VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia in Sampieri, open June–October.
Perched on Sicily's southeastern coast near Sampieri, VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia commands sweeping views of the Ionian Sea and golden limestone cliffs that drop dramatically to pristine beaches below.
The all-inclusive resort spans 50 acres of Mediterranean gardens and private shoreline, offering both clifftop ceremony spaces with unobstructed water vistas and beachfront reception areas.
Direct access to secluded coves and a sophisticated spa facility complete the coastal luxury experience.
„+“: The hotel is set in a wonderfully lush and green area, with a wide, clean sandy beach that’s perfect for relaxing. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though they could use a little refresh. The staff were always friendly and ready to help, which made our stay even more pleasant. We absolutely loved the buggy service that takes you right to the beach every 10–15 minutes — such a thoughtful touch! If you enjoy walking, you can reach the beach on foot, but be prepared for about a 2 km stroll. Dinners were truly delightful, with plenty of delicious and varied dishes to choose from. Breakfasts were simpler and the same each day, but you’ll still find all the basics you need to start your morning well. „-“: If there’s anything we would suggest improving, it would be the evening entertainment. While the singer had a lovely voice and played the electric guitar beautifully, the program was exactly the same every night. We believe most guests would really appreciate a bit more variety. Another aspect we found less convenient was the dining setup. At both breakfast and dinner, you can’t serve yourself at the buffet — most of the food is handed to you by the staff, so apart from fruit, greens, and yogurt, you can’t just help yourself. Even the juices at breakfast were poured by a separate attendant. We were also not particularly fond of the single-use plastic cups. Although the hotel states it’s an eco-friendly choice, we feel that regular glassware would look far more elegant and pleasant — more in line with the standards of a higher-class resort.
