Hotel Ristorante Torre Bennistra

Lovely setting, beautiful Scopello. Smallish rooms but very helpful owners and helpful staff. Just love the village atmosphere of Scopello, gelato, shops and numerous restaurants. Lot to love here and beautiful people, great food, etc

Stunning family run hotel with beautiful views over the Sicilian coast. Visiting the area for a wedding, Scopello was a hidden gem in the hills of western Sicily. A small continental breakfast felt like you were eating with the family on the terrace in the sunshine. We didn’t visit the restaurant because there was live jazz music in the main piazza which had 6 or so restaurants. The walk to the sea dock is downhill but worth the hike (coming back up was the hard part). Would recommend hiring a car or scooter if visiting because there are no taxis. No swimming pool.

This Hotel is owned & run by an elderly couple who sit in the reception area watching television with their elderly family and friends all day and you feel like you’re intruding. We were greeted by the elderly man who does not speak a word of English but managed to scowl and showed no interest in us booking a room. His elderly wife seen getting around in her bed clothes & Zimmer frames left in corridors. Is this a Hotel or a retirement home? Everything is old; decor, furnishings, bed linen. Breakfast is not included. You have to pay extra. Watch your bill, they like to charge for extras without your knowledge. One cup of coffee at breakfast. A second one will be charged! The young woman who was working in the kitchen did not ask us if we wanted a coffee., we had to ask her. Seems she doesn’t know how to use the coffee machine. The Hotel is in a great location , but Is in need desperate need of new management & a fresh modern overhaul.

The most amazing view in Scopello (the sunrises do not disappoint), super helpful and friendly staff, very clean and altogether a wondeful experience. The restaurant also has great views and really good food.

This hotel has been in the family for many many years. Perched on the edge of a hill, my room had astonishing views over the sea and the Torre Bennistra. The restaurant food is extremely good, much of it from family recipes. Rooms are clean and simple; mine had a tiny balcony. It is very close to the village square, with its cafes, and small food shops.

Just returned from a walking holiday in Sicily with Inntravel and stayed here for two nights. Excellent location and view and the small terrace for breakfast overlooking the sea would be hard to beat. The rest of the hotel is very average, a little run down and looking out of our window at the next door hotel's pool, we would rather have stayed there! Our friends booked a sea view room but didn't get it.
