“Great value and good food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

If you want a comfortable hotel without breaking the bank, this is the one for you. However if you want a lively hotel in a bustling town, then it isn't! Still, you can enjoy some delicious Sicilian cuisine and then go straight to bed - there's nothing else to do. Castelluzzo is a tiny village, with one or two old ladies sitting on chairs outside their homes. it is very Sicilian though, and not far from San Vito Lo Capo with its hordes of weekenders from Palermo who come to enjoy the lovely sandy beach and huge choice of restaurants. Not far also from Trapani which improves every year, and some wonderful sights such as Erice, Segesta and Selinunte. I'd certainly recommend the hotel, I spent one week there in October and was very pleased, I enjoyed it immensely.

Room Tip: Some rooms overlook the main road

“Average nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at al ritrovo for two nights, pre-booked due to the tripadvisor ranking.

Rooms: rooms are ok, clean and beds confortable. Furthermore no noise.

Service: the owner is a nice guy always happy to answer questions (although he doesn't say much if not needed). Breakfast is a little bit disappointing as its mostly sweet stuff and not much fresh food.

Price: we paid €75 per night which is about what you have to pay in sicily for a room of this standard.

Location: it is about a 10 minute drive to the village san vito lo capo. For those who want to be next to restaurants, etc or don't have a car its too far. For us it was ok.

Overall rating: a good average choice.

“Fantastic Sicilian Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for four nights at the beginning of May and would recommend this to anyone planning a vacation the San Vito lo Capo area. Even in the off season when the weather was so-so, the location was gorgeous and couldn't be beat -- only a ten minute drive from San Vito, which was really the perfect distance away from the more touristy areas. The hotel was modern and clean with a friendly staff and a superb restaurant -- I highly recommend eating there at least one night. Pepe and the other staff were ready with suggestions for other restaurants and destinations, and we ran into him one evening in town and were invited out for a drink -- if we hadn't needed to get up so early the next morning to catch our flight our of Trapani, we definitely would have taken him up on the offer! You will definitely need a car to arrive at the hotel (and any other destinations in the area).

“Highly recommended and valued”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

We stayed at this hotel a week during the Eastern and we had a very nice time here. The owner, Pepe, is really working hard to make the guests feeling pleased. It´s a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. And Pepe is an excellent chef in the kitchen making dishes we not forget at the first time...The three courses menu and desserts were all so well composed and varied. The rooms were comfortable, tidy and clean. The hotel is well located near San Vito Lo Capo but also in relation to other attractions such as Scopello, Zingaro, Segesta and Erice. We enjoyed the time we spent here very much and would love to come back. Specially for the food,(amazing), the coffee and the atmosphere. Pepe held a cooking class that we appreciated very much All staff were also very nice and service-minded. Pepe made a very good job to arrange trips for us to Erice and Segusta, which we appreciate very much and highly recommended. The only thing that wasn´t perfect was the traffic and the noise it made, specially late evening and mornings. The hotel is located just besides the road to San Vito Lo Capo, that´s godd in one way but on the other way it leads naturally to noise . During this time the traffic wasn´t heavy but the cars that ran here ran fast...Not a problem for us, we had earplugs.

Room Tip: Take earplugs with you.

This hotel is very nice: the rooms are modern, the staff is very friendly and the kitchen is the best we had all over sicily. It is a cozy hotel, combining also restaurant and bar where the locals get their espresso each morning. We ate nice fish and Pepe prepared us a local speciality in the morning. Will definitely return there.
