The location was perfect for us, near the coast, which was 5 mins away in car and near several local highlights and places to visit such as Terme Segestane which was a natural hot spring/spa 10 mins in car, and Scopello a beauty of a cove location again 15 mins drive. Breakfast was amazing every morning, with the host bringing in fresh produce, fresh bread, cooking for you, and providing home made orange juice and coffee as well as a warm welcome. The breakfast is served on the top floor overlooking the mountain range. The host also allowed us to choose our room out of two choices and we were delighted with our choice of the suite which had an upgraded enlarged shower space as well as a unique bedspace.

Nothing! All was perfect for us! No negative feedback at all. The warm welcome when we arrived got us off to the perfect start to an amazing week.

I would like to start with the idea that we’ve never met such a person as Gaspare, the owner of the house. During our entire stay, he treated us as his friends, not to mention how much attentions he drew to us. He always mentioned that his guests are not just people that stay overnight. On our last day, he offered us his suite, so we enjoyed the best room in the house and every morning he would cook for us and baked his special Italian cakes. We truly enjoyed it and we recommend his B&B with our whole heart.

Had a lovely last night in Sicily here, before flying out from Palermo airport. 20min drive from the airport…easy and did not have to drive anywhere near Palermo itself (some crazy driving!) Gaspare and his wife were beautifully hospitable, and accommodated us with an early breakfast, with freshly made apple cake, gorgeous home made jams and lovely fresh eggs. Gorgeous seafood restaurant, in the old town, with lovely local wine. The B&B itself is immaculately clean and freshly decorated. Would not hesitate to come back here again.

Nothing!

The rooms were stunning and so well thought over. We stayed in the boat room and it was so cool. Amazing service from a family who care. I’m sorry I don’t remember the hosts names but the lady that checked us in was a wealth of information. Gave us great restaurant info, tips of parking in Castellammare del golfo and a great recommendation for thermal baths. In the morning her husband made us breakfast and we got to try all of his homemade jams and typical west coast dishes. Highly recommend!

A bedside table would be a great addition

If I could, I rate it 12 of 10! It looks so fresh, so new, every room has its own design dedicated to different typical sicilian things, our room was dedicated to Sicilian ceramics. Rooms have amazing mountain view, every room has balcony. Bed and pillows are very comfy (for some reason in all hotels in Sicily were very uncomportable pillows, but not here!). Breakfast is served on roof terrace (I added picture of the view from terrace and balcony), hostess bakes everyday something new, cappucino was very good. In the room there is a kettle, cups, tea selection, hair dryer. They let us to check-in at 9:00 in the morning! and offered for free cup of coffe and fresh buns with jam. Gaspare send us via WhatsApp useful information about restaurants and sightseeings, thanks to him we visited small town Erice on the hill. Hotel situated in quiet neighborhood, you can park your car on the street just behind hotel door. This is just one of the best hotels in my life!

What a truly wonderful stay we had. From the moment that we met Gaspare the owner we knew that this was going to be a special place to stay. He came to find us in his car at the bus station, gave us a tour of Castellamare and then warmly welcomed us into his home. Every guest was treated as a friend and nothing was too much trouble. We had the most delicious cakes and croissants baked by Gaspare that morning. Our favourite was the fresh apricot tart and the homemade lemon granita. The location was good for the bus station and supermarket. It was convenient for the town and coast without being in the main tourist area. The room and shower was airy and beautifully clean. Simply the best!

All perfect

Unique modern Sicilian design in all bedrooms- beautifully presented with real care and attention to detail. Gaspari (the host) is a legend, fully committed to guest happiness in every way. He makes fresh delicacies for guest breakfasts every morning which are served on a terrace with a stunning view of the mountains. A very convenient place for a stay to recover from a flight into Palermo (30 mins by car).

Nothing (A car is necessary to get into the lovely town of Castellammare)

Cocciu D'Amuri ('A piece of my heart') is the most delightful place to stay. The owner, Gaspare, has totally refurbished the Bed and Breakfast to the highest of standards. The accomodation and decor are Five Star, with so many interesting artifacts. Each of the 6 bedrooms has its own theme which has been meticulously planned and executed. Gaspare is an excellent baker and your breakfasts will include many of his home made delicacies, as well as fresh fruit and nuts from his garden. You will also find that he is an exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and helpful host, for whom nothing is too much trouble. He is passionate about Sicily and determined that you enjoy your time there. We would thoroughly recommend a stay. You will not be disappointed and, if you are anything like us, will leave with the firm intention to return. Thank you so much, Gaspare! Read less

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

we stayed in the town because we were hiking in the nearby Reserve which was great. Now - the building was new and all the rooms were designed and decorated by the owner/host. The results were spectacular in terms of materials, design, colors - I would hire him to design my home. really eye catching. The owner was really nice and accommodating. he also likes to cook so our breakfast was terrific. in terms of taste, ingredients etc.

The place was great - I wouldnt plan my vacation in the town but the reserve is a great hiking/beach experience and the town is the place to stay and this b and B was A+

We were 100% thrilled with our choice. If you are even considering booking at Cocciu D'Amuri, just do it. You will never find better hosts than Jaspare and his wife. The pictures of the B&B on website are exactly how it looks. Beautifully decorated in vibrant colors and very clean. The breakfast each morning was fabulous with homemade pastries and marmalades. Would definitely book again.

We had a car so could go to the restaurants down by the harbor. They are not within walking distance so keep that in mind.
