Cave Bianche Hotel

I first stayed at Hotel Cave Bianche over a decade ago and fell in love with its unique charm and character. Returning recently, I was pleased to find that the hotel’s essential appeal remains - there’s still something magical about this place that captures the spirit of Favignana. However, time has taken its toll on the property. While the bones of the hotel are still beautiful, signs of aging are evident throughout. Most notably, the sun beds by the swimming pool look quite cheap and detract from what should be a relaxing poolside experience. Simple maintenance updates would make a world of difference. The staff experience was notably mixed during our stay. The bar and breakfast teams were genuinely lovely - warm, welcoming, and attentive to our needs. Unfortunately, the reception staff, while certainly professional and competent, lacked the warmth that would elevate the guest experience. Given the current room rates, the price-quality ratio feels unbalanced. This hotel has so much potential, and with some thoughtful attention to maintenance and staff training, it could easily return to its former glory. Improvements are becoming necessary to justify the premium pricing.

We are very grateful to the owner of the hotel, Maria Elena. She offered us free accommodation and helped us when the boat refused to take us back to Trapani and we had nowhere to go. She has a very kind heart. The hotel is absolutely magical. The staff was very kind and helpful. We thank Maria Elena and her husband for their hospitality. God bless them.

Not usually a reviewer , but I feel like I could probably help someone out of they are on the fence with the pros and cons. |Pros- The hotel is pretty stunning when you look down from above. The rooms are very clean and streamlined. The wifi was terrific for those that still have to do a little work. The pool is clean. There are scooter and bike rentals at the hotel which is useful. There is a woman named Julia who works the front desk who is an angel. She helped us plan boat tours and rentals, as well as recommendations. She really took her time with us and I truly think she made our vacation memorable. They are lucky to have her. The guy who helped us with our mopeds was also super kind and helpful. ||Cons-As far as the other staff I cant say the same. They were not very warm or welcoming. In fact they seemed annoyed that we were even there. The kitchen seemed to always be closed or only serving 1/4 of the menu. They charge you 5 euros to use the beach towels which is a first for me. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. They felt like prison cots, although I've never been to prison ha. I woke up every morning so stiff and could barely sleep. The pillows were the same. The pool closes at 7 which is a bummer if you have kids. The restaurant is subpar. Also the moped rentals are party pricey especially since you can get them in town for half the price. ||I think next time I would stay at the resort down the street that has an ocean view. It gets even hotter down in the quarry with no ocean breeze.

This is the second time we have stayed at this refuge and we hope to return again. Special thanks to Yulia who greeted us upon arrival with captivating professionalism and invaluable information. The rest of the staff were also always attentive. We had a room with a balcony, which was peaceful and quiet. A place not to be missed for anyone visiting Favignana.

I came for work, the rooms were very nice and clean, the staff was super friendly and helpful, but the were some aspects of the service that made it feel like a 2 star hotel, and I am more accustomed to less fancy hotels so I was expecting a little more, the breakfast was subpar and would recommend going into town, and dinner was delicious but very slow and quite small portions, which I think is fine but for me who got in late and just wanted to eat and go to bed so was just a bad match, if you like to take your time and aren’t super hungry then I would say it perfect for you. Again the staff were super friendly and helpful the entirety of my stay.

Enchanting and beautiful hotel with nice clean rooms, a fantastic restaurant and cocktail bar! Excellent breakfast with a huge selection. Amazing and welcoming staff. Very well maintained scooters.

The hotel is built in ex excavation site. I was not captured by the concept. Apart from this the personnel and the atmosphere is very cold. Asking for something at the reception is like pulling a tooth and everything comes at a fee. The breakfast is really standard. While is a clean and decent hotel I don't see and special reason for going. Forget about a view by the way, I think the marketing material is rather misleading

Do not be fooled by the beauty of this venue inside you will truly see how evil it is. They offer free bike service which seems amazing. However the bikes are all broken. I went on a bike ride with my family and I nearly got hit by a car because of the horrible bikes, another bonus two bathrooms in the room however whenever I try to shower in one of them it always ends up flooding causing me to have to use all of my towels to block it. Don’t come here.
