Baglio la Porta by Geocharme

Great hotel and location, the pool has a very nice view, the room is quite nice and clean, will stay again next time

I have had the best time here. The hotel is secluded, calm, charming and very pleasant. The views are extraordinary, breakfast great and service was excellent. I had a fig tree in my own private patio. It's well located to access the Zingaro natural park where the best beaches and walks can be enjoyed. Oh and I had a massage the best in a long time. If I was to return to that region I would definitely be back there.

Whilst a bit off the beaten track this is a lovely oasis.  Staff were excellent and attentive, food was excellent and the pool and rooms really nice.  Walking in the National park was fabulous, incredible wild flowers (April) and some of the small cove beaches beautiful if quite busy.

We stayed here as a family in August 2026. Starting first with the location, which is a bit of a drive up the mountain in San Vito, to get to this gem of a location, perching over the edge of the mountainside in a somewhat secluded part of the mountain. The drive is a bit difficult for those not accustomed to driving in one lane roads up and down a mountain. Asides from the drive, once you enter your welcomed into a very well renovated clearly old structure with a unique charm and beauty to it. There are only a handful of guestrooms in this property, so you immediately get a sense of the exclusivity of the property. You park your car, then walk through an old archway to get to the reception, with an adjoining bar area, and restaurant area overlooking the mountainside , going down to an infinity pool below overlooking the Mediterranean sea. The view here is worth it all. I don't believe I've ever stayed in a hotel with such a gorgeous view. The property is in a quiet spot, and so you can enjoy the surrounding nature of the mountain and the infinity pool thoroughly here. The room was decently sized but felt a bit cramped for a family of four. Very well equipped. Cell reception is quite poor in the area, but most people coming here would be looking to somewhat distance themselves from the real world for a few days. wifi is available and makes it easy to stay connected. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all delicious here, and somewhat price-matched to other higher end eateries in San Vito. The staff are very supportive and helpful and will help you book any excursions in San Vito if you need the help. The property is in the middle of nature, and we stumbled on local animals like boar and foxes at night while walking. This was probably the most interesting part and somewhat inconvenient part of our stay here, as the boar became somewhat defensive when we tried to approach it to get to the parking lot. Would definitely stay here again if I get the chance.

The hotel is so cool and so slick, blended into the hilltop - nicely hidden piece of paradise . . . The staff are really nice and the food and wine second to none Highly impressive 😎🇮🇹♥️🍸🍷

We’ve just spent three nights at this beautiful hidden retreat and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Escaping the children for some much-needed adult time, this place was the perfect spot to relax and recharge. From the moment you arrive, the aesthetics are stunning, stylish and thoughtful throughout the hotel. The food was absolutely incredible: fresh fish daily, an excellent wine list, and very reasonably priced champagne. We spent most of our time around the pool, soaking in the breathtaking views with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. The staff were warm and friendly, occasionally things got a little lost in translation, and their directness might catch us more reserved Brits off guard, but honestly, that’s part of the charm and the cultural difference. Overall, they were wonderful. Locally, there are plenty of hidden beaches to explore, some lively, others more peaceful. I’d definitely recommend a trip to Scopello; it’s absolutely stunning and well worth the visit. I felt genuinely sad to leave this place, which says it all. If you're even slightly considering booking, just do it. You won’t regret it.

The location is breathtaking with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. However, the guest experience falls short. Dinner was basic, lacked cooking skill, and was overpriced. Breakfast was just okay, but service was poor, and simple items like crêpes or omelettes carried hefty extra charges. Housekeeping only happened after I requested it. Staff were polite but seemed undertrained for a hotel of this level, and management’s response to feedback was defensive rather than helpful. If you’re booking just for the scenery, it delivers — but for food, service, and value, this hotel missed the mark for me.

The Good- the view and location are stunning, as are the main buildings, pool, gardens and restaurant area. The not so Good… What lets it down is how the place really is. A miserly attitude to aspects of how the Baglio la Porta is run considering they class themselves as a little upmarket. Eg Only 1 pillow, pay for an extra beach towel, we only ate once in their restaurant, disappointing dinner, the amount of fish in seafood pasta was microscopic, tuna with salad, was a few pieces of salad out of a packet. The deserts were a joke, cream every which way. The young waiting staff were good not to blame at all, comes back to management and the chef. We booked our room 6 months prior and were given the room adjacent to the kitchen. We soon found out that as well as the extractor fan going nonstop, banging of pots was easily heard through the wall to 10pm. The staff stood next to our entrance and smoked. Also in the morning. Internet was excruciatingly slow. To sum it up no real response from management, we heard similar comments from others while we were there. We left feeling what a great spot it is but disappointed in the experience.

words cannot express Was the best hotel accommendation ever, will write this up in a journal. Anxious to book for 2026
