Lady on reception was not particularly welcoming when we arrived. However a younger member of staff showed us to our room and was helpful when we tried to use the computer in the bar area. Wi-fi access was extremely poor. The room was clean and had a pretty balcony to sit out on overlooking the lovely garden. The bathroom was... More

I agree totally with geolon's review but would question marinaheck's breakfast review. I am not a lover of cake for breakfast and would have liked some eggs, toast etc instead of cake. It was "too cold" in the management's view to have breakfast outside which would have been spectacular - being english we felt the warm sunshine would have been... More

Excellently welcoming, informative and helpful guy on the front desk had great recommendation for dinner. A lovely and imaginatively restored building with its own parking outside - unusual in the heart of a Sicilian city!

In Marsala this is certainly a very good hotel. Nothing very fancy, good value, nice rooms and a very friendly and accommodating staff. The location is also perfect. The brealfast is copious with a fabulous variety of cakes. On arrival you get a glass of Marsala wime.

We had no idea what to expect when picking the Carmine but were very pleasantly surprised once we managed to find it. It is definitely more of a 4 star than a 3 and we would recommend it highly to anybody looking for a place to stay in this part of the island. Their spacious garden is a lovely place... More

Based upon the accommodations we had, it could ultimately rate as a 4-5 star hotel. However, there were... More

This is the one of the nicest hotels we stayed in @ Sicily. The fusion of modern and old architecture and decor melt very propositionally. There is a beautiful spacious green garden/ patio where they serve breakfast. Very elegant and quite pleasant. The room was nice and clean, comfortable bed, good quiet sleep and great WIFI connection. The hotel itself... More

Perfect location for tourists. Excellent value. 5 star service. Strong WIFI connection in the room (We had a ground floor room, #7). Exceptional! Michelin should add 2 more stars! TripAdvisor won't let me post until I have at least 200 characters in my review, so as you can see, I'm adding characters.

In a comparative wasteland in north western Sicily the Carmine Hotel is a perfect example of a small but perfectly-formed hotel that exudes great charm and elegance. The hotel sits in the Piazza Del Carmine named after the church and monastic buildings that share the sunlit space. The old building has been very cleverly updated to include all modern conveniences... More
