Relais Angimbé — Hotel in Calatafimi Segesta

This hotel is an old farm beautifully converted in a 4 - 41/2 star hotel. It is not set by the sea which is actually an advantage. You have to want to go there and the intention will be rewarded in every way. ||The hotel belongs to a family including a retired doctor and his wife who have handed over the reins to their welcoming daughter and her husband. The first impression on arrival is the scale of the premises until one remembers that barns had high ceilings. The main reception is an enormous tented internal courtyard about 100ft square (?) which serves as an area for dining in the summer and large events. A double door in cast iron leads outside to an large terrace and swimming pool. There is another high ceilinged enclosed dining room where breakfast is served and probably other meals during the winter months. The overwhelming feeling is one of space.||The hotel rooms are named after flowers and are of different sizes with bathrooms en suite. My bed was extremely comfortable and the room included every facility. ||We ate every evening at the hotel and can only applaud the considerate and ||attentive service and the sophisticated (but never pretentious) cuisine. Afte a long day out, we looked forward to returning to the hotel for supper. ||All in all I would recommend the hotel without hesitation to visitors looking for accommodation of high standard, a family atmosphere and some distance from the crowds. ||||The...

We just spent a wonderful 2 weeks here with our 2 children. The hotel is beautiful, excellent spacious rooms with high ceilings & are cleaned daily, great big pool and also a small one for children - the owners are informative and polite people.||||The hotel has just been handed back to the owners a few months ago as previous management did not maintain the hotel the past 3 years - this is why there are quite a few bad reviews from previous years but don't base your decision to stay here on those - I can tell you that it's quite the opposite.||||If I had some suggestions to improve it, I would do the following: change the sunbeds to something more comfortable, change the umbrellas to the latest design as the wind blows them into the pool (potentially dangerous), offer a better quality more interesting lunch as we preferred to go out for lunch, better control the wasps as it was sometimes difficult to eat with them swarming around us, especially the children. You should also consider planting some palm trees at the back of your pool to mask the motorway view!||||All in all, we had a great time and would...

We did not see the small "water not potable" sign taped to the left corner bottom of the mirror until the next morning. The staff said nothing about the water and nor does the establishment offer any bottled water except for what you pay for in the mini bar. If you don't have potable water, I feel 2 bottles of water should be provided. The sign needs to be bigger and centered on the bottom of the mirror to prevent this from happening to others. Well my husband drank more of the water than I did and was very sick for 2 days, ruining 2 days of his vacation, having to stay in bed. PROS: very nice place and staff otherwise. When we arrived we were very hungry, coming from the ruins, and the staff offered to make us nice sandwiches. Rooms nice and clean. I enjoyed sitting out in courtyard listening to the light jazz music in afternoon....
