Top Hotels Near Church of Madre d'Isola delle Femmine in Isola delle Femmine from AU$116

"Our booking was to include a balcony with chairs and a table. The room we were given only had a balcony a foot wide. We were booked in for four nights but they could not move us to a balcony room for two nights . We decided not to move as we would have to pack and unpack again. In compensation, the hotel gave us two nights dinner for free. The receptionist Carla did all she could to help us and has our thanks."

"Very friendly staff, big balcony, nice view "

"Emiliano was very helpful throughout and even organised our transfers to the Villa. The property was amazing and all information was extremely clear and helpful before and during our stay. "

"Great parking, beach views, maybe bring earplugs in case one of the nearby restaurants is having a party. Eye masks are great too because the island light is strong!"

"An incredible Villa and a wonderful host. The villa is huge, as is the pool, the villa is beautiful and has everything you might need. We were given sone great tips on places to visit etc and the ower was very generous in letting us stay at the villa a little longer on our final day as our flight was not until late in the afternoon. We had a wonderful time and would greatly recommend this villa."

"An absolute beautiful small hotel to stay in. Very organised and atmosphere is very charming and relaxing. You can have breakfast by the pool and view the sea with a cool breeze and gentle music playing in the background. Pool is open 9am to 7pm with one hour closure between 1:30-2:30pm Again gentle music playing in the background making very settled and relaxing atmosphere. Bar and lifeguard are in place too. The private beach that is connected to the hotel was so safe and organised. There is a secure entry and reception to it. Non hotel members can use the beach but have to pay a fee. Hotel members can access beach for free but need to pay for umbrella and beds if needed(€15). Beach also provides locked private changing rooms. As well as there is a lifeguard and security in place. There is a small play ground for kids to play in and a Volleyball game in the area for teenagers and older. There is also a good reasonable priced cafeteria at the beach. Beautiful sandy beach one can’t get enough of and is mostly visited by families. The neighbouring private beach Saracen have louder cheerful music and beach activities which adds to the fun. Local train station is Capaci and is about 15 min walk, but train frequency to Palermo central is every hour and takes about 45 minutes or half an hour to plazzo Reale-Orleans, so it is advisable to plan accordingly, otherwise a lot of time can be wasted waiting for the trains and getting to places. I highly recommend this hidden gem"

"Clean, friendly staff, good food, great pool ateas & beach."

"We were a family of two adults and two teenage boys - age 16 and had a great time at Villa Eloise. The pool and pool house area were particularly fantastic, the views from the villa were fabulous. It is such a quiet and tranquil spot with 360 views across the surrounding hillsides but just a 20 min walk from the hustle and bustle of Mondello beach and all the bars and restaurants. Loved it. We used it as a base to explore lots of the surrounding areas and beaches. Louise (who lives below) and her daughter Ella and son Paulo were great hosts. When we had a minor issue with the bathroom basin not draining properly they fixed it on the same day. Would definitely recommend. Am so glad I chose this option rather than one closer to Mondello beach with no pool especially as we only ended up spending a couple of hours at Mondello beach in total as it was really crowded and there are other nice (and much less crowded) beach options nearby if you have a car. "

"We had a lovely week. Guiseppe was so helpful - recommending places to visit and explaining how to get around and park. We loved Sicily and this area particularly- it’s very Sicilian -lively but laid back - and the local cafes and restaurants were very friendly. Do be aware that there are a lot of stairs -which didn’t bother us but might some people. I recommend hiring a car - although the driving is a little challenging (!) - as trips to Scopello, Palermo, Cefalu and Mondello were all highlights. We want to come back to Sicily!"
