Beach Hotels in Marettimo

The villa has all the best from at least three points of view: - distance to the beaches - distance to the food stores/restaurants - as starting point for bike trips On Favignana a rental car is not a good choice, you better move around on bikes. Then the distances to beaches and shops are essential. The nearest beach is 400 m away but it's practically in the downtown, and I would not recommend it. There are good beaches on the southern shore, the couple of them just 2..2.5km away. These are Calamoni and Lido Burrone beaches. If you want a bit tougher ride you can go for Cala Grande and beyond, 5 to 6km. Anyway, even by regular mountain bike it's 15 to 25 min ride depending on your shape and eagerness. The nearest good supermarket is Deco, 800m. The villa is rather convenient, with good views from the roof terrace. You can both sunbath and have your meals up there. As almost a rule in Sicily they have gas-stove in the kitchen. The place is quiet unless they have a some Catholic celebration and crack fireworks and play brass music from 7pm through the midnight. There are a couple of places which you would want to visit: Castello di Santa Katerina and Tonnare museum. The former is 314mosl, so embrace for vigorous walk. The museum is one of the most authentic ones I've seen. It has two parts: battle of Egada artifacts (you would not see real Roman helmets or battle ship rams in any other museum), and the Tonnare with lots of exciting photos of catching 200kg tunas from 1950-s. When it comes to bikes, I would recommend renting regular mountain bike, not city bike or e-bike. A mountain bike is at least twice as cheap as e-bike, and it's better for you cardiovascular system:). The island is mostly flat, so e-bikes are for indolent only. Do not go for the nearest rental shop, Isidoro. They do have only upper-end carbon frame bikes. The cheapest are rentals near the marina, Noleggio Playa one of them. The bikes are decrepit but usable.

The location was perfect - not too far from town (about a 20/25 minute walk or 5 minute cycle) and very peaceful. The property was lovely - the outdoor seating area was particularly nice. The staff were so lovely and accommodating - we were able to store our luggage before check in and after check out. We were also able to check into our room early (at around 1pm rather than 5pm) as our room was ready early. Overall, I would highly recommend this accommodation, we had a lovely stay. There was also a quiet area across from the residence with deck chairs under a shaded cover. This was a lovely area with access to the sea.

Lovely location overlooking the harbour in Maretimmo. We were early in the season so many of the facilities were not yet operating, but the price reflected that. We had good breakfast included with fresh fruit, yoghurt, croissant and cake, plus freshly made coffee, served on the communal terrace, which was nicely shaded by vines. The apartment was spacious, there were catering facilities but we didn't use them, preferring to try out the three restaurants in the town open at that time of year, all of which are good in their own way. Marettimo is great for hiking, swimming at isolated bays and the wonderful spring wild flowers.

LOVED this place, Conseulo was the best host we’ve had in all of Sicily and so accommodating!! The Hotel was right on the water which was amazing and she could not have done anymore for us. 100000% stay here.
