Contino Maria

The Giafra turned out to be a wonderful oasis. The pool was very welcome after a days sightseeing. The property is modern and well looked after, the owners and their team were all friendly, attentive and helpful. The panoramic roof terrace was an unexpected bonus. We upgraded to a room with a balcony which was worthwhile. Our only downside was that the standard rooms were quite small. The larger room price point increased dramatically. There are a few restaurants in San Leone to choose from on the seafront, a short stroll away. We found it to be a good location for a couple of days to do the nearby Valley of the Temples.

Small boutique hotel , full 5star , first class amenities, full breakfast , staff helpful and friendly,street parking ,full restaurants close by , no problem in recommending , Large pool on site .Site is only about 4 yrs old but it is kept in top condition.

Excellent place to stay when visiting the valley of the temples. The rooms are not super big but very modern. And the airco is working ( some hotels it isn t yet in April). The reception is great with a complimentary drink and super friendly and helpful. The best things are in the details and this is the first place that has musquito nets at the windows so you can leave them open with no risks. Breakfast is nice, only remark there is that you need to choose what to eat on arrival.

Professional staff, tasty food- perfect coffee, croisants, interesting and modern interior, cleen rooms, nice music near the pool. More than we excpected❤️ We recommend this wonderful place near the sea❤️

Beautiful house and garden with nice swimmingpool. Our room with balcony was rather small, but we were very surprised with the kind and lovely decoration at the occasion of our 40 years of marriage. Breakfast was near the swimmingpool and delicious. The staff and the owners are very kind. We got a few unexpected attentions as aperitivo snacks and fresh pressed grape juice from their own biological grapes. The only little minus was that a towel for the swimming pool cost 5 euro. This we have never experienced anywhere before. But, as said, this is a negligible detail. We would recommend this B&B!

WARNING OWNERS A SCAMMER!! Tontino the owner charged us 81€ for city tax for 2nights upon check out and he insisted it must be cash, this was our first stop in sicily so we didn't know what to expect for city tax. We contacted them to ask about the charge and the English speaking woman said on our bill we were charged 4€ for city tax and 81€ was impossible cuz we had no extra charges, The woman was supposed to return our call when she got into work but never did, im guessing the owner told her not to. We know what we were charged and watched the owner take the change from his pocket, he takes advantage of tourists and its disgusting, the price of the room was already more expensive than the surrounding hotels. The stay was OK, the one woman that spoke English was nice and helpful besides that avoid the scam and know you should only be charged 1€ a day per person and get a receipt!! UPDATE: called us back shortly after this review posted, owner was in the background insisting he charged us 8€ now and still wouldn't fess up to the scam. We thanked the woman for calling us back and being helpful and said were not going back n forth about this. We know what we paid, we gave him 100€ and he have us change from his pocket, he knows what he did. That's OK there's reviews posted and ALL of my sicily travel pages on Facebook and social media have posts as well with a bunch of responses and likes already, and I'm not done...I hope the 81€ was worth it, it's sad to be treated like this..... they've called us and are now threatening us to take down the reviews, and when I checked I seen another review from the following week from a guy saying it happened to him too
