Hotel Grotticelli

Perched between the Zingaro Nature Reserve and the ancient village of Scopello on Sicily’s west coast, Hotel Grotticelli is a short drive from Scopello’s sea stacks and the pebble cove of Cala Masso di Sciacca. It’s about 4 km from Scopello, 10 km from the sandy beach of Castellammare del Golfo, and roughly 40 minutes by car from Palermo Airport (about 45 minutes to Trapani). This family-run, pet-friendly base puts Erice, Monreale, Segesta and Selinunte within easy reach.

A village-style hotel built with local stone, it spreads across terraces and gardens full of cactus and Mediterranean scrub. Rooms have private entrances and shared verandas or patios, country-style décor, air conditioning, independent heating, satellite TV, mini-bar, safe and private bathroom; some rooms are accessible. Expect starry nights, golden countryside mornings and a relaxed, rustic vibe.

Refresh in the freshwater outdoor pool with solarium, sun loungers, umbrellas and a chill garden setting. On-site parking, daily room cleaning, Wi‑Fi throughout the property, airport shuttle and concierge services keep things easy. Small pets are welcome and smoking is allowed in designated rooms and areas.

Free Wi‑Fi in rooms and common areas and on-site parking are available. The hotel offers an airport shuttle and has wheelchair access plus some accessible rooms and designated parking spaces.

The Grotticelli Restaurant sits at the top of the village with wide bay views and serves Sicilian specialties and traditional national dishes paired with local wines. Options include breakfast, half board and full board; there’s also a reception bar and an air-conditioned dining room for relaxed meals.
