Fazio B&B turned out to be the perfect choice for our family's short stop in Sciacca. A lovely, comfortable, immaculately kept, place with beautiful, spacious rooms each decorated in a unique decor. Conveniently & contrary to a previous report, there is a small elevator to reach the upper floor. Breakfast is included with the very reasonable price of the room & offers incredible Sicilian pastries, breads and other options such as fruit, ham, & pizza to tempt your palate. While dinner is not offered here, the restaurant right next door is a great option with one of the best meals we had in the city. Many other great restaurants are also within easy walking distance. The location is actually ideal, as it is on a little side street close to the historic district and a short walk to view the amazingly beautiful Mediterranean Sea. The owner/staff are warm and helpful and make you feel like you are coming home to visit family! Aldo was also very kind to help arrange a private taxi to tour Mt. Kronio and other parts of the city not easily reached on foot. A huge thank you everyone at Fazio B&B & to Aldo & Pamela, especially, who made our visit so enjoyable.

“Great Location”

Fazio B&B was very centrally located. Pay parking very near. The B&B was clean. Room was small and bed was just OK. Nice breakfast each morning with a nice selection. They don't take American Express which is a bad thing.

“In the middle of Sciacca a very good b&b”

It was suggested by a friend from Sciacca. It’s located just behind Porta Palermo. You don’t need to get the car to visit the town or to eat/drink. Room and bathroom are very spacious with a nice small terrace. All the hosts we met were very kind with us. And the breakfast is full of fresh things … lisää

Room and bathroom are very spacious with a nice small terrace. All the hosts we met were very kind with us. And the breakfast is full of fresh things every day. Maybe parking could be difficult since the b&b it’s located in downtown.

“Great facility, but other things not so much”

Clearly this review is an outlier. Yes, Fazio is a classy place with a fine breakfast, but what it lacks, given our experience, is the level of customer service expected at such an establishment.

Clearly this review is an outlier. Yes, Fazio is a classy place with a fine breakfast, but what it lacks, given our experience, is the level of customer service expected at such an establishment. Here is what happened: we were traveling by car and arrived in Sciacca around 2:30. We found Fazio B&B, but the door was locked and the lobby was dark. I pressed the buzzer several times. No response. Finally I phoned. The gentleman who answered told me rather bluntly to come back at 4. When I asked where we should park the car in the meantime, he said he'd answer that question at 4, too. Granted, check-in time is 4, but previous experiences arriving early at a hotel or B&B have been that there is often a room that is ready. At the very least, they offer you the chance to leave your luggage until you can actually go to your room. And to not even give guidance regarding parking? Frankly, this seems the antithesis of Italian hospitality and certainly colors our opinion of Fazio B&B. Furthermore, the online impression they leave of free parking is somewhat misleading. Street parking is close to impossible, and the parking lot they suggest is free only from 9pm to 8am. It's only about three blocks away and it's not expensive, but it does mean that someone needs to hoof it there by 8 in the morning to be sure to avoid a ticket. Were we to rate the B&B only as a facility, we'd give it a higher score, but these other aspects strike us as equally important.
