Alba Palace Hotel

This is special place. If you're self driving, negotiating the mesmerising twists and turns in the tight lanes is well worth the effort. The location puts you right in the middle of what we felt was real Sicily, and only 20 minutes away from the Valley of the Temples. The hotel room was excellent: large, clean, great bathroom, very comfortable bed. All members of staff were very helpful and provided great service. The breakfast was very good. The real treat for us was the restaurant evening meal. Wonderful service and food.

Nothing.

We were very comfortable in superior double room 201. Very clean and quiet. Window view of decrepit neighboring buildings common to Favara was a weird “shabby chic,” given how handsome the hotel is. Shower pressure was strong and hot but water spilled into the bathroom. WiFi strong. Parking was provided at no extra cost by the hotel with valet service - a nice extra. Front desk staff (Rosonno) was very helpful. All other staff were friendly. Situated off the piazza in this sleepy, uninteresting town, the Alba has very good modern design and construction with excellent lighting everywhere. It’s 10 years old and in good shape.

They were aware that the self-operated coffee machine in dining room could not make drinks sufficiently hot. They really need to fix that. Our dinner food was ordinary tasting and expensive for the portion size, and the tables had no table clothes (whereas they did the previous evening).

Friendly welcome. An interestingly designed modern hotel slotted into the historic setting. Room and bathroom was clean, with comfortable bed, and good views of church dome! Restaurant staff friendly too, accommodating a vegetarian. Favara is an interesting town for its history, albeit not particularly set up as a tourist town. The hotel reception was very helpful in guiding us to the "Farm"

Despite hotel's directions, weaving your way into narrow and steep streets of this town was a bit of a journey, even for someone reasonably confident as a driver!

Everything the room had a beautiful wooden high ceiling, dim lights and a lot of space. The bathroom was made in stones and was very large. The room was so clean and had a subtle and fine smell. The hotel is carefully designed with an exquisite mix between modern and authentic design. Having a gourmet dinner at the rooftop restaurant facing the cathedral was the icing on the cake.

The mattress was too hard, I prefer softer beds.

The room was spacious and just so well thought out. We were lucky enough to have a close up view of the cathedral from our balcony, magnificent. The staff were exceptional, so helpful and friendly. . Breakfast did not disappoint, such a good selection of food and drinks. We had our evening meal in the hotel restaurant, delicious!!

The hotel is super, very comfortable, the staff are friendly, accommodating and go the extra mile to ensure that everything is perfect

It was the feast in Favara on that night so, very difficult to get to the hotel, plus the music played until 12.30.

Beautiful modern hotel - big rooms good architecture - good restaurant on site friendly staff- particularly head waiter in restaurant

Favara is a crappy town - dirty, hard to get around feels a bit unsafe

The modern architectural design of hotel and rooms is exemplary. A gem. Excellent food, breakfast & dinner. Perfect to visit Valley of the Temples, and hotel kindly sorted the car parking.

it was up to date and well constructed. a very old building that was refurbished with quality amenities.

It is a little difficult to find even with signs and Google maps but that is the nature of every place in a small Sicilian city.

Central location, quite town, nice friendly reception

diffcult to drive car, restaurant food is just ok hotel Homepage for restaurant marketing is too much.
