Introduction

Reviews

A classically elegant villa in a tranquil location – perfect for a beach-based break.

Located in peaceful sub-tropical gardens, this hotel started life as a stunning private villa in the early 1900s and still holds all the charm of its aristocratic origins. The service you will receive is at the level you would expect from a Belmond property, and the views are just as spectacular as you can imagine from a coastal setting.

As you would expect from a Belmond property the dining here is exceptional, and as you would expect from Sicily the views that complement your meals are spectacular.

Ristorante Sant'Andrea
Serving lunch and dinner, Ristorante Sant'Andrea focusses on seasonal and local produce including the chef's speciality dish, Sicilian couscous.

Brizza
Experience the best seafood, right on the water's edge. Brizza serves just 12 guests each evening so reservations are essential.

Brace
Open throughout the summer, Brace provides a relaxed evening setting for seafood and grills accompanied by jazz music.

Bar Sant'Andrea
Enjoy a range of aperitifs, light snacks during the day and after the sun sets, classic movie-inspired cocktails.

Pool Bar
Located by the infinity pool, this is the place for light snacks and Italian gelato.

Beach Bar
Open throughout the day for drinks and snacks overlooking the bay.

Our pick

Relax on the shoreline at Brizza where seafood is the speciality. Try roasted octopus or Ganzirri clams in this very intimate setting.
