La Tela Di Penelope

Incantevole camera vista mare. Paesino davvero pittoresco :) ♥️ host gentile

The amazing view from the balcony makes this stay exceptional, mountains down to the sea with starry nights and a cool sea breeze during warm days made it hard to leave. The host was welcoming and helped promptly when needed. The facilities were good and everything clean. San Marco d’Alunzio is a beautiful hilltop town with nice people and very good food. I marked this stay on my map for a return in the future.

San Marco D'Alunzio is a secret gem. Don't expect touristy attractions or crowds. This is a TRUE Sicilian town where the locals all know each other by name and everything shuts down during "riposi". La Tela was lovely...it felt like staying in the home of a relative and the lovely ladies who work the tapestry shop & B&B couldn't have been sweeter! Our room balcony overlooked the charming street and we were right next to the church which meant hearing the bells every hour. Breakfast was included next door, simple but delicious choice of croissants, pastries, juices etc. Room was clean, decorative and had all essentials. Bed was comfy. Great Sicilian restaurants within walking distance like La Macina, Demenna and some local little bars. Churches, historical sights within 5-20min walks.

The toilet water pressure was a little finicky but overall all good.

Parking was within a reasonable walking distance.

False advertising, as her “breakfast included” claim consists of one coffee and one pastry at a nearby bar. That’s just not right. Very tight quarters.
