Staff were very helpful in parking our car and showing us to our room. But the room was dark, the bed was the hardest I’ve ever slept on, and the wifi was connected but exceptionally weak. And road noise on first floor was significant.

Excellent hotel the rooms and facilities are extraordinary beautiful, you feel steeped in history. The host is very very friendly and welcoming. Although there is a school next door we were not disturbed by noise at all. It’s about a 20 minute walk to down town which is challenging on the way back as it is up hill. We loved it ..

The hotel was a step back in time. There is nothing modern about the place, yet it's charming. The staff, cleanliness and value made this a great half way stop to Agrigento. We ate breakfast in the court yard at the front of the hotel. The inclusive breakfast was pasteries, yogart and coffee. I heard the rooms at the front of the building were noisy because of the cars foeing by.

Worst experience of our trip
They tried to place us in an awful annex away from the nice hotel
We were going to leave and finally they gave us a room
Breakfast area very grim
Breakfast stale rolls and we had to beg for everything throughout our stay
Breakfast only four kinds of stale rolls no meats cheeses fruit
Charged extra for a room in the hotel when we refused annex
Awful awful place
In the middle of nowhere so had to go great distance for dinner
Hotel restaurant closed

Beautiful room and Convenient location
Beautiful room and Convenient location For exploring Modica, Ragusa and Scicli. Being just out of the centro craziness was a pleasure. Our only complaint is the A/C is undersized for such a large room, the pallazo and planet would benefit from bringing it up to modern heating and air conditioning design standards.

We stayed in the annexe and not the main hotel building which was 50 metres away . It was a spacious room with good facilities
Sara on reception was excellent with help and recommendations . The breakfast was a little sparse and I would have liked some eggs

The room was beautiful and the bathroom was the size of most hotel rooms in Europe. It had a double jacuzzi and a jetted shower. Staff was helpful; breakfast was good; and dinner at their restaurant was delicious.

Exceptional service at the Palazzo Failla.
We arrived at this hotel after being robbed of everything we owned while stopped en route to the hotel. The service they provided to help us get medication, toiletries and clothes and to deal with our damaged vehicle from the robbery was beyond what we expected. I can't say enough good things about them. The hotel property was in an older building but very comfortable and clean. Thank you all again for your help.

The real Sicily
An amazing location and Hotel, typical Italian/Sicilian high end hotel, original in its content. Fantastic accompanying restaurant. Only difficulty is that the Hotel is at the top of the town and quite a walk to the bottom, but there is a local tourist bus. We really enjoyed this place.
