Well decorated, comfortable aparts, private terraces, a very nice restaurant, friendly personnel...Peaceful and clean environment.... about 5 kms to the seaside, 10 kms to the messina-palermo highway... Even in April we enjoyed this place.

We were in Sicily in July as part of two couples traveling together. Borgo San Francesco was our first stop of the trip, but ended up being our favorite. In restrospect, we wish we had stayed here a bit longer. The setting is gorgeous -- our apartment had a lovely terrace overlooking the valley, with a smaller upstairs balcony off... More

We stayed for just one night, but we`ll definately stay longer next time. The apartment was newbuilt, spatious and clean overlooking the mountains. Our two teenagers loved the pool. We hade a very nice dinner at the restaurant. Friendly staff and a nice afternoon at the poolside with Sandra from the owner family, and her friend John.

Sandra and her family were welcoming, accomodating and a pleasure to meet. This location is ideal for a relaxing layed back place to lay your head. Our children 20yrs &12yrs were not thrilled, however Mom and Dad were. The pool was open, there was ping pong, tv lounge, and internet. We loved that we could shop in town and cook... More

I liked the labyrinthine layout of the grounds. Most of all, I liked the warm vibe of the place. I felt welcome. The Borgo is run by the Coletta family: all of whom are excellent hosts and are extremely helpful. They are from the area so nobody knows the lay of the land better than they do. When language becomes... More

Only stayed for one night. Drove from Palermo on smaller roads so were very tried upon arrival, but the English speaking staff were very helpful and even gave us free bottled water. Parking was a bit tricky, but not bad for Sicily. We had trouble finding it but we hadn't used the directions from their website or been through Gioiosa... More

We stayed at Borgo San Francesco with our two young children (5 years old and 20 months) in April; 2011. The owners Sandra and Toninio helped make both our booking and stay exceptionally stress free. Sandra, who has English as a first language and who is also fluent in Italian and French, made sure that we had a cot and... More
