Top Hotels Near Portobello - Le Gallerie del Risparmio in Carini from AU$95

"Such a cool hotel with a pool. Small area but so nice. "

"Great place to stay for our last night in sicily. Close to the airport train and airport and with the village of Carini walkable to explore. The host was super helpful meeting us and letting us store our bags for the day. Would stay there again"

"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 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 had a great time in this villa - which was spacious and clean and had a lovely pool set in beautiful, tropical gardens. The beds and pillows were really comfortable, which makes all the difference.Francesco - who looks after the property - was super helpful and was able give us plenty of restaurant tips as well as advice on navigating Palermo.The villa is set on the outskirts of Carini, and it's close to the main road to get along the coast to the main sights. I'd say it's about half an hour to get into Palermo by car and an hour and a quarter from Cefalu'. It's an easy drive to Segesta.The local seafront close to the properly is fine for a morning run but not for swimming. For that you need to go Capaci, the next town towards Palermo. There the beach is fantastic and you can swim with the mountains in the background.We highly recommend this villa."

"We would like to thank Gaetano and Mary for helping to make our first trip to Sicily so memorable. Gaetano was always on hand if needed . He even showed us around the local town on our first afternoon to show us the best restaurants and the beach. The welcome pack was more than welcome and they even told us where to buy the amazing Sicilian cakes. The villa it's self was perfect with a lovely pool. Even though it was near a mall town it was a very peaceful spot when lazing round the pool. I would fully recommend a stay at their villa. Thanks again Gaetano and Mary"

"The first room we checked was old and stuffy, but we asked if they had a better room. He showed us a flat with a balcony and we had the floor to ourselves with added cost. The deck on the roof had an amazing view of the wharf. There were plenty of options for dining just outside the building. "

"Close to the airport"
