This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. I could not fault it. Spotlessly clean, good food, very friendly helpful staff great entertainment. Located right on the beautiful beach and within walking distance of the town. The island trip is well worth booking. This is a very small unspoilt island and not much to do other... More

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday then this is the one for you, the staff are all very friendly and very helpful.

If you want somewhere clean, organized, a few steps from the sea, this is the place. I found a sea better than Sicily (and I am an Italian and I shouldn't say that). It's an emerald/blueish see, with a golden sand. Just amazing. The hotel is a good hotel. There isn't much in the evening but a week is just... More

This is the tallest building on the island, so you can always find your way back. Mind you, getting lost on an island this size would really take some doing. The staff were very helpful and the service at the bar/restaurant very friendly. The beach is stunning - over 5 miles long and virtually deserted. Some travel companies will want... More

The Vilabaleria was a wonderful hotel. Due to the size of our family, we needed two rooms. When we arrived, we found that our rooms had been smoked in despite their no smoking policy. The reception staff was absolutely wonderful and changed our rooms to ones that were not smoked in. Our view out of the balcony while changed was... More

What a fantastic holiday. The hotel was clean, the rooms where clean and the staff extremely friendly. The food was good although after eating at the hotel several days it was a welcome change to eat out. The hotel has a fantastic pool and the beach is immaculate. The island get very little rain so the sun is usually out.... More
