company where conversation was possible. Before and after Dinner a bar would have been most welcome. Rooms were functional with aircon included, vital as day & night hot & humid. The bed a tad firm for our taste, a mirror in the room would have been welcome. My Wife particularly enjoyed the complimentary 2 hour cookery class. To close, a fantastic experience but one reliant upon a broad gastronomic palate and self starting confidence to experience what the region has to offer. Bear in mind the North or South Coast is well over an hours drive away. Our thanks to the Team for a job well done.

We visited Abbazia Santa Anastasia after finding it online and reading some of their reviews. It is an impressive abbey tucked away in the hills and winery in the Castel Buono with wonderful vistas. The hotel, the room, the pool and surrounding walking areas are very impressive and worth visiting for a unique Sicilian experience and, of course, taste of some local wine. While I agree with some of the prior reviews, the staffs attentiveness to guests may have been spotty in some instances, when I addressed the issue, it was quickly corrected and more than made up for by their subsequent efforts. I would highly recommend visiting this hotel winery and trying it out. If any issues arise, they should be addressed at the hotel and I believe the experience would be definitely worthwhile.

The hotel has an excellent location, adjacent to the famous Sijiaochang, in the most prosperous street in the city center, close to the railway station, airport buses, and main attractions. Within 15 minutes’ walk, the breakfast is rich, the service is very good, and the hotel has a courtyard. The room we stayed in, the bathroom is also big, it is the best choice for traveling to Palermo

I had a tough time giving InCanto an average rating, because it was definitely not average. The good qualities were really great, but the bad qualities were really bad. First the good - The room was large & comfortable, located right in the middle of everything, a few steps away from the famous Four Corners. I loved the breakfast every day delivered right to our room. Lots of great places to eat and drink, and sights to see, just a short walk in every direction. Now the bad - InCanto is difficult to find, since the main entrance, the one with a sign, is inside a private building up on the 2nd floor (or 3rd floor for Americans.) There is no signage on the main streets, and only a tiny sign once you find the otherwise generic door located down an alley. I asked many locals for directions when I was only 1 -2 blocks away, and nobody had ever heard of it. The Four Corners is very close, and very LOUD. Live music starts early in the morning and continues until late at night. Well after midnight, after the music stops, people walk through the streets shouting & kicking beer bottles. It's never quiet, and you easily hear all the noise from inside the room with all the doors & windows closed. The front desk is only staffed in the morning, so when we could not find the place in the afternoon to check in, nobody was there to answer the phone. There's no elevator and no help, so be prepared to carry all of your own luggage up two flights of narrow stairs. We had a misunderstanding regarding our bill. It worked out fine in the end, but we couldn't just go to the front desk to fix it, we had to do everything online, so something that would have normally taken two minutes wind up taking half a day. Our room had a nice wood floor, but there were tiny nails sticking up through the floor. We normally don't wear shoes inside, but after having the nails tear our socks and poke the soles of our feet, we had to keep our shoes on. For me, the negatives outweighed the positives, and I would not stay here again or recommend this place to anyone else.

My rating is more 4.5. Centrally located, easy walk to restaurants and major sites. I’m not sure why there are so many negative comments about the staff; honestly, all of our interactions were fantastic. Front desk staff helpful and knew our room number. We interacted with various front desk staffs frequently. It was nice to drop off our adorable 5 lb key at the front desk! . Breakfast was generous and abundant. It is in the most gorgeous dining area I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I indulged in some scrambled eggs and bacon; a welcome addition after days of continental bfasts. I had been sick and took a tray to the room to eat for 3 days, not wanting to get other travelers I’ll. Every morning, lovely Inacia, one of the staff members, efficiently put a tray together for me with a smile. The staff worked hard to restock the food and cups/plates. Barbara was our floor maid and always pleasant, had a smile, and helpful. Our TV’s did not work and each maintenance person was helpful and hilarious. It turns out when you do get the tv on, there’s only bbc! But we are not there to watch tv. The hotel is a former palazzo and it is somewhat of a maze, but that’s part of the Italian adventure. It’s a gorgeous hotel and may not be the most updated, but we found it quiet, comfortable, and unobtrusive. Umbrellas available at the front desk for rainy days. We ate at primi piatti across the street but would have tried the hotel restaurant had we another day and I was not under the weather. Bravo to the Eurostar Team- you made our Palermo trip special!
