발리오 소리아 리조트 & 와인 익스피리언스

Baglio is a pretty peaceful resort nestled in the vineyards. In arrival it was unclear how to find reception from the car park but once found the staff were polite and helpful. Our room was advertised as having a balcony but no rooms have a balcony except the mountain suite which has a terrace. Our room was spacious with hanging space but no drawers. We stayed for four days and the Sky Bar and Swimming Pool are were both closed. The views from the Sky Bar are amazing but it is a long walk. The wine tasting and restaurant were excellent and beautiful but the menu was the same for starter and dessert. Wine pairing was great value but the a la carte was much pricier. The staff were excellent, friendly and very attentive. Breakfast was basic with bread, cheese and meats or pastry cake and fruit. The orange juice was delicious. We stayed for four days which was too long, one or two nights would be enough as nothing to do other than eat and drink. Good base for Salemi, Trapani, Erice Nubia and Marsala. We did get eaten alive by mosquitos and the birds are very noisy, we loved the birds but they may disturb you.

We stayed here at the end of the season and had the place largely to ourselfs. The staff had obviously been reduced so service was not the best but did not really impact our stay. The location is good, a short drive to major sites. Its also very peaceful and a beautiful location. Our room was large and comfortable but the windows are small - but there was a beautiful view. We ate one night in the resturant which was spectacular five star event. We had ond day by the beautiful pool before bad weather moved in. The only downside to this property is the lack of food options. It would have been nice to have simpler meal option.
