Hotel Villa Mare

Hotel Villa Mare is a quaint and lovely hotel that is situated up high and overlooking the ocean. Our rooms were clean and comfortable, including the bed. We ate dinner at their restaurant and had a wonderful pizza. The staff at hotel and restaurant are very friendly and accommodating. They even set aside a parking spot right in front of the hotel. There is a wonderful gelato/bakery shop very close and a nice town square to sit and enjoy the food/drink and view. I highly recommend.

Friendly staff, responsive and most important to me, everything was clean and in working order.

Exceptional welcoming place, run by a family, very clean and tidy, good view of the sea, very nice little town, no touristy at all, strong AC, great breakfast, 10/10, exceptional value for the price.

All was good,

It was right in Alta Villa Milicia - so we were walking distance to restaurants - stores etc. The hotel owner also owns a restaurant - it was closed and they opened it just for us. We were 9 adults and 2 children. Plus it was raining so they took us through the back attached to the hotel which is only available for the workers. One day we wanted to go someplace and couldn't get car service - the owners son-in-law drove us - he had to make two trips to take us all. He said there is no charge but we paid him. They treat you like family. If you are looking for a swimming pool - gym etc. this is not the place. But for clean rooms - AC and to be "with the people" in Alta Villa Milicia this is the place.

The only thing we didn't like was leaving to go home.

Made sure we had a parking space in front. Beautiful view with a great terrace to enjoy breakfast.

The break fast was very good and the staff were very pleasant and helpful .A car parking place was reserved for us each evening . We ate at the hotel’s restaurant , next door , both evenings of our stay and the food was v good .

The shower head cradle wasn’t functioning properly therefore it became a hand held shower . There were no restaurants within walking distance .

super super friendly hosts. There restaurant is typical and oh so tasty!!

Behind noisy highway

Parking spot. Great breakfast. Clean and spacious. Great staff

Bed was very hard. All restaurants closed for vacation.

Location good, breakfast good. View of coast excellent.

We stayed in an apartment in the new property next door to the hotel. Newly renovated large space with city view balcony, large bathroom, kitchen and small washing machine. Breakfast buffet was really lovely with balcony and incredible view of the sea (see picture). The owners were on site every day, checked on us often and treated us like family!! Don’t miss the on site restaurant for dinner. Our favorite meal was there, so delicious and felt like home. Many locals were dining there. Altavilla is a lovely town, short train rides to Palermo and the exquisite Cefalu. Not far from the beach, which was still closed for our visit. But we will be back!! Thank you, Guzzo/Incandela family!

A very sweet family runs the hotel. They couldn't do enough to make us welcome and comfortable We had a great night sleep and a great breakfast.

We can't say anything negative at all.

Charming family hotel, authentic quiet, friendliest staff, sea view !, and a good breakfast

Lovely quiet hotel with very friendly staff. Conveniently close to the motorway.

Clean functional oom although very small if staying for more than one night.. There didn't seem to be any facilities in the hotel except for breakfast . Perfectly adequate for a one night stopover but not for a longer stay. We arrived late at night and left next morning so it suited us.

How helpful all members of the staff were especially Nino and the young girls who shared the reception duties.

We had originally wanted to stay at Villa Mare when we booked our trip nine months ago, but all the rooms had been booked. We found another room elsewhere, and less than a month before our trip, our stay was canceled by the owner. Thankfully, Villa Mare had a room. We were a bit worried, but the hotel set our minds at ease. Calogero, the hotel manager reached out within minutes of booking. We needed a room with three beds, and he made it happen. Our room was not only clean and pristine when we arrived, it was perfect every afternoon when we returned. Not to mention the room and bathroom was bigger than you would expect for a European hotel. Breakfast was included and delicious. The views are incredible. And the location is perfect. The real stars, however, are the staff. Calogero was great. He even reach out the day of arrival to make sure our room was the perfect temperature. Every need was attended to. The rest of the staff was in lockstep—courteous and accommodating even though most of us didn’t speak Italian.You could not ask for more from this hotel.

excellent breakfast overlooking the seaterrace from room

location, the beach is close but not accessible on foot!!!! Misleading!

Location, location, location!!! This hotel was right in the center of town. My friend and I came to join a celebration at the church and were so pleased that it was only a block away. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was warm and very helpful. An unexpected plus for me is that most of the staff also spoke English fluently. They also served a great little breakfast with a marvelous view; what a nice way to begin the day!

very clean great view. great breakfast. reserve parking in front of hotel. great little town.

Good for a short stay. There is not much to do in the town. The hotel restaurant was very good and good value for money.
