The best youth hostels Sicily

Fascinating youth hostel, Piazza del Duomo, housed in a grandiose apartment with mouldings, floors and princely stuccoes. You are not used to sharing your dormitory or playing table tennis under high ceilings painted with 17th century Baroque frescoes . Numerous dormitories and double rooms with private bathroom. Each bed is equipped with a classic and USB socket, curtains and a locker. As a bonus: a nice decoration, a relaxed musical atmosphere, an excellent buffet breakfast and an incredible rooftop bar with a view.

It's not just a hostel here, but a community of travellers. For Marco, a globetrotter, opened his Timbuktu hostel in his homeland. He will welcome you in his colourful universe: instruments at your disposal, bookshop, world music in the background... Rooms: they are new and comfortable, dormitory as private rooms. Ultra-equipped common kitchen and terrace which precedes the beautiful garden with an organic vegetable garden. The activities are numerous: yoga, climbing, tour in a ghost village, Zingaro reserve, boat tours...

But what a beautiful house! One is surprised by the audacity of the place and the huge teak terrace that surrounds a hacienda-style house, flat on the roof. In the entrance hall, an old Fiat 500 is displayed under the staircase, while the room with its checkerboard tiling and its wall of assembled doors is impressive. The lounges mix baroque furniture and street-art. Vegetation is omnipresent both inside and outside. Very spacious dormitories with nice flooring and brand new, super comfortable bunk beds. Superb bathrooms.

Strategically located: right across the Gulf of Sferracavallo and between two natural reserves. Offers a beautiful panorama. Small bungalows are scattered in the park with a beautiful view over the sea. Very good address at affordable prices for minimum comfort.
