Domus Maris Relais Boutique Hotel

This is a great hotel with incredible views of the port in the sleepy town of Sciacca, Sicily. We only stayed for one night when travelling from the North to South of the island but would definitely recommend based upon our experience. The hotel is very centrally located in the small town and is accessible to the centre within just a few minutes walk. The marina / port is also within ten minutes walk, although there seems to be a lot of building work ongoing currently so not much to see or do here. The hotel is clean and spacious and the small balcony is great for sitting out and watching the world go by in an evening.

We have just returned from a delightful stay at the charming Domus Maris Hotel. A warm welcome awaited us, hidden away in a cobbled street. The hotel is beautifully & tastefully decorated with all modern accompaniments. Every effort has been made to retain the charm & uniqueness of the building yet including modern architecture to elevate it , giving it luxury feel. The large windows with views over the sea. The stunning breakfast room which must have been an old cellar, retains a traditional feel. Would highly recommend if you’re visiting Sciacca (a lovely town) it’s in the heart of everything. Well done to Silvano & the team.

For this price, this boutique hotel deserves 5 stars. Located in the centre of Sciazza, a little gem. Unload your luggage in front of the hotel, then park your car a few hundred meters further. There is free parking, I did not find it, had to pay €1 per hour, a bit of hassle as you need to buy coupons at a bar. So ask reception for good direction. Rooms are good, little balcony overlooking the sea, the hotel is not at sea. Small bathroom, great shower, good bed, coffeemaker. Breakfast not too extensive has more than sufficient options. Definitely recommended!

We stayed here for the first 5 nights of our 11 night stay on this side of Sicily . First of all let me explain why I’ve not ranked it as excellent - yes it is for value for money , excellent for a quality breakfast not huge amounts but local fresh produce on offer , excellent for location and excellent for areas in the hotel and it’s cleanliness. The only reason I’ve not given it overall excellent is my person view that our room was a tad compact , I would normally book a suite but this was a last minute booking due to my husband working offshore in Sicily and our plans changing therefore a suite was not available . We did like the double shower and the coffee maker in the room but the aircon was all or nothing . Would I recommend this accommodation - most definitely. The only other issue we had was parking - now we know what parking is like ( not many city centre hotels have parking ) and yes we used a nearby public car park and we’re prepared to pay but it was the faff of scratch cards - one for every hour that restrictions so we ended up having to put 5 cards in the car from 4pm til 9 ( after we got back after a day out ) it does get busy with locals at weekends so take that into consideration then my husband had to get up and put 2 more from 8am in the morning. We know there is free parking further away but it was always full so we gave up trying .
