We stayed in Baglio Oneto in Oct 2011 as part of a 2 week trip to Sicily, driving around the island, staying in a total of 3 hotels. It was the shortest stay of all our hotels – only 2 nights. The hotel is around 15 mins drive from Marsala, the nearest town. It is a large hotel and very efficiently run because of this. The rooms are a fair size and comfortable. The balconies seemed to vary depending on which side of the building you were in – lower balconies at the back of the hotel (of which we had) were a large size but didn’t get a lot of sun and overlooked trees/shrubbery. Upper balconies were smaller. A room at the front of the hotel would guarantee a pool view over the countryside to the sea. The pool area seemed fine, also with views over the countryside to the sea. Admittedly, we didn’t get a chance to use the pool during our visit. If I was being picky, I would mention that the walls are quite thin and that corridor noise reverberates and can be noisy in the evenings/early mornings when guests walk through.
We arrived late in the evening when an event seemed to be on, so parking for hotel guests was limited – however, this didn’t seem to be a problem for the remainder of the stay (and there is a large carpark for buses/restaurant guests at the front of the hotel). On arrival the staff were very helpful and friendly and clearly used to communicating to their English/American guests. At short notice we were found a table at their in-house restaurant (sitting in the lounge area, rather than the main restaurant). If you appreciate a good selection of wines then this restaurant is a must. Portions aren’t the huge size of local restaurants but are enough and very good. The main maitre d’ (a young man) stood out for his good customer service; was clearing running the place well, had a nice rapport with guests, and was extremely ‘clued-up’ on the wine (there is a winery at the hotel). When our restaurant choice in Marsala was closed on the second night we were more than happy to head back to the in-house restaurant again. It also happened to be the night we celebrated our engagement and we weren’t disappointed.
Baglio meaning ‘courtyard’; there was a lovely courtyard at the heart of the hotel. Breakfast could be had here, or in the restaurant. Breakfast is a well represented spread of staple constituents; a good selection of fruit and, rather than your usual slices of cheese, at least 2 blocks of fresh cheese.
All in all, it is a convenient and perfectly lovely hotel to spend a few nights and see the Marsala/Trapani/Erice/Segesta areas of Sicily. It is a strong choice for ease of overall comfort.
