I had a wonderful stay at this small, friendly hotel. The staff were genuinely welcoming from the moment I arrived and went out of their way to be helpful throughout my visit. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their local knowledge and kindness made a real difference. The atmosphere is relaxed, personal, and far more attentive than you’d ever get in a larger hotel. A great place to stay if you value warmth, comfort, and people who truly care about their guests. Highly recommended.

We chose to stay at this property to catch an early morning flight. The hotel is super convenient for this, and likely one of the only reasons they remain in business. First, we did not feel welcome at the property. The receptionist in the restaurant asked for our passports, copied the info, then handed us our room key. No pleasentries exchanged. Next, the interior and exterior of the building were much more dated than the photos. Our room had marks all over the walls, a hole in the bathroom door which had been filled with toilet paper, hair that looked to be mopped around on the bathroom floor, dirt in the bottom of the shower, plenty of calcium build up on the showerhead and shower base, a broken rusted handle for the shower, and a missing light cover for the bathroom light. We had read that the restaurant below was amazing, but after seeing how dirty and unmaintaimed the room was we decided not too push our luck, as who kmows what the kitchen is like. If you are in need of a cheap hostel, this is your place, as airport and beach access are easy.

The excellent and friendly staff of Il Pirata is their greatest asset. Such a pleasure to interact with these wonderful people! The food and dining experience is a close second. Wonderful food, comfortable environment, and great family of staff. Very convenient to the Palermo airport, and within easy day trips of many interesting and dramatic views of Sicily and Sicilian history. Il Pirata is very highly recommended!

Hostel. Ugh.

The two good things about the hotel is that it is 10 minutes to the Palermo airport and the restaurant on the ground floor is acceptable. The hotel room itself may be one step above a hostel. Just a flat sheet over a bare mattress with another flat sheet over that. With one very lumpy pillow. When I asked for another cover, I was given two very sketchy looking brown bedspreads. We were given to rough bath towels, and one hand towel. The elevator is an antique. And we couldn’t find the stairs. The elevator took his long is five minutes to arrive. And there are only the ground floor and the first floor. The ground floor is a restaurant in the first floor has rooms.

This is truly a bare. Ones hotel which would have been acceptable. However, it was further from the airport than I had thought which again no big deal. The awful part is the noise.

Great spot close to the Palermo airport. It is a little hard to find but GPS can get you there. The room is tight as most Italian hotel rooms are, but ours looked spotless and brand new or newly refurbished. The bathroom is really good with a shower stall that is larger than many you'll find in Italy.

A big plus is the fantastic restaurant on the ground floor which draws a huge crowd of locals. Service there is a little funky but the food is absolutely fantastic and a great value. If you love sefood you will love it. Check out the trolley of fresh seafood on ice where you can pick your own dinner. The official opening time is 8:00PM but you would be wise to get there 15 minutes early to beat the rush and maybe get some personal attention from the staff that gets overwhelmed when the local crowd comes pouring in.

Charmer close to airport

We stayed here to be close to the airport for our next day early morning flight. It is very close...about 15 minutes by car. The hotel is actually part of a restaurant and you check in and access your room through the restaurant. The rooms are basic, however extremely clean. All we needed. Area is wonderful and walking distance close to the beach. Our early flight meant we could not take advantage of the included breakfast, but the day of check in we enjoyed our lunch in the restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again.

Andrea Il Pirata hotel/restaurant

Il Pirata is a hotel/restaurant where the restaurant is the more important part of the establishment. It is located in the small town of Cinisi and is close to the Palermo airport (Punta Raisa), so many people use it as a place to stay before an early morning flight. It is a five minute walk to the beach. The rooms are simple, whitewashed and immaculately clean and the bed is comfortable, but this is no five star establishment. The restaurant downstairs serves wonderful fresh seafood (no meat dishes on the menu), so one reason to stay there is for the food. Wifi was rather weak. Breakfast was fine, but simple. The personnel are family and are very friendly, the food and wine are inexpensive and there is a family atmosphere about the place. We enjoyed it very much and would return. It is about a 10-15 minute drive to the airport.

We just needed a cheap place to stay somewhere near the airport and this hotel exceeded our expectations. The seafood restaurant on the first floor was delicious and authentic Sicilian cuisine. The girl working the front desk was very nice and even delivered us breakfast snacks the night before we left because she knew we had an early flight and that we would be missing breakfast. Overall a good stay.

Very close to the airport

We chose this B&B for proximity to the airport and it is very close. It was difficult for us to find when we came through town, but directly from the airport it would probably be easier to find. If you were here for a beach vacation, this would be a good place to stay because it's a stone's throw from the water. Parking is available. They have a restaurant downstairs and rooms upstairs and there is an elevator which is a big plus. The rooms are very clean. The restaurant was nice and the food good, especially the seafood. Lots of locals frequent this place so you know the food is good. We would stay here again if we were going to the airport.

We had a lovely stay at Hotel II Pirata and the end of April. As we had a very early flight the next morning, the location was perfect. It was quite busy when we arrived (a bus of volley ball players) - but very fun to watch. The staff were amazing in turning over a full hotel from the athletes and very accommodating! We had a fabulous dinner that night (highly recommended). Since we had to leave at 5:00 am, no one was at the front desk, but assumed all went well with check out. Our room was above the parking lot, so a little loud, but otherwise - loved it. You have to have a meal there - the best! - Jack and Angela

Great for airport experience.

The hotel was clean and very close to the airport which was great for an early morning flight. The staff was helpful and nice. We arrived late and sat in the restaurant for a glass of wine and they gave us a nice plate of complementary tapas and didn't rush us out of the restaurant.

The room was small, but clean and had everything that one would need for a short stay.

The only downfall was the ride to the airport the next morning. The hotel manager called a cab for us the night before to get to the airport the next morning, which was very nice and the driver was punctual the next day. However, we were expecting a palermo city taxi and it was a guy running a tour company. As such, the ride to the airport seemed overly expensive and I would recommend asking about the rate before agreeing to the ride.

Hotelli-ravintola viihtyisä, kodikas, samalla suvulla pitkät perinteet, joten ravintola palveli illasta toiseen loistavasti huomioiden kaikki asiakkaat. Paikalliset viihtyivät myös. Ruoka oli loistavaa, meren antimiin erikoistuva, löytyi erikoisuuksia ja tuoretta. Hiekkaranta 4min kävelymatkan päässä, huoneen ikkunoista näkyi meri. Lapsiperheille hyvä vaihtoehto. Hotellihuoneeseen ei kuulunut äänet ravintolasta, vaikka asiakkaat viihtyivät italialaiseen tapaan pitkään. Bussi Palermoon löhteen 20min kävelymatkan päästä Terrasiinin kylästä. Taxi (tilava)lentokentälle 393493682896 , lentokentältä kalliimpi, hotelli varaa pyytäessäsi. Cinisin kylä pieni, ruokailu mahdollisuuksia, ostoksille Palermoon, Terrasiinin kylässä hyvä ruokapaikka Bacilico. Lentokoneet nousut ja laskut näkyvät ja kuuluvatkin, ei häirinnyt millään lailla. Ajankohtana pääsiäinen kauden alku, iltalialaisten juhla, erinomainen paikka nähdä paikallista elämää ja aurinkoa sopivasti. Vahva suositus. Kiitos ja terveiset henkilökunnalle ♡

A Cinisi, a due passi dal mare

Non abbiamo sperimentato a fondo come sarebbe stato restare qualche altro giorno a Cinisi per via di un soggiorno molto veloce e mirato, non rilassantissimo e utile al disbrigo di impegni vari, ma questo hotel comunque è risultato davvero strategico e capace di offrire al suo interno anche un notevole servizio di ristorazione a base di pesce prevalentemente, dai prezzi abbordabili. Per chi necessiti di servizi di pensione completa o mezza, ritengo sia una struttura ideale, un pò spartana forse ma comunque very ok.
