“Great hotel with staff who make your stay a real pleasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is a great little hotel in a nice street near all the "action" in San Vito.

We had a great room at the front of the hotel on the 1st floor with a decent size bathroom and a small balcony which was good for hanging out the wet towels etc and standing with a cold refreshment in the early evening to watch the world drift into town. However, not big enough to get a couple of seats on so manage your expectations!!

Room was had plenty of room and was cleaned to perfection every day at a time to suit you. Great "wellness" centre on the 2nd floor which is very chilled and we had a lovely couple of hours on our own enjoying the sauna, steam room and plunge pool sipping herbal tea.

Fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel which will be reviewed in it's own right but needless to say its well worth booking and having a least trying out for one slap up dinner. You will take your breakfast there in the beautiful terraced area out back which has lovely lime trees, spacious tables, nice decoration and modern blues for your morning tuneage. Breakfast itself is a good selection of the usual fare with great cake if you can face the morning and believe me I can. Big shout out to the cafe americano which was just spot on - many thanks.

What really made this place for me was the staff - helpful, friendly people who really seemed to like their job and wanted you to embrace the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Sicily talk to these guys and girls and they will make sure you see the best of San Vito.

Hotel Ghibli, Vito and all the crew - I salute you.

“Gorgeous Food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2009

We were recommended this restaurant in the hotal by a local taxi driver. Ambiance, food and service was very good and their version of couscous with fish was well worth a visit

“Perfect place to do nothing!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2008

person found this review helpful

We wanted a place in the sun where we could just relax, we found the Ghibli on Trip Advisor and after a little research took the trip to north west Sicily. We booked directly with the hotel, no problems.
San Vito is a small, unpretentious but very popular resort, on an isolated peninsular which is reached in under 2 hours from Palermo airport. You need transport here to get around.
The hotel is very well run, has a better than average breakfast in an excellent garden area. On the beach the hotel has its own area with sunbeds and there is stroll og about 300 m between the beach and the hotel. In the evening they have a spa centre on the top floor/roof, which we found very relaxing.
Our bedroom on the 2nd floor was smallish, the terrace on the contrary was enormous and the bathroom OK.
We didn' t eat at the hotels restuarant, we prefer to move around and there were several good restuarants with fish on the menu nearby.

  • Liked — Location, amenities, well run establishment.

“A Real Find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2007
6
people found this review helpful

This is an excellent 3* hotel in the small but busy seaside resort of San Vito on an amazing long sandy beach on the NW tip of Sicily. I discovered it through a Sunday paper review of hotels with great beaches. The website is Italian but i was able to book it directly via email in English. It is a small family run hotel, spotlessly clean with AC and tastefully decorated. Beautiful old photographs of San Vito hang on the walls and a shadey courtyard behind serves as a breakfast area and evening restaurant. The food was excellent -better than 3*- Italian with North African influences - recommend the fish Couscous Ghibli -certainly best to book in the evening as open and popular with non-residents. The staff are v friendly and helpful with mostly very good English. It is very family friendly - children are adored! It is less than 5mins to both the beach and the town itself but the street was very quiet. No traffic is allowed in the centre and there is a good range of eating places to serve all tastes and price ranges. Whilst the beach was busy it was surprisingly quiet - mostly Italian and Sicilian families enjoying a traditional seaside holiday. There are a few pedaloes for hire, boat trips from the harbour, 'family' bicycles, fruit stalls, a patisserie and gelatario with ice cream to die for. As a couple we loved every minute there but would have happily taken our children there in the past. There is also plenty to do in the surrounding area in this largely undiscovered part of Sicily and Palermo airport is only just over an hour away. Go before it gets spoilt! MP, Winchester, UK
