Scicli Albergo Diffuso

Top choice in Southeastern Sicily


This albergo diffuso (diffused hotel) offers quality accommodation in numerous locations across Scicli's historic core. Options range from simple rooms in restored dammusi (traditional stone abodes) to breathtaking suites in 19th-century palaces. Top of the heap are the frescoed rooms inside the 18th-century Palazzo Favacchio Patanè. Reception is on Via Francesco Mormino Penna, where a buffet breakfast is also served.

Best of all, the hotel is run by a young, enthusiastic, service-orientated team.
