Baglio la Porta by Geocharme

My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at this extremely excellent small personal hotel. All the staff were professional and very attentive. I am coeliac and rate here as one of the best hotel’s I have stayed in nothing was to much trouble. It was our 50th wedding anniversary and couldn’t have stayed at a more memorable place. Scenery breathtaking also very relaxing.

Beds are terribly uncomfortable, pillows are very thin and hard, horrible sleep each night we stayed here for us both. The air-conditioning was intermittent and only worked some of the time, keeping us up and awake due to the heat. Very poor lighting in the room, was dark inside when it was super bright outside. Room only lit by a handful of lamps. Rooms dusty and I thinks the air quality was not great. Smell of rusty fixtures was a distraction. Breakfast wasn't great, very small selection and hardly anything to eat. Actually went hungry eat morning due to the limited spread. Got breakfast down in San Vito later on. Very few parking spaces so it was a struggle at times to park. Very little space in the room we were in too with no place to store out luggage. I would definitely not stay in this hotel or any other Geocharm again. It's pretentious and posing as a much higher star hotel when it's substandard. Expensive for what is on offer. Good things for this hotel was the location, nice distance out of town, close to hiking routes and some of the smaller beaches in the Zangaro nature reserve.

This is a wonderful and peaceful place, in the heart of Sicilian nature, and very close to San Capo Lo vito. The food was delicious and the service was perfect and the staff was so friendly that we felt at home. A special thanks to Laura, that made our stay so lovely!
