Hotel Capo San Vito is not only positioned over looking a beautiful beach, with views of undulating hills and mountains but also provides well furnished and perfectly decorated rooms as well as fantastic staff.
When we arrived the hotel didn't look so appealing from the outside, but when we entered, the interior had a boutique feel to it and we were welcomed warmly at reception. Although the reception area was small it was decorated with impressive artwork, especially for a relatively small hotel positioned on the outskirts of Palermo.
When we arrived to our rooms my immediate feeling was one of a good nature, they were beautifully furnished with good furniture, lighting and a comfortable balcony. The bathrooms were nice, however it didn't have a bath. The only negative about the room was that the beds were fairly uncomfortable.
Although only few of the staff spoke English, I thought they were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. From the maids to the manager I thought they were all very nice and warm. The waiters and waitresses were all very helpful and professional. The only problem was that the food wasn't great, however it was reasonably priced. We had a waiter called Caspare who was very funny and entertaining as well as being very professional and good at his job.
Our other waitress was probably the most beautiful woman I've ever set eyes upon, the spitting image of Sophia Loren, she served us drinks to us every night with elegance and professionalism. With piercing green eyes and a perfect smile I would advise you to come to Hotel Capo San Vito purely for her!
We stepped onto the beach from the hotel and we stayed there most of the day. The water was a beautiful temperature. The beach was full a lot of the time but, that didn't spoil the breathtaking views. Sadly the town that the hotel was located in was unappealing, it had several bars and restaurants but we stayed in the hotel to eat every night, but who wouldn't with stunning views of the Mediterranean on your doorstep. You had to pay for the beach uses, such as sun beds and towels, we were slightly disappointed at first but then realised it was very common to have to pay to use the beach when staying at hotels in Sicily.
The Hotel wasn't cheap, but by no means was it overpriced. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone, a family beach holiday, romantic stay or a place to escape. A fantastic stay, great people, great location.
