Hotel Baglio La Porta

First off, I don’t understand how this is a 3 star hotel. Definitely 4 at the very least. We had such an amazing time here. The staff are all extremely welcoming and kind. The grounds are beautiful, very remote and relaxing. The infinity pool overlooks the entire coast and ocean - we spent all the day jusy lounging by the pool. The food is good, definitely pricey but given the remote location we weren’t that surprised. We came mid September and there were other guests, but it still felt very secluded and private. We stayed in the suite, which was very clean and comfortable with a nice terrace. The room was a bit dark,but it didn’t bother us much as we barely spent any time in the rooms. Many thanks to Conor for such a warm welcome!

We’ve just returned from a fantastic few days at Baglio La Porta – our first visit to Sicily.||The hotel is set in a beautifully restored old building, sympathetically extended with modern facilities. Our room was in one of the newer sections and came with a breathtaking view of the mountains, effective air conditioning, and an excellent rainfall shower.||The standout feature for us was the pool area. It’s honestly the most stunning I’ve ever seen – the setting alone rivals any five-star hotel I’ve visited. The water stayed at a perfect 29 degrees throughout our stay, and the view across the bay was spectacular.||We also want to highlight the staff, who were unfailingly friendly, warm and helpful. On our final morning, they even arranged for us to have breakfast slightly earlier so we could make a smooth departure for the airport – a much-appreciated gesture. Breakfast was excellent too, by the way. There were some additional paid options (fresh omelettes, pancakes or smoothies) but we didn’t think it was necessary as the included options were extensive.||The location is around a 12-minute drive from the main free car park in San Vito Lo Capo. The first journey up the winding mountain road feels a little hair-raising, but it’s absolutely worth it for the peace, views and sense of escape you get at the hotel.||If we had any minor criticisms, they’d be that parking can feel a little tight at times, though we always found a space. It seems some guests arrive from a sister property in the evening and then depart again, which helps free up spaces. We’d also note that while the on-site restaurant is excellent, it’s priced quite a bit higher than restaurants in town (22-27€ per course). We found ourselves holding back slightly on evening orders to avoid running up a large bill. That said, the aperitivi with a view were a real highlight.||All in all, a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, with exceptional staff and surroundings. We’d love to return.

We’ve just spent three nights at this beautiful hidden retreat and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Escaping the children for some much-needed adult time, this place was the perfect spot to relax and recharge.||From the moment you arrive, the aesthetics are stunning, stylish and thoughtful throughout the hotel. The food was absolutely incredible: fresh fish daily, an excellent wine list, and very reasonably priced champagne. We spent most of our time around the pool, soaking in the breathtaking views with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.||The staff were warm and friendly, occasionally things got a little lost in translation, and their directness might catch us more reserved Brits off guard, but honestly, that’s part of the charm and the cultural difference. Overall, they were wonderful.||Locally, there are plenty of hidden beaches to explore, some lively, others more peaceful. I’d definitely recommend a trip to Scopello; it’s absolutely stunning and well worth the visit.||I felt genuinely sad to leave this place, which says it all. If you're even slightly considering booking, just do it. You won’t regret it.

The view is wonderful, the vibes give gothic Italian charm and the staff are very kind and accommodating. Alicia was very helpful in fixing our house issue with their being wasps nests by the pool which was the only issue. If they fix this, the hotel is paradise. Thank you Alicia , you are a true ambassador for your brand

Unbelievable location with the best infinity pool views. It’s outside of town if you intend to go to San Vito Lo capo. We had a car during the trip and was able to visit nearby beaches (small entrance fee). Only major negatives. Bed was not comfortable and WiFi is not strong at all. Helps you be off the grid for a little while. Great dining at the restaurant.

My Fiancee and I recently visited this hotel for 2x full days, and it exceeded our already high expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The grounds and the pool were absolutely breathtaking. Photos do not do it justice. Food was great - we had lunch and dinner, and liked the dinner so much we went there again on our final night. The staff helped organize a private boat day for my girlfriend and I, and it was one of the best days of our lives. The captain pulled out all the stops. Location-wise, the resort is ~15 minute drive from San Vito. It’s secluded and a little hard to get to the local town, but that’s what we wanted, and the grounds are so gorgeous, we had no issues with this. It was a great way to celebrate our recent engagement, and would highly recommend to anyone.

Dredful experience. Not worth the price at all. Unproper infrastructure: internet hasn’t been working for almost all of the time. Very cheap overall furnishings; specially in the rooms. Service: low quality raw materials for both lunch and dinner cooked in a well below the average fashion. 7€ being asked for a tiny plain fried egg at breakfast?!? Not even the water bottles were being offered in the rooms… Each time we wanted to visit the closeby village of San Vito Lo Capo we had to pay unreal fares (at least 50€ for a few mins drive forth and back?!?!) to very rude local drivers (apart from one named Daniele which was lovely). Cleaniless: average - apart from the unpleasant below average common spaces (loos and poolside) Personnel: very pleasant but totally passive to the guests requests Feels like the property is very keen on cash but not on hospitality. Stunning location though - still this isn’t close to be enough! Sorry.

The location is breathtaking with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. However, the guest experience falls short. Dinner was basic, lacked cooking skill, and was overpriced. Breakfast was just okay, but service was poor, and simple items like crêpes or omelettes carried hefty extra charges. Housekeeping only happened after I requested it. Staff were polite but seemed undertrained for a hotel of this level, and management’s response to feedback was defensive rather than helpful. If you’re booking just for the scenery, it delivers — but for food, service, and value, this hotel missed the mark for me.
