“A HOTEL THAT GETS EVERYTHING RIGHT”

I’ve never been able to say that about a hotel before. And we’ve stayed in a lot of very good hotels over the years.

I’ve never been able to say that about a hotel before. And we’ve stayed in a lot of very good hotels over the years. And yet that’s the case with the Giardino di Costanza: It really does get everything right. From the delightful welcome we received on arrival, to the beautiful, high-ceilinged, spotlessly clean, elegantly decorated junior suites (we had two, adjoining, and a third for my parents). The stylish terrace bar, the pristine pool, the effortlessly refined restaurant, the meticulously maintained gardens. This is a hotel that other hotels should aspire to be. But the absolute, most noteworthy highlight of this immaculate property? The staff. It would be unfair to name individuals, as every single member of staff was exemplary. Friendly, efficient, informed, engaging, able to make you feel that nothing - not one little thing - was too much trouble for them. And they created such a relaxed, welcoming, genial atmosphere, without the starched stuffiness of some other five star establishments. Each one of them is a credit to their trade. It was a pleasure to spend our holiday in such beautiful surroundings with such kind and capable people. Thank you all.

We stayed at Almar Giardino di Costanza Resort & Spa for 7 days half board through Secret Escapes. From start to finish our holiday was first class! We have never stayed at a place like it …beautiful surroundings, huge spacious tastefully decorated room, amazing staff, delicious food. All the staff were so friendly and helpful …the reception staff organised a private taxi for us to go on a late afternoon excursion to Marsala and to see the sunset at The Salt Mines. The spa staff advised which treatments would be best for us ..the treatments were brilliant. Well worth a visit. My husband turned 60 while we were there and the restaurant staff organised a cake for him!! Chocolate cake for breakfast …a first time for everything and it was yummy! Everything was immaculate…staff, the hotel, poolside, sun loungers, towel folding, spa facilities, and gardens. Food was amazing!! We have never had such a chilled holiday..we loved every minute. If you get the chance please go!

“Delightful Stay in an Exceptional Hotel”

The Almar Giardino di Constanza Resort & Spa was our second stop on our 10-day trip to Sicily. We had 3 nights here and should have saved the best until last - it was amazing.

The Almar Giardino di Constanza Resort & Spa was our second stop on our 10-day trip to Sicily. We had 3 nights here and should have saved the best until last - it was amazing. We stayed in a Garden View Junior Suite and our rate included Breakfast. From the minute we drove up to the hotel to the minute we left, we were treated so well. On arrival the porter unloaded our luggage while we checked in. We were shown straight to our room and our luggage was already there. The car had also been parked for us. The room was large and luxurious and the bathroom was exceptional. Each morning we returned after breakfast to find that the room had been cleaned already - very efficient. Breakfast was buffet style and taken on the terrace. We were greeted enthusiastically each morning by all of the staff. The breakfast selection was good as was the coffee and the request for an extra shot in my wife's cappuccino was remembered the next morning. We had lunch by the pool on two occasions both of which were excellent. On the second occasion we opted to share a Club Sandwich due to the size of the portions and this was not a problem. In fact, nothing was a problem at this hotel! We had dinner on our first and last night and both meals were exceptional, as was the service. We also sat outside the bar area for pre and post dinner drinks and again, the service was excellent. The bar prices were high but not unexpected given this level of hotel. The pool area was a delight with plenty of umbrellas and towels. The additional service of chilled water melon in the afternoon was very welcomed as was the poolside bar service. The Reception Staff were always on hand to help, especially on the evening we had problems with our return taxi from Mazarro del Vallo. The taxi driver didn't arrive and when we called there was a language barrier. We called the hotel and the lady on reception dealt with it immediately. In addition, my wife had left her sunglasses in the taxi on the outward journey and the Reception Team retrieved them the following day. They were so helpful. As already stated, all of the staff at this hotel are excellent but we would like to give a special mention to our waiter Felippo who was so attentive and friendly. Also, a mention for Antonio who makes a great "Maestrale" (Limoncello Spritz)!

This is a fabulous spa hotel in a very peaceful location with excellent facilities on site, all that you would expect of a 5 * hotel. The pièce de résistance is, without a doubt, the Staff who were consistently friendly, helpful and genuine...only once before have we experienced such outstanding service in a hotel; from the front desk and Spa staff and those we interacted most often with in the dinning room...Antonio, Philippo, Salvatore, Maria & Roberta but all staff were excellent and we felt valued and welcome. Another reviewer said they felt like part of the family and that is a very good analogy. We were here for 9 days, half board and would certainly recommend this option, the food is excellent, plentiful and superbly presented. We were particularly impressed that our wedding anniversary was acknowledged with a delicious decorated chocolate cake after dinner...very much appreciated. We chose not to hire a car as our intention was simply to relax, if you wanted to see more of Sicily you would need a car but we were happy to just enjoy the facilities of the hotel with a visit to the hitel private beach. Thoroughly recommend for a relaxing break in the sunshine with superb food and truly excellent staff.
