Amazingly beautiful place! You can see how much effort the owners put in making the place looks so cozy as it is. We've spent 3 nights there and everything was top notch. Each corner tells a different story and connects so well together. Also the staff is super nice. And excellent location for scenic views, hiking... Could not wish for more.

By far the best hostel I've stayed in and one of the most unique - such a friendly staff and a great guest community. It felt like staying at a friend's beach house rather than a hostel! They had everything available, towels, laundry, umbrellas, offered in-house activities and helped organize excursions. I will definitely be back next time I'm in San Vito - thanks Timbuktu!

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff”
It was very cozy hostel, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere/decoration was also very nice exactly like on the photos. There were daily activities you could sign in or choose from. We had our own room with private bathroom so it was not even like a regular hostel but sure as for pricing it was more expensive. This was probably the only place out of the 5 we stayed in Sicily that I would book again. Also I want to point out that the room had a very nice smell, and a window on the ceiling.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Induction on arrival with the staff was helpful. The kitchen was great. The outdoor area also great. Planned activities such as family dinner were fabulous. Wifi was good. Provided water (with contribution) to avoid plastic consumption. Very clean! Thoughtful consideration of hostel life - eg could sit on the bottom bunk without hitting your head, curtains around bed, charging points for every bed, side table, hanging spaces, outdoor areas to hang cothing. Umbrellas to hire. Donated goods space.

PLEASE do not think twice and book your stay at this amazing hostel <33 I can write a lot about how central, clean and cool the place was, however the main thing I'd like to highlight are the incredible people you will get to meet!! From the receptionists to the cleaning lady, all of the staff were super sweet!! Moreover, this hostel attracts the best travellers; I can't wait to go back!!

Cosy and vibrant. Lovely doggo on premises. Everything seemed pretty clean. The nearest parking was a bit of a walk, but it wasn’t much of a problem.
