We loved it here. Great couple who were very helpful and attentive. The dinner was incredible as was the breakfast. Tiny Scopello a gem where we watched a wedding and went for a great hike in the nearby reserva. Highly recommend.

Although we didn't stay, we had friends stay here who said it was perfect and the lady who ran the hotel invited us in, treating us as though we were guests for dinner. Food was brilliant. Staff were the best for friendlieness, assistance and general excellence that I have come across from travelling the world. The lady in charge was... More

We stayed just 2 nights at this great Pensione but, had we realised that you could see most of the places in Western Sicily from it, we would have stayed longer. Lovely sociable atmosphere and good food and drink and an excellent location. Particularly memorable were the broad beans and tomatoes with lots of olive oil at breakfaast!

Marisin is an excellent host, and the standards of the food at this pensione are extremely high, even by Sicilian standards. Delicious and authentic, and better than I could have imagined from The fish on the second night we spent there was some of the very best I have ever eaten, and that is from someone who has lived for...

A delightful hotel in Scopello. Ideal location for exploring the area especially the Zingaro Reserve. Marisin and Salvatore make excellent hosts. The food is of a high standard from locally sourced products, the meals include a different fish dish everyday. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and warm(we visited in February). Also, every evening during our stay Salvatore ensured the... More

Lived up to it's reputation. Excellent location, rooms good size and bed comfortable. Marisin and Salvatore are lovely and very attentive and the food and wine was great. It is a set menu (no choices on the night) and usually fish based, but if you let them know in advance they will prepare something else for you if you don't... More

We stayed here at the end of October 2011 for three nights and just booked the b&b (no dinner) with the intention of trying out the local restaurants. However, we ate at the hotel on the first night and all thoughts of eating elsewhere disappeared. You don't get any choice on the food and you need to be comfortable with... More

We were a group of Norwegians in our late sixties, staying in lovely Scopello for four days. The Pensione Tranchina turned out to be the most pleasant place, with a marvellous hostess administering her staff to serve the guest, serving delicate local dinners with seafood as the main course, on our request, every evening. Nice opportunities for hiking in the... More

It speaks worlds about this lovely hotel that many of our fellow guests had stayed here before. We definitely will return to spend more time in this area of Sicily. Our room for three people was spacious, with a view of the turquoise sea. The owners could not be more hospitable, and the food is fresh, well-prepared, ample and simply... More
