  A Once-in-a-Lifetime Dream Wedding in Sicily

  21 Jan 2026

  Hotel Baglio La Porta gave us the wedding of our dreams — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.We hosted our wedding dinner here after getting married at the church in San Vito Lo Capo, and from the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The private event room overlooking the ocean is absolutely breathtaking. The view of the Zingaro coastline combined with the most incredible golden-hour sunset created the most romantic, intimate, magical, and elegant atmosphere we could have imagined. Our sunset photos are unreal.The private room comfortably holds up to 50 guests — we had about 35 people, and it was the perfect size with plenty of room to dance. The space was exclusively ours, which made the evening feel incredibly special and personal. We were able to play our own music The hotel handled the entire setup seamlessly. We began with appetizers on the patio at sunset, then moved inside for dinner. Every single course was outstanding — truly some of the best food we had in Sicily. The shrimp risotto was unforgettable and a favorite for many of us. The meal included multiple courses, and by the end everyone was happily full and raving about the food. They were also extremely accommodating with dietary needs — one of our guests has a severe nut allergy and was given his own personalized menu, which gave us complete peace of mind.The service was relaxed, perfectly paced, and attentive without ever feeling rushed.Planning a destination wedding from the United States can be stressful, but Antonio made everything effortless. My biggest worry was whether the venue would live up to the photos and whether everything would be prepared — it was better than perfect. Antonio helped me plan every step via email, always responding promptly despite the time difference. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were exceptional.They even allowed us to come the day before to set up our personal touches — photos, name cards, and details that made the evening feel truly us.Hotel Baglio La Porta is not only the perfect venue for small, intimate weddings, but also an incredible hotel for romantic travel even without a wedding. The views, food, service, and atmosphere are unmatched.If you are dreaming of a romantic, elegant, intimate wedding in Sicily — or simply an unforgettable stay — this is the place. We will cherish this experience forever.

  A Hidden Gem. Perfect for a Grown-Up Escape

  27 Jul 2025

  We’ve just spent three nights at this beautiful hidden retreat and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Escaping the children for some much-needed adult time, this place was the perfect spot to relax and recharge.From the moment you arrive, the aesthetics are stunning, stylish and thoughtful throughout the hotel. The food was absolutely incredible: fresh fish daily, an excellent wine list, and very reasonably priced champagne. We spent most of our time around the pool, soaking in the breathtaking views with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.The staff were warm and friendly, occasionally things got a little lost in translation, and their directness might catch us more reserved Brits off guard, but honestly, that’s part of the charm and the cultural difference. Overall, they were wonderful.Locally, there are plenty of hidden beaches to explore, some lively, others more peaceful. I’d definitely recommend a trip to Scopello; it’s absolutely stunning and well worth the visit.I felt genuinely sad to leave this place, which says it all. If you're even slightly considering booking, just do it. You won’t regret it.

  Stunning setting, badly managed, poor guest experience.

  02 Jul 2025

  The location is breathtaking with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. However, the guest experience falls short. Dinner was basic, lacked cooking skill, and was overpriced. Breakfast was just okay, but service was poor, and simple items like crêpes or omelettes carried hefty extra charges. Housekeeping only happened after I requested it. Staff were polite but seemed undertrained for a hotel of this level, and management’s response to feedback was defensive rather than helpful. If you’re booking just for the scenery, it delivers — but for food, service, and value, this hotel missed the mark for me. Geocharme Luxury Collection, Direttore generale at Hotel Baglio La Porta, responded to this review Dear guest,we thank you for choosing Baglio La Porta, and we can only respond by expressing our regret regarding your comments. We realize that sometimes, although very rarely, the quality of our services and cuisine does not meet the expectations and tastes of our guests.

  Should be so much better, have standards slipped ?

  01 Jul 2025

  The Good- the view and location are stunning, as are the main buildings, pool, gardens and restaurant area. The not so Good…What lets it down is how the place really is. A miserly attitude to aspects of how the Baglio la Porta is run considering they class themselves as a little upmarket. Eg Only 1 pillow, pay for an extra beach towel, we only ate once in their restaurant, disappointing dinner, the amount of fish in seafood pasta was microscopic, tuna with salad, was a few pieces of salad out of a packet. The deserts were a joke, cream every which way. The young waiting staff were good not to blame at all, comes back to management and the chef. We booked our room 6 months prior and were given the room adjacent to the kitchen. We soon found out that as well as the extractor fan going nonstop, banging of pots was easily heard through the wall to 10pm. The staff stood next to our entrance and smoked. Also in the morning. Internet was excruciatingly slow. To sum it up no real response from management, we heard similar comments from others while we were there. We left feeling what a great spot it is but disappointed in the experience.

  A magical property in the hills of Sicily

  28 Jun 2025

  We’ve just returned from a fantastic few days at Baglio La Porta – our first visit to Sicily.The hotel is set in a beautifully restored old building, sympathetically extended with modern facilities. Our room was in one of the newer sections and came with a breathtaking view of the mountains, effective air conditioning, and an excellent rainfall shower.The standout feature for us was the pool area. It’s honestly the most stunning I’ve ever seen – the setting alone rivals any five-star hotel I’ve visited. The water stayed at a perfect 29 degrees throughout our stay, and the view across the bay was spectacular.We also want to highlight the staff, who were unfailingly friendly, warm and helpful. On our final morning, they even arranged for us to have breakfast slightly earlier so we could make a smooth departure for the airport – a much-appreciated gesture. Breakfast was excellent too, by the way. There were some additional paid options (fresh omelettes, pancakes or smoothies) but we didn’t think it was necessary as the included options were extensive.The location is around a 12-minute drive from the main free car park in San Vito Lo Capo. The first journey up the winding mountain road feels a little hair-raising, but it’s absolutely worth it for the peace, views and sense of escape you get at the hotel.If we had any minor criticisms, they’d be that parking can feel a little tight at times, though we always found a space. It seems some guests arrive from a sister property in the evening and then depart again, which helps free up spaces. We’d also note that while the on-site restaurant is excellent, it’s priced quite a bit higher than restaurants in town (22-27€ per course). We found ourselves holding back slightly on evening orders to avoid running up a large bill. That said, the aperitivi with a view were a real highlight.All in all, a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, with exceptional staff and surroundings. We’d love to return. Geocharme Luxury Collection, Direttore generale at Hotel Baglio La Porta, responded to this review Dear guest, thank you for this wonderful review in which you describe our Baglio La Porta in great detail and, above all, highlight your overall sense of well-being during your stay at the hotel.We are delighted that your experience was a positive one and we hope to welcome you again as our guest.
