Hotel Aliai

It took us a while to decide on this hotel. It is right on the harbour, but fairly fast to get to from the main road. The approach is not picturesque but location improves upon arrival. A small personal hotel with some quaint rooms, with a view of the ocean and yacht harbour. The old town of Sciacca is easy to get to if you can climb a few flights of stairs. Many restaurants close by. If you want to have a room with antique flair, stay in the main house, if you prefer more modern and more quiet, ask for the Marina building. Plenty of free parking! And only a short drive to many sights along the cost to Agrigento and to the Palermo Airport.

Lovely little hotel right in front of the Tourist port of Sciacca. The town is pronounced Tshakka by the way and not Skiakka. We booked the double room with balcony on the top floor and it was superb for its price. Kingsize bed, spacious room and big balcony overlooking the marina. Lovely in the evening and morning. Nice fridge too. A short walk took us to the commercial port which was very interesting in the evening when they bring in their catches. Fish sold on the dock. The hotel is close to 3 restaurants along the port front. We used the hotel as a base to visit the coast areas eastwards towards Agrigento including Sicily's answer to the White Cliffs of Dover. We had a fantastic lunch at Siculana Marina in the hotel in front of a lovely sandy beach on the way back. The breakfast in the morning was first class and had a bit of everything including my favourite - anchovies!!

Clean, modern and big room in old building. Very good breakfast. Close to city center. No problem with parking.

Location, view from my second-floor room. Josephine, the manager, was excellent and a joy to talk to and work with. She made good recommendations for places to go, photograph, and eat. Breakfast was just right for me. A good combination of fresh pastries, meat, cheese and freshly squeezed juice.

The room has a water views from the small balcony. very clean and good shower. staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner organised someone to drive us to bus stop on the day we are leaving which is a big bonus for us .
