A spacious 13-room property located in a small village, the immaculate Al Ritrovo is a good value option for those looking to escape nearby San Vito Lo Capo’s throngs of beach tourists, or to glimpse small-town Sicilian life. Rooms here are modern and even a bit stylish, while outdoors, guests will find an al fresco dining area and expansive rooftop garden deck, complete with covered seating and hot tub (though enjoyment of these areas is weather dependent). Guests will need a car to get to and from this location.

This small, family-run boutique hotel offers a very intimate Sicilian experience. Located right in the center of all the action in San Vito lo Capo, Hotel Riva del Sole is also only a block from the beach (in fact, some rooms have balconies with views of both the nightlife and the beachfront -- the best of both worlds). Each of the rooms is simply decorated with lots of colorful tile and basic, slightly hodgepodge furnishings, but travelers will appreciate the cleanliness and modern conveniences such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and mini-fridges. The free daily breakfast buffet is also a highlight! This very popular hotel sells out regularly so book early.

If you're looking for privacy and quiet, this value resort located in the hills between San Vito lo Capo and Casteluzzo will fit the bill. With an eight-room B&B and 33 separate apartment units on-site, guests can choose between personal service or total independence. The central pool and surrounding deck have striking views of the sea below with a rocky, mountainous backdrop adding to the location's appeal. Room interiors are unfortunately a bit worn, but the exteriors of the property are lovely. Travelers looking for a Sicilian vacation away from the crowds will appreciate the Residence Cala dell'Arena's more isolated location, though if you intend to do anything other than lie by the pool during your stay, a car rental is a good idea.

This 40-room hotel is a solid mid-range option across the street from the beach, with clean, homey, country-style rooms (though they can sometimes be a bit noisy or dark). The appealing open-air restaurant and cafe/gelateria are moderately priced for quality meals. Extras like faux rose petals sprinkled on the beds upon arrival, balconies and ocean views in some suites, and a lovely full-service spa help add a romantic feel to the property, though it's also popular with families. It's definitely one of the better options in San Vito lo Capo, but it may also be worth considering the Hotel Piccolo Mondo or Hotel Riva Del Sole.

El Bahira Camping Village isn't going to win any awards for presentation -- the two-and-a-half-pearl complex feels run down and parts are shabby. However, its setting overlooking the sea in a picturesque corner of Sicily is undeniably special, and there are plenty of sports and leisure facilities to keep everyone happy. Self-catering accommodation is basic but adequate, and there are family-friendly dining options on-site. El Bahira gets very busy in August, and rates shoot up, so you might want to aim for a little earlier in the year.

Located in the Valley of the Temples, the luxurious Hotel Villa Athena is in a prime spot for guests who want to be in the center of the famous UNESCO World Heritage site and don't mind driving a few minutes to get into Agrigento.

The three-and-a-half pearl Baglio Della Luna is a small property with a 13th-century watchtower at its core. There are 23 rooms divided between a foresteria (guest house) and the watchtower itself. Some rooms have jetted tubs and jaw-dropping views of the lush valley below. Those same fantastic views surround the hotel restaurant, known for its rather skimpy portions of classic Mediterranean fare. The overall vibe here is a bit dated, with lots of heavy, dark furniture, checkered floor tiles, and oil paintings in gilded frames. The hotel's true charms lie in its expansive lawns and gardens, handsome outdoor hot tub, and sunny stone courtyard. There's ample free parking nearby, a definite plus since a car is necessary for treks to town and local sites. Travelers should consider the Hotel Villa Athena, a similarly-priced property that's a short walk from the Valley of the Temples.

Consistently praised by travelers from around the world, the mid-range Terrazze di Montelusa is a graceful and historic mansion in the center of Agrigento that's been owned and maintained by the same family since 1822. There are only five rooms and suites, all of which are airy and spotless. As a smaller boutique hotel, there aren't a lot of features. A serene and plant-lined terrace is where an extensive, free breakfast featuring made-to-order omelets is served every morning and there's a pizzeria on the ground floor.
