This is a wonderful place to experience Sicily. Scopello is a small unspoiled village and the Pensione Tranchina is perfect. An old Sicilian home, it has been updated and made pleasant for today's traveler, while keeping its authenticity. The rooms are simply decorated and are very clean. Dinner each evening is delicious. Guests are made comfortable in a common room... More

My husband, 15 year old son and I recently stayed at Pensione Tranchina for the first 2 nights of our Sicilian holiday. It was the perfect start. The common areas and rooms are lovely, comfortable, spacious, and clean. We had a large triple room with a balcony that was very suitable for us . The breakfasts were unique and delicious,... More

Don't stay anywhere else but Pensione Tranchina! My friend and I decided to stay in Scopello since it is a lovely little town very close to the southern entrance of Zingaro Reserve. Words cannot describe Marisin's hospitality. She is such a kind and caring person who goes out of her way to make sure her guests are comfortable and have... More

I stayed at Pensione Tranchina with my husband in September 2012. We loved the place. First of all the owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. They are fun loving people. We ate there the two nights we stay there and the food was delicious! The room was not big but it was nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay at... More

Six of us met in Palermo and began our three-week Sicilian adventure in Scopello with three nights at Pensione Tranchina. It was the perfect start of our trip. Very comfortable beds and rooms (with the best bathrooms we encountered on our trip), wonderful food (we're now trying to emulate Marisin's pasta with swordfish), a lovely hostess and interesting other guests....

We enjoyed our one-night stay at Pensione Tranchina very much, and actually tried to extend it, but the Pensione was fully booked. Our room was simple, but clean and pleasant, with beautiful hand-crocheted trim on the pillowcases and old-fashioned cotton chenille spreads. Our window faced the street, which led to some unfortunate noise in the night -- not traffic, but... More

We were recommended Pensione Tranchina and we wish to thank them for such an experience. This is a B&B that offers half board - or is it a wonderful fixed menu restaurant that has very nice en suite rooms. We were in seventh heaven as fish foodies. Every night the menu was different and exceptional. In larger towns one would... More

There are many great reviews of Pensione Tranchina, all of them WELL deserved. Our large, VERY comfortable room (booked a bit late) had a big window overlooking an alley, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Hibiscus grew on the walls along with various vines, and below us towels and aprons were hung to dry. It felt quintessentially Italian. We think of Marisin... More

We just came back from Sicily and stayed in Pensione Tranchina for 3 days. Marasin is the perfect hostess. The place is spotless and very well maintained. The dinners are spectacular. The freshest fish we've ever eaten. The dishes are all simply prepared but the most delicious food in Italy. We used the pensione as home base and spent the... More
