From the moment I stepped out of the car and encountered the view, everything about the Antico Cascina del Golfo exceeded my expectations. The room was new, clean, well-lit and extremely comfortable. And the infinity pool looking out over the Golfo del Castellemare was nothing less than spectacular. Two small but much appreciated touches were the excellent hair dryer (most hotel hair dryers are weak and ineffective) and the bountiful Sicilian breakfast. If it were located elsewhere, the hotel would be a very comfortable, attractively appointed and well run establishment. What makes the Antico Cascina del Golfo a memorably great place to stay is the stunning view and the way the hotel architecture makes use of the setting, so that at almost all times you feel as if you are in the most beautiful place in the world.

The only drawback that I encountered was the steep road leading up the hill to the Antico Cascina del Golfo. The road is no problem for guests with a car, but for those who, like me, come without a vehicle, getting to beaches and restaurants requires taking either a taxi or the 5-euro/person shuttle. You can walk to the town of Scopello fairly easily, but walking back up the hill, while readily doable, is a workout.

The view

No fridge, pantry in the room.
