Tenute Baglio Passofondo

Excellent hotel! Beautiful and the cooking class with Giovanna was amazing!

A hidden gem! The service, the location and value make this an exceptional experience. Go- you will not regret it.

This hotel was beautiful, but to call itself luxury is a bit of a stretch. The differentiating factor between luxury and non-luxury hotels is not just in the quality of the facilities, but in the service - and that’s where this hotel was lacking. There was no one to help with bags, €5 charge for pool towels, no food or beverages or even water available outside of breakfast, no one asking if you needed anything, literally the service level was nonexistent. The staff were perfectly pleasant, just not there to provide you with anything except the bare minimum. The little things that feel luxurious don’t cost a lot - free coffee pods in the room, towels and water at the pool, a glass of prosecco to apologize for the noise - but they go a long way in differentiating the true luxury places from those that are merely pretending. There was also a big event with dancing and DJ and loud music that ran till midnight that we were not informed of until we arrived. No apologies were given, we were told “it’s just a meeting”. In a hotel this small, where the sound carries through the entire space, perhaps hotel policy should be that events need to buy out all the rooms and not just the public spaces. I’m sure the people in gowns would prefer not to have guests in swimwear doing cannonballs into the pool anyway. They get an extra star for the extremely sweet cat Sergio who was single handedly bringing all the warmth and service one would expect from a luxury hotel.

We loved this place. Yes, it was intended to be a remote agricultural destination as we were settling in from jet lag, but it was absolutely beautiful, amongst the vineyards. We had a rental car which made getting to and from the property that much easier. On that note, a rental car would probably be a requirement. we enjoyed day trips to surrounding towns, and the food on site was excellent. Breakfast in the morning was a wonderful spread of regional dishes, continental breakfast style. The pool was a nice touch with how hot it was this time of year, the property was beautiful though. The staff was beyond welcoming and accommodating, the Sicilian cooking class and wine tasting add ons we did felt like visiting our Sicilian grandmother at her home!

This was out of the property’s control, but it was SO hot outside.

Great property! Very gorgeous location and a comfortable room. 15 mins drive from Alcamo and an hour from Palermo. There’s no restaurant on site, you have to pay €90 to make sure a private chef cooks for you that day which is inconvenient. There is also no elevator on the property. The spa service was mediocre

A very stylish beautiful hotel away from the city. The staff is very friendly!

The room has only one window. This is because of the the old style of the building. Normally it's not a problem.

Beautiful facilities and very comfortable bed.

In room fire place didn’t work and jacuzzi wasn’t warm. Also, being charged for coffee pods in the room seemed ridiculous.
