Dimora Cala del Pozzo

Wow... I'll be dreaming about our stay here for a long time. The whole property, from the rooms to the grounds, are just stunningly beautiful. We stayed in Poseidonia and the view of the ocean was so serene and breathtaking. Alice truly goes above and beyond to make you feel at home here. By far our favorite stay of our honeymoon and we can't wait to come back!

One of our favorite hotels during our recent trip to Sicily. We stayed in room 3 and it was incredible. We enjoyed the proximity and views of the beach and thought the hotel was well kept for. We especially enjoyed Alesia, who was very helpful with booking a sailing ride and dinner recommendations. She was such a joy and made our stay very memorable. Also make sure to eat at the restaurant! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful architecture and stunning views. Walking distance through the amazing cacti gardens from a really cool and tasteful cocktail bar right next to the beach. Alice and her (exclusively?) female team do a great job in managing the place and they all speak excellent English. And yes, there is no one at reception during the night (as some scared lady mentioned in her review) but why should there be anybody ?It is an agritourismo-boutique hotel. And yes, the place is vegetarian and generally environmentally conscious in a reasonable way. Alice has provided fantastic restaurant recommendations (incl places that serve fish and meat). If someone complains about vegetarian breakfast and that they get lost in the large garden, they should better stay at Hilton Millennium or so next time … The Dimora location is 300 m from the water and 10 min by e-bike from the next restaurant. 20 minutes to Favignana Center.

Great experience. Property is stunning from an architecture and design standpoint. Meticulously cleaned rooms. Staff (incl Alice and Barbara) were very friendly, helpful and responsive. Tasty breakfast including cooked eggs, pastries, breads, fruits etc all locally sourced including from their farm. A short walk to their restaurant, Cibo, as well as the ocean. And FYI to the post about water charges to the room, there is a free filtered water fountain in the common area, so you don’t need to worry about buying and lugging a pack of water bottles to the property (or paying for water at all).

The hotel is located on the outskirts, close to the sea. It’s a little scary in the evening on the hotel grounds because after about 9-10 pm there is no one at the reception and the area is not lit. We got lost several times in the dense vegetation of the area. We slept with the shutters closed and it made us feel stuffy. There were large numbers of huge black beetles climbing on the terrace of our room, which was a bit unpleasant. For breakfast there is absolutely no meat, no vegetables, no cottage cheese, but there are a lot of cakes that were too sweet for my taste, and fruits from the supermarket. There is a charge for water in the room. On request they make scrambled eggs, which were absolutely tasteless, or boiled eggs. As a plus, you can make free tea bags in the evening. I would give one star for breakfast, since in Italy there should be no restrictions on food. It's too cheap. The room was perfectly cleaned. Towels were changed every day, no complaints about cleanliness. Robes are not provided in the room. To get to center you need a car. Hotel is very quite, in the middle of nature.

This place is absolutely stunning! We had an amazing time here. Francesca and Alice went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. On our last day, there was bad weather and Alice warned us the ferry might not run. She was able to arrange an early pick up, change ferry tickets and book us a room at a sister hotel in Trapani. We didn’t have to stress at all because she took care of everything for us. The grounds and views are stunning and there are so many common spaces to relax in. Hope to return soon!

One of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had! The property is gorgeous, the food is fantastic, and the staff are incredibly kind. Alice in particular is wonderful — she went above and beyond to help us out. The rooms are private and secluded, but there are also beautiful common spaces. The hotel serves breakfast and dinner — the best breakfast I had during my stay in Sicily. You can also go to the restaurant down the hill (same owners) for lunch and tramonte (sunset), which has excellent food and a super fun vibe. I can’t recommend Cala del Pozzo enough! We loved it so much that we extended our stay and we’re already planning to come back next year.

This was the absolute highlight of our five week trip in Sicily. We stayed here, and in the sister hotel Dimora dell’Olivastro, both of which were little slices of paradise. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Both hotels are based around the farm - I believe they own something like 50 hectares. They produce their own olive oil, wine, honey, etc. The attached restaurant, right on the ocean, had the best food of our trip. We extended our stay to 3 nights, which was perfect - be sure to make reservations well in advance.
