Very beautiful hotel, nice and modern infrastructure. Close by there are nice restaurants. It’s really in the middle of the town. This makes it also hard to get there (quite small streets - takes some skilful driving and navigating). We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace with jacuzzi.

Great hotel for a night
Hotel is lovely. Right on the square where there are local restaurants and bars. I wouldn't venture out of this area though as nothing else in the locality. Ensure you ask for directions to the hotel before if you are driving as satnav can take you on some very narrow streets

Wonderful hotel - super clean and stylish
Everything is super clean and brand new. We had three rooms and everyone loved their rooms and the hotel. As others have said, finding it the first time can be a challenge. I'd recommend following the signs rather than followng Googles crazy route. A great hotel experience overall

Beautiful hotel in an historic building!
The hotel was beautifully designed within the confines of an historic edifice. The hotel staff were amazing! They spoke English and were extremely helpful in answering our questions regarding directions and points of interest. Before we arrived they had sent a message on the easiest way to get to the hotel. The streets of Favara can get really narrow so the directions were a plus! It's located off a little square that has restaurants and shops and not too far from the main street which makes it easy to go to other towns. Up the street is a beautiful church that should not be missed! Overall we would highly recommend this hotel!

An excellent hotel, not so keen on the town
We spent three nights here and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The bedroom was large with a very comfortable bed. The hotel has been tastefully refurbished. Breakfast was good - we especially liked the freshly squeezed orange juice and the crema del pistacchio. Dinner was very good.

Hidden Gem
This is a short drive to the Valley of the Temples and, I think, a nice alternative to Agrigento. Favara is a reviving town and the drive in is a little daunting and seemingly desolate. The hotel is right off the main square, but your GPS will bring you in through some very narrow streets and turns. Go to the main square and walk up the street to the hotel and ask them to park your car. It will reduce your stress level. The hotel and its staff and restaurant are GREAT! See the Farm art collective with its restaurants, and visit the Almond Museum. We were there in the off season, so the main square was a little dead and not all the art collective restaurants were open. Still a highlight.

Gentile Cliente,Ci dispiace che il suo soggiorno non sia stato all'altezza delle sue aspettative, ma riteniamo assolutamente priva di valore una recensione che non spiega i motivi del malcontento. I giudizi servono sia per i clienti per farsi un'idea della struttura e dei servizi prima dell'arrivo o di un'eventuale prenotazione, sia per la struttura al fine di migliorarsi e rendere sempre più gradevole il soggiorno dei propri ospiti. Se davvero il suo soggiorno è stato così terribile sarebbe stato utile conoscerne le ragioni. Per quanto ci riguarda tale giudizio ha il solo di scopo di distruggere i sacrifici e gli sforzi che ogni giorno vengono fatti per la soddisfazione del cliente.

Mooi hotel in het.centrum van het dorpje. We hadden een schone mooie kamer met 2 douches. De airconditioning was matig. Het duurde echt een halve dag volcontinu draaien totdat de temperatuur aangenaam was. Nu was het buiten wel ruim 25 graden. We hebben dit gemeld en we mochten, indien nodig, een andere kamer krijgen. Uiteindelijk hebben we hier geen gebruik van gemaakt. We hebben 1 dag voor 1 uur de jacuzzi op het dak gebruikt (dit moet dus gereserveerd worden). Het bad was echter niet heel erg fris. Het stadje is klein en er zijn niet veel restaurants. Op het centrale plein kan je heerlijk zitten en een drankje en een hapje doen. Verwacht er alleen niet te veel van.

Modernt hotell med fyra stjärnor där takduschen inte fungerade, badkar fanns. Batteribyte krävdes för att safen skulle fungera. Nespressomaskinen slutade fungera efter en kopp och kylskåpet var strömlöst. God frukost och middag! Staden Favara, liksom stora delar av Sicilien, har enorma renoveringsbehov!

Dear Guest, We thank you very for your review. We are really sorry that you were not totally satisfied during your stay. It is true that Alba Palace Hotel is a new modern hotel, but little technical problems can happen everywhere. The most important think is to find a solution for each issue, like for you with the safe and coffee machine. Sicily and specially Favara are trying to restore the city and in particular the historical centers, but we know that the route is still long and we think that the effort should be appreciate. Best Regards
