Once arrived in front of this hotel, you understand that you are about to begin an experience. Emotions, admiration, ... You are definitely in a place where Art is its heart. We loved the Trinacria room. What we liked: The unicity of the art-hotel, the beauty of the rooms (Camera d'arte), the ideal position of the hotel (in front of... More

This is a strange but interesting hotel. Especially if you are not an artist. There were no standard rooms available so we selected the least strange of the rooms we were shown. The room was painted completely black. No furniture except a type of bed fastened to the wall. Heavy concrete or iron doors. The room key was some type... More

Staying in the Ateliersulmare art hotel was a little like staying in a modern art museum. Thankfully they had some good signage to direct our car down to the hotel because we would have missed it otherwise. The hotel was being renovated while we were there and we were the only ones staying here. We chose the water bearers art... More

At first glance Castel di Tusa has little to offer; a bar emitting pop music and the whiff of café kitchen, plus a few fishing boats on the harbour front. Except it happens to be home to one of the most extraordinary hotels I've ever checked into. It's the brainchild of Antonio Presti, who had the insane idea that guests... More

After reading about this place and their art/ sculpture initiative the 'Fiumara d'Arte' we decided to completely re-route our trip to stay here, and it was worth it! We were in the room called 'Water Bearers' which has two bedrooms actually - one lined completely in copper, with a door/window the complete height and width of the room opening onto... More

This was my favourite place that we stayed at during our trip in sicily. THe hotel is a beautiful art deco building, decorated head to toe inside with the widest variety of art and only about a 10 meter walk to the beach. There is a ceramic workshop downstairs, where they sell some really nice handmade pottery. When we arrived... More

Why can't all hotels be this unique & fascinating? We stayed here for a week - loved the weather, loved the beaches, loved the creative vibe of the hotel. If you can, ask to change rooms every day - we did that so we could experience the conceptual designs to each room, and it made the holiday for us.

we were looking for something very special so we thought this was what we needed. As we arrived we were dragged into a self-celebrative tour of the art rooms... we booked the prophet's room which apparently is the most desired one. The room is indeed amazing, mainly because of the view than the room itself. Upon checking in the owner... More

This is an oasis of tranquillity, right on the sea with a beautiful panorama. This hotel has comfortable and charming art room, all with sea views. The beach is easy to be reached, few meters from the main gate. Its restaurant offers local cousine with a varied menu in a panoramic terrace. The reception staff was very pleasant and kind,... More

This so called hotel would be better to become an attraction because it doesnt rate as an hotel, totally overpriced with poor staffing especially the breakfast lady who was unhelpful,slow,rude and hated it if you finished things off and she had to replenish any food. No tv, safe , fridge and not even worth stopping if you dont have a... More
