Portella di Mare Vacation Packages

Cleaning service was excellent. Parking was also good, but it was off season so there weren’t too many guests. The ambience around the pool was stellar with comfortable canopies beds and places to enjoy the sun. Breakfast was provided by the neighboring restaurant, and the woman who made omelettes could not have been more un-friendly! In fact, “omelette lady” has now become code between my husband and me for a person who is not nice. Our bed was too bouncy, but the room was spacious. We had a flood from the shower into the bedroom, and the staff told us not to worry about it and that it was “normal.” That struck us as strange, but we figured it was an Italian thing.

The drinking glasses were dirty most of the time. That was disappointing. The staff were lovely and pleasant. Dinner timings and options were limited. We were signature level and would have expected options for sea view, but those seemed to only be for the main building Food was okay.

Located 20mins from Palermo airport in a quiet neighbourhood is this lovely resort with an outdoor pool and a single tennis court. Choice of villas or rooms. Rooms were really comfortable and spacious with lovely amenities. Nice waterfall shower. The breakfast was nice - choice of cereals, extensive bakery range, fresh fruit and hot drinks. Dinner at the restaurant is a real gourmet experience with an excellent selection of wines with wonderful waiting staff. There is no direct beach access from the resort but it is a 10min walk. The hotel offer a 25 euro airport transfer which is cheaper than private taxis. I had to ask for a kettle and tea as not every room has them - they were really accommodating and brought it within minutes.

The villa is located a short drive from the town and also from the valley of the temples. The free onsite parking and quiet countryside around the villa made for a relaxing visit after a busy day of sightseeing. Our room was huge with a large balcony and view of the valley. King bed was very comfortable, there was also 2 single beds in the room so it would be perfect for a family. The peacock, donkeys and goats on the property were fun to watch. Our host and property owner Dario was amazing. He made us feel very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was exceptional with homemade cakes and bread and a variety of choices. Loved our stay and highly recommend villa Diana.

From walking into the reception area to our room it's overall visual and physical
