We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
Mozia and the Greek temples were particular highlights, as was Monreale - which is every bit worth the journey! Da Vittoria restaurant was outstanding for fish lovers with a perfect setting and great service.
Scopello was a delight. Torre Benistra was comfortable with an attractive terrace overlooking the sea. La Cialoma restaurant was excellent - Surroundings, quality of food and wine. The Zingharo Nature reserve provided quite a strenuous but fascinating walk. Baglia Donna Franca was extremely isolated, the wine list appalling and the food terrible, we did however visit Erice which was fantastic. Highly recommend Il Vigneto Resort. Lovely place, great staff, swimming pool, nice restaurant, a perfect place to spend a few idyllic days.
We did not walk in the National Park of Zingaro as it was too hot! However we had a great trip round Erice, best reached by bubble lift from eastern part of Trapani due to very windy roads up to it!. The salt pans and windmills were one of the most beautiful parts of the holiday (near Nubia and Mozia)and mustn’t be missed.
Please advise everyone to take special notice about your car hire notes as they are very very helpful.
Baglio Donna Franca was the highlight of our holiday with magnificent views from their terrace and superb swimming pool to the Egadi Island and Mozia!
Advise buying a combination ticket for Agrigento‘s museums and Temples [for Agrigento add-on] as it is valid for 3 days.
Thank you for all your research/ maps/ helpful comments/ suggestions as they were all very helpful indeed.

We very much enjoyed the walk from the south entrance of the Zingaro Nature Reserve - not a soul to be seen up on the higher path and the wildflowers were in bloom everywhere. The following day we braved the switchback road down to the north entrance and spent the morning swimming in the pristine waters of a fabulous little shingly cove.
Segesta was a dramatic sight seemingly in splendid isolation and the island of Mozia is fascinating - so ancient and together with the artefacts in the museum makes for a very worthwhile visit.
It was an enjoyable and interesting experience. Having had Inntravel preselect the hotels meant that we stayed at characterful and tasteful places, which we probably wouldn’t have discovered. Each hotel was very different in style, which was very much appreciated. Also, having three different areas to visit on our schedule made the experience varied and made it feel like the holiday was much longer.
The "Mountains of Siciliy" was excellent. Beautiful views, challenging but do-able hiking. The staff at the Pomieri accommodation was specially welcoming with their warmth and abundance of local history.
Good choice of accommodation, each with its own particular characteristics. Food excellent. Good choice of areas, with interesting features. Useful guidance for routes and walks, with few errors. Maps should have had scales.
We thoroughly enjoyed our two full days in Palermo and managed to visit most of the recommended sights - we took a taxi out to Monreale to see the cathedral which was stunning. Scopello was a real contrast - a tiny village by the sea and close to the Nature Reserve. A good place to relax for a couple of days. We walked in the Nature Reserve and visited San Vito lo Capo and enjoyed lunch on the vast beach.
En route to Florio, we stopped off at Segesta which was well worthwhile although the parking, ticketing and bus arrangements could be better! We thought the area around Florio was a bit "down at heel" but we were happy with our stay at Baglio Donna Franca. From there we visited Erice which was busy but interesting. We took the funicular up to Erice and parked the car at the bottom. (We had a problem with the Parking Attendant on our return and he managed to take 25 Euros from us - it was partly our own fault but it left a bad taste!) Slightly disappointingly, we only spent a short time in Trapani as we were pestered on two or three occasions by men demanding money as we attempted to park the car and ended up parking around by the port. We had a quick look at Nubia and the saltpans and windmills.
En route to Menfi, we stopped to see Selinunte which, again, was something not to be missed. We had a good lunch by the beach at Marinella. Il Vigneto (once we found it!) was an extremely comfortable final base and we enjoyed our time there. We made a day trip to Agrigento to view The Valley of the Temples, another must-see place. We walked the beach at Porto Palo and had dinner twice at "Da Vittorio"
British Airways performed well and our flights in and out of Palermo were on time. The weather was kind to us - a thunderstorm on the evening we arrived and one wet afternoon.....otherwise it was blue skies and sunshine....and it was very warm!
Overall, we were very happy with our trip. Thank you for organising it for us.
A really enjoyable trip to a delightful corner of the island. So much to see in a very small area. In Scopello there is a delightful and buzzy restaurant called Il Baglio. The breakfast terrace at Hotel Torre Benistra has one of the best views we have ever seen.
Enjoy a swim at Tonneri di Scapello and don't miss the tour and wine tasting at Donna Franca. The setting and temples at Segesta and Selinunte are beautiful.
We appreciated the varied history and the archaeological sites, especially Mozia, Segesta, Selinunte, Agrigento and the Roman Villa Casale at Piazza Armerina. Our favourite place was Syracuse, especially Ortygia and the Museo Archeologica Paolo Orsi in the new town.
Out of the baroque towns in the south, we were a bit disappointed in Ragusa, but liked Noto very much, especially as we able to visit Noto during its annual Flower Festival.
Apart from being anarchic drivers, the Sicilians were charming and welcoming. We experienced both excellent and disappointing food.
Just one disagreement with an Inntravel customer's recommendation for eating out in Ortygia: the Al Mazari did not live up to expectations - the staff were off-hand and the food unremarkable.
This customer combined elements of our Baroque Riches of Sicily and Western Sicily's Temple & Coast holidays.
