Bottom Line

This mid-size, four-pearl hotel has a modern, resort-like feel with a number of amenities, including a beautiful pool area, a large restaurant, a spa, and sports fields. The inland location means it’s necessary to have a car, though the property is also central to local destinations, including the ancient city of Erice, about 30 minutes away. In the summer, a shuttle takes guests to the beach. Rooms are clean and modern; some have private balconies and whirlpool tubs, but the decor isn't all that memorable. This is a good choice for those who want a convenient and quiet holiday while keeping costs low with freebies like Wi-Fi, parking, and breakfast.

Oyster Hotel Review

Villa Zina Park Hotel

Scene

Large, resort-like complex with old-fashioned charm

Villa Zina Park Hotel is expansive and modern, with a bit of old-fashioned Sicilian charm. The spacious lobby has comfortable seating areas and displays of jewelry and other souvenirs. Clusters of brown leather sofas provide a spot to sit and peruse Italian magazines displayed on a leather coffee table with a glass top. The pool area is large, though not very shaded -- gradated green and yellow sun loungers add a colorful touch. The restaurant has a slightly impersonal banquet room feel, while the outdoor area, which overlooks the pool, is covered by a beautiful wooden overhang. There are big, slightly worn sports fields and flowering plants that round out the grounds.

Location

Inland and isolated, but can access coastal attractions via car

The Villa Zina is in Custonaci, an area off the northwest coast of Sicily that's about 55 minutes west of the Palermo airport. As there’s not much in the hotel's immediate surroundings, a car is essential and can be used to reach local attractions, including the ancient city of Erice, about 30 minutes southwest, and Marsala, which can be reached in an hour to the south. Parking at the hotel is free and plentiful.
