The photos do not show just how beautiful a location this is. The residence is nestled in a peaceful area part of the impossible gardens, which is a quarry turned botanical garden (1000% worth a visit, it’s incredible). The villas are all so private you don’t know anybody else is there, so it feels just like your own paradise. The outdoor pool is a great attraction and the outdoor dining area has a lovely vibe for relaxing and a bar. This is by far and away the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I cannot fault it. Favignana is an astonishing island - you will need a bicycle, but the hotel staff helped me rent one.

The room and patio were small but perfect for two. The communal area is exceptionally beautiful and the gardens and pool are stunning. The staff are very helpful with information and advise. And having a kitchen was brilliant as eating out on the island can be very expensive

There is no shop/food/water located nearby. The villa is a 15 min drive away from the town center (supermarkets, bakeries ect) so a taxi is required and this will cost €16 each way. Renting a bike is essential to get around the island, this costs an additional €20 per day so keep this in mind for your budget.

Everything was wonderful, the villa is in a botanical garden which is stunning (photos don’t do it justice). The pool is great, room was simple but comfortable with AC, staff were kind and there are some cute cats hiding around too. It’s a 15 min cycle from the centre but it’s a nice ride, or you need to book a taxi in advance if you have luggage. The closest shops are in the centre but there is a restaurant in a nearby hotel and the beaches are close, just a short cycle. Overall, it’s a simple, peaceful oasis in the middle of the island and I would definitely return

There could have been more storage for clothes in the room but it’s a minor thing

We loved being surrounded by nature. There is a very lovely vibe to the residence. We really enjoyed the pool and spending some quiet time in the chill area. The host was kind, he gave us recommendations and helped us rent bicycles. We also enjoyed visiting the ‘giardino dell’impossibile’!

The room definitely needs renovating. There was no proper wardrobe and the bathroom facilities were very old and very small. On booking.com we were upgraded to a ‘superior bedroom’ but in real life we were not (at least we hope that’s not a superior bedroom!).

This property was a breath of fresh air, literally. Warm and welcoming from the start. The staff is organized, professional and tasteful with their approach. It’s a bit away from the center and markets of Favignana, but closer to some of the prettier beaches. Lots of room to breath, be present and enjoy the sounds of whistling trees, birds and insects, the beautiful following fountains on the property and the peacefulness of jazz music in the lounge. Felt like a retreat. A stay I will remember for many years to come.

Rooms need a facelift. Still cozy and stocked with basics and essentials- if they put as much attention into the rooms with simple amenities and comfort (with beds, pillows and linens etc) as they do the rest of the facilities I believe it would be top-tier! The lounge chairs by the pool could use some cushions, but it didn’t keep us away from taking sun and swimming most all the day, everyday :)

The location is extraordinary and nothing like I had ever been before. Sleeping in the midst of such a special botanical garden, full of history and charm, was definitely a privilege. The common areas outside and the pool made it all so dreamy. I had read conflicting reports online, but I’m happy to say we had a wonderful stay and I would visit.

If you have loud neighbours you’re going to need ear plugs as the walls are very thin.

Magical magical place! Set in a garden that is itself a dream, the location is amazing, very secluded but still only a 10 minute bike ride to the center and 5minute ride to beautiful beaches. The little bungalow I was staying at was recetly renovated, the mattress was amazing, the water pressure was great, all in all I was really happy to have found this place, I will definitely be back!

I loved EVERYTHING!!!

They don't speak English, a little at the reception, but try to understand us. We lost rental bike key and they call the bike company for us. The place is so beautiful and close to beaches. Free entry to the garden for guests. It is also worth to visit. Everything was great.

We couldn't find the gate to enter for 5 minutes when we arrived.

Great location, far from the busy town center and surrounded by lemon trees and colorful oleanders. The room was average size but with really minimal storage space. The bathroom quite small but functional. The premises did offer convenient little corner outside we did use it to prepare breakfast and a simple dinners

The strict schedule for the pool

The gardens are just beautiful. Our room had this high terrace that allowd me to work out with my gear without disturbing anybody. End of June is perfect because still not busy.

One needs to be prepared for simple accomodation and be sporty.
