We loved this hotel and definitely recommend it. We stayed in an igloo, which was very quiet and dark, so easy to sleep and relax. Just a couple of things to be aware of. It takes about 40 minutes to walk into the centre as the hotel is a bit far away. You have to wear swimming caps in the pool which the hotel charge 10 euroes for, I would definitely buy them beforehand if you can. Apart from the reception desk the staff don't speak any English, so get ready with your phrase book and a lot of confusion when you get your answer. Watch out for the wasps as breakfast, they are very persistent! Definitely try out the hotel restaurant though, it's an absolute gem.

The hotels grounds are ok for the price but I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay there. First some of the bungalows are in terrible state with rotten wooden frames, ant infested walls and terrible showers (see pictures). The new ones that have been refurbished are fine. We had a reservation for a new bungalow but management "forgot" to put us in a new one (they did reimburse the difference). Bear in mind that location is outside Marsala. The pool is used daily by local kids for swimming lessons. Most annoyingly is the hotel has daily (for the 10 days we were there) wedding and parties. This is their main money maker so they do not care at all about hotel customers. We were kicked out of the pool without notice at mid-day as they had to prepare for a party at night. And the parties, including loud music last till 2 or 3 am. The parties are very big, so bear in mind that you have an additional 200/300 people on the ground...basically at the door step of your room.

The hotel itself is beautiful for weddings etc (why we were there) however avoid the bungalows at all costs - shower could almost not be showered in!!(too small) and it's much smaller than the pictures, doesn't have any light really.... And bugs easily get in + everything can be heard through the wall - the reason we took three bed was to have privacy but no privacy at all. Pizzeria was absolutely amazing though! Breakfast wasn't much either really.

Great hotel to relax and unwind. Beautiful gardens and pool area, all kept very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast first class. Light lunches, snacks very good and choice of artisan beers excellent. Only downside and only if you stay in the main hotel and not one of the bungalows in the gardens, is the number of weddings/functions they hold. They normally finish late, early hours of the morning, so you may be disturbed by people noise and vehicles. Apart from this everything first rate.

We stayed in one of the igloo-like accomodations: odd-looking, (like something out of the first Star Wars movie) but surprisingly spacious inside.

We would definately recomend this hotel. Approaching through Marsala we were apprehensive as the general area seem unimpressive but the hotel and grounds are a welcome oasis. No shabby chic here. It's a hotel that is full of charcter that is also well maintained. Reception staff were v. hepful. We had dinner on the terrace overlooking a walled garden, v romantic, served by friendly smiling waiters. Breakfast, with an amazing variety of pastries, was served by the pool. The down side of our stay was that we arrived just after 6 pm and the pool closes at 7pm (swimming caps must be worn but they can be purchased for 2.50 euros). We were only staying over night for a pit stop, as we toured the island, but it is the one hotel that we would like to have spent more time at to just relax in the setting.

We had a one night stop off as we were traveling around Sicily. We had our own bungalow that looked like a pod/igloo. It was clean and comfy although a little basic. The main hotel is very grand and modern and the ground are well kept and beautiful. The breakfast was amazing the best we have found after travelling around the island it had eggs,cereal, fresh fruit, savoury bread rolls, a great meat and cheese selection, an array of pastries and delicious stunning cream cakes. Staff friendly, free WiFi in reception and plenty of parking. Would recommend as we would stay there again.

Villa Favorita is a wonderful place to go and relax. If you are interested in touring the area, you will need a car.

We stumbled across this hotel following a nightmmare at our original hotel. Absolutely fabulous find. The restaurant was sublime and the staff were superb. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained. The bespoke “igloo style” bungalows were truly unique and amazing. Please make a point of staying if you plan to stay in Sicily. We'll most definitely be back!

The staff was wonderful, very responsive. The pool required caps which was annoying. the shower was moldy and VERY small. The restaurant was out of different dishes that we wanted to try, and there was no parking when there was a wedding event, which was all weekend in the evenings.
