Guests appreciate the blend of modern comfort and casual amenities, with two outdoor pools—including a children’s pool—and a well-appointed spa that promise relaxation after a day of exploring. Dining options include a restaurant serving Sicilian specialties and a bar ideal for unwinding with a drink.
Rooms provide air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, complementing practical services such as parking, laundry, and room service. The hotel extends its hospitality to families and pets, encouraging a welcoming environment for a variety of travelers.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Relax hotel is a great example of Sicilian family establishment, where one can feel like at home. Chef cook from Palermo surprise u every evening with variations of Sicilian cuisine. “Mezza pensione” is a good option, since it’s includes breakfast and supper ( 2 main courser, drink and desert). We stayed 5 nights. Of particular importance is the two pool available on the territory, small for children, great infrastructure. Personnel every day check cleanses. Location is a bit far from the public transport, Howver the silence is enjoyable for those tired of city chaos. In total, we highly recommend the place for family stay.”
“Had an amazing experience at the property....special thanks to hospitality of Mr @Frenchasco. Enjoyed the local cuisine to it's core. The most memorable of all dishes were the potato dippers and the pesto sauce freshly prepared and served with spegetti.”
