Le Vele

My daughter and I had a fantastic time in Sicily, and Le Vele provided us with an affordable and central location for us to explore the island. Carmello was a fantastic host and used Google translate to communicate with us during our stay. He did his very best to be helpful and accommodating. This family-run B & B is small: 3 rooms upstairs. There are two small but nice seating areas outside in the front and the back of the property, and not much of a lobby. Free Wifi is included but you must ask for access. Our room had a private bathroom and two beds that were extremely comfortable. The AC worked very efficiently. The rooms and entire hotel were very clean. The breakfast was included and Carmello made delicious coffee to order for each guest. We had pastries and yogurt each morning, and there were other breakfast foods available. My only suggestion is that the room could use some updating of the overhead lighting and the bathroom fixtures. There is close proximity to a public beach within a 5 minute walk of the hotel. It was a wonderful little beach with fewer people than some of the popular beaches nearby. A pool club is nearby but they charge extra for admittance, so we chose to go to beaches around the island instead. There is a small restaurant down the road which had pretty good food -nice bruschetta, grilled veggies, salads and more. All in all, if you are looking for an authentic Sicilian adventure in an area that is not touristy, then this is a perfect jumping-off point for nearby attractions. Make sure you rent a car for your stay. Thanks Carmello and family for creating a warm and inviting place to stay in fabulous Sicily!
