Settegrana

The property is a small B&B rather than a hotel with only a few suites. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom was incredible, with a walk-in shower. Breakfast was a 'help yourself' continental style, from a selection of yogurts, pastries, fruit, bread, etc. in a small communal area, and there was also a basket of snacks in the room, along with a fridge with water and yogurt already stocked. The room also had a small kettle and a pod coffee machine, with pods and tea bags. (Note, if you're English and like a decent cuppa, bring your own tea bags as the Sicilian ones are too small to make a proper one!) The B&B itself is well-kept with a mix of contemporary design and traditional features - a style I really liked. Cinisi is a small town but has some pretty good places to eat - the B&B owner gave us a list of recommendations which were really good, including the local pizza 'takeaway' which has a large seating area upstairs for eat-in customers, and excellent service.

The B&B is on a narrower street off the main street in Cinisi, and driving around is definitely an experience! Parking isn't great (it's on-street parking, though free), although we managed to find a space within a few metres of the B&B every day. We visited in March and the nights can still be quite cold - it took us a while to get the room heater / air conditioner set up to heat the room comfortably as there were no clear instructions we could find in the room - I had to do an internet search for the air conditioner instructions.

Located near the airport, this location is within easy access near a lovely beach. The owner took us by car to the beach and offered an sun umbrella after welcoming us at Settegrana. Airport shuttle was spot on time and brought us in 15 minutes to the airport. Have a look at the photos to check out the amazing rooms - spacious, new and airco to make the summer heat go away :-) Very pleasant chat with the owners, lovely town, good food. What more can you ask?

Taxi fares in Sicily are a major drawback on the island. Travel to Sicily is reasonable and local food, accommodation and public transport all with a high price-quality ratio. Yet taxis are VERY expensive - on average double what you'd pay in any EU capital city. Asked why, drivers unvariable shrug and grumble that they drive you around, so you'd be happy they do that for you. With a straight face too... Not exactly the customer experience you are waiting for on holiday.

Very clean and nice smelling big room, close to the main street of Cinisi. I received a text with the security code from the door, and was greeted and checked in by the cleaning lady, who used Google Translate to check me in :). Great recommendations from owner on where to eat. Tried the Imperial Burger, and it was indeed delicious. There was no hot water in the room, but this issue was solved within 30 minutes after texting Fara. She came, and the problem was immediately fixed by a plumber. I highly recommend staying here, on the way to the airport!

The room was spotless clean, very nicely decorated and with everything we needed (including coffe machine and capsules, kettle, some breakfast in the room, extra blankets, hair dryer, soap...).The host was really nice and he did everything to make our stay comfortable. We had to leave at 5am and he told as that we could have some breakfast from downstairs before leaving. Moreover he brought some delicious Sicilian savoury "hoops" to the room to accompany our wine! Thank you for those little details :) I highly recommend the place. You can't get any better and even less for the price!!! Amazing.

Nothing. Everything was just perfect

Design 10/10. In beforehand I was a bit hesitant, I'm used to the pictures looking better as pictures than in real life... but not here!!!! Settegrana is one of the most beautiful accommodations I've ever seen, with an exceptional taste of design and space. The host was also really nice and made sure everything was going well. Check in and Check out were super easy!

We were a bit unlucky with the weather and unfortunately couldn't make use of the beautiful terrace as much as we'd hoped to, but obviously that's no one's fault :) Breakfast could have been better. It was packaged croissants from the supermarket which definitely don't compare to fresh bakery goods. That said, I still loved our stay and am planning to come back!

We stayed for 1 night before our flight out to be close to the airport. Settegrana is lovely little accomodation with an exceptional level of service which I could not rate more highly. Whilst it was only a one night stay, they treated us impeccably well. The host offered to drop us off into town, checked up on us, arranged taxi’s at our late request and made our stay such a seamless stay. A bonus, there is also a local pizza place around the corner which opens till late and is delicious.

Nothing

EVERYTHING! The location, the place, the rooms, the village, the host!! The rooms are fabulous, the location is perfect in the middle of Cinisi, close by to everything. The host is perfect, providing all you need and help with arranging taxi, offers breakfast and amenities to the room at all time! I just wish we had stayed longer!

We had some problems with the air condition but I am certain that is fixed right away! Maybe put an extra fan into the inner “room” as it gets hot in the summer:-)

Really nice place, the balcony we had on our unit was great. The pool is small, but it's nice having it there. Nothing like reading a book on those comfy chairs by the water.

The place is almost too modern. The sink is just a basin, there's no place to rest your toothbrush or soap for washing your hands. There's no place for luggage and only one really small rack for hanging your coat. It looks funky and modern, but for a hotel, not very practical. Especially since most people stay here for heading to the airport.

Very nice apartment that brings the charme of a classic italian village to modern architecture. We had the room with the painted ceiling; it is a very thoughtful combination with some antique furniture. The bathroom is behind a glass door - which makes sense from a visual stance as it leaves the beauty of the old room. But it can lead to vivid discussions as the structure is open and not soundproof (some people really dislike it). Situated in a no-frills suburban town, Settegrana is a splendid location for a stopover to the airport (there is a shuttle service); and it is also a good base for people who like to drive and can take day-trips to the beach and to Palermo (both scenic beach towns like Scopello, Castellamare dell Golfo and Palermo are 40-60 minutes away by car). The owner prepared a very nice breakfast tray for us as we left very early in the morning, with oranges and a lemon from his won garden.

The room with the painted ceiling is definitely better for families than for groups of travellers (then don't forget your headphones) as the bathroom is very beautiful, but quite open.

We had a lovely stay in one of apartments in Settegrana. The room was extremely clean . The inside of the room was really modern with traditional accents. We were amazed by the idea of all decor there :) if you wish to stay in unique place don’t hesitate to book Settegrana. Location was really close to Palermo Airport . Andrea ( owner ) took care of us - from transporting us from airport to recommending us nice restaurants nearby. Thank you Andrea . We will be back for sure ! Michalina & Marcin
