Sikelia Luxury Retreat

I came to see Sikelia with my mom, my sister and my boyfriend and we had an amazing vacation. It is a very quiet and calm property that has very peaceful and relaxing energy. The food was amazing and the owner Giulia was very attentive and really cares to know her guest on a deeper personal level. We had an amazing dinner at Coste Ghirlanda one night and it was in a BEAUTIFUL setting! The location is great and close to the Scauri port where we did a boat day. Overall, I highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

Restaurant was top-notch. The best food we had on the island. Local ingredients, put up together in an elaborate way, with killer taste and beautiful presentation. Dishes are small so would recommend at least an antipasti, and a primi + secondi. It’s quite expensive. The staff is very attentive. The maître d’ was very kind, guided us perfectly on the wine. It was windy that evening, so we had dinner inside, which is certainly less atmospheric than outside. Overall amazing evening. Hotel looks like a slightly modernised take on the dammuso (think bigger windows) and perhaps some rooms have a nice view but overall location is a bit set back on the shoulder of a hill, preventing the kid of jaw dropping views you can have elsewhere on the island. Will try to stay there next time

Outstandingly friendly staff and owner Julia who took best care of us after a difficult arrival. Lovely boutique hotel facility. Don’t miss a dinner at the hotel‘s winery Coste Ghirlanda.
