Splendid Hotel La Torre

Monello beach is about a 30 minute drive from Palermo, making it a good place to stay after/before the airport. This hotel has large, clean rooms and a nice pool. 10 minute walk to the beach and into town to eat. Beautiful ocean views.

A nice place to stay if you plan on exploring mondello and the surrounding areas. The food at the hotel restaurant is very good, and the restaurant itself is usually pretty calm compared to other places in the vicinity. The pool area is a little run down/barebones, but i enjoyed my stay.

I have stayed at this hotel with my family during August. We booked a family room with a balcony and sea view and that's exactly what we got. I highly recommend to spend the few extra quid because the view is absolutely stunning. Our room was spacious with a little fridge, which came handy. The room was cleaned daily with a fresh towels each day. Breakfast is buffet style and contains everything you need.
Our kids especially enjoyed the pool facilities. You can choose from 3 pools or you can access the sea from beside the pool area. There is not a sand beach around the hotel, only a small beach with rocks but it didn't bother us. There are sand beaches within a short walk from the hotel, some public free of charge or private for an extra fee for those who would be looking for one.
Despite some bad reviews about this place we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is unreal. Perfect sea views from our room and most of the hotel. AC works great. Has a beautiful pool and private swimming cove. We loved spending our day here compared to going to mondello beach. Highly recommend!!

Don’t forget expect much from the inside, its a older hotel with little renovation. However, the main draw for this hotel are the outdoor amenities! There are 3 pools! One pool for the hotel and a “private” public pool on the other side of the mini mountain. All the pools are saline and for the public pool you will be required to have swimming caps. There is hotel access to the water which is just a rock landing. However, the water is a bit choppy there. On the other side of the mini mountain is not only a gorgeous view but a beautiful beach with crystal clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

I highly recommend staying here but not for the hotel, for the beach and the pools. Its a few minute bus ride to the main Mondello beach.

Too many people take the time to write negative comments in rage. It’s important for me to share the beautiful time i shared here. This hotel is the best kept secret. They have private ocean access, a stunning pool with a pool side bar and astounding views. Most english speaking people are upset that the world does not revolve around them, if you try and speak Italian the world opens up for you here. My girlfriend and I are already planning to come back to this very hotel next year. The cleaning staff came everyday and restocked our room to perfection. The front desk helped us get bus tickets, told us when the beaches get busy. We couldn’t have had a better stay if we tried. It was so beautiful to see so many Italians staying here! For us that is how we know its good. A warm thank you to the hotel for treating us so well! Such a charming stay, we almost never wanted to leave the pool side
