2 Best Hotels in Scicli, Sicily

Designed and run by charming Torino couple Cinzia and Dario, this stone-built former seminary turned chic, peaceful retreat near seaside Sampieri has rustic yet sophisticated rooms, panoramic terraces, and a gorgeous pool. The cozy social hub lounge/bar/dining area opens onto a large terrace with comfy loungers overlooking cacti- and olive tree-dotted gardens and pool, with the countryside and shimmering sea beyond.

Since it's a bit off the beaten path, Scicli doesn't have too many hotels, but a good choice to rest your head is Albergo Diffuso, which can best be described as a “dispersed hotel,” where rooms are located in different historic homes throughout the town. The houses are all recently restored and well-equipped; and largely concentrated in a 1,000-foot radius of Via Francesco Mormina Penna.
