B&B TAM Casa Vacanze Cinisi Sicilia

Great place to stay. Not much to do in Cinisi ,so you need a car.

The occasion was a small gathering of cousins with roots in the Cinisi area. TAM Casa Vacanze was recommended to us by other family members who’d stayed there before. We weren’t disappointed. The building describes itself as “shabby-chic”, and the building itself is 200 years old. It’s obvious that a lot of work has been done, modernizing the structure without losing its old world charm. The room was spacious and beautiful. The bathroom was the same. Our room had a balcony and I really enjoyed opening the balcony and enjoying the cool of the morning. There was a beautiful second story terrace where we spent evenings enjoying local wines and each other’s company. The breakfast featured fresh made espresso and cappuccino, fruits, yogurt, and pastries. Staying at the TAM is definitely not like an impersonal hotel experience. Instead it’s like being a guest in someone’s home, Nino and coworkers made up all feel like family. It was a lovely location and a memorable experience. I would recommend the TAM to any visitor to the Cinisi area.

We arrived at 12:30pm for check in. The front door was locked and there were no instructions on how to access the lobby. We rang the bell and knocked for about 10 minutes. No one came. We waited on the narrow street with our luggage until another guest walked out and opened the door for us. We walked into the empty lobby and looked at an empty welcome desk. We finally found a business card on the desk. We called the numbers. The first was disconnected. The 2nd was answered by a gentleman who shared he'd be over shortly. 15 minutes later, he arrived and asked us to pay before entering our rooms (They charged an extra 10 euro above what our initial reservation was for 'fees.') We booked two rooms for adults and kids. The room in the main bulding was spectacular. Exactly like the website pictures and what we expected. The other room was actually an adjacent facility and was nothing like the pictures. The AC downstairs did not work making the rooms unusable. We called and told it'd be fixed. It was not. The beds in the master were a twin and a child's princess bed (see pic). There was debris, ants, broken glass, random nails, broken shower spigot, trash in the appliances. The shower had very little water pressure. The front door had to be wrestled open There was a bag of used shoes in the master bedroom. The kids room had no AC. When we asked about other options, we were told this was all they had. We had sent messages via website and called ahead of time to arrange a shuttle. When we arrived, we were told that they'd have to take us in two trips or get another car. They also requested to be paid 80 euros in cash separate from the hotel bill. During our stay, we did not see anyone working the lobby. We had to call multiple numbers to find someone to help. These and various other negative elements made us feel unwelcomed. Moreover, we felt deceived as the pictures on the website only showed the beautiful rooms, not the room we were given (see attached pictures.)

We stayed at the TAM Casa Vacanze the night before an early flight out of Palermo airport. It worked out perfectly. What a lovely property. The host is charming and very helpful. He made sure that we were well fed and got us to the airport as promised. The rooms are lovely and there is a breakfast room with coffee, fruit and snacks. The four of us highly recommend this hotel.

Booked the hotel due to flight cancellation, what a little gem. The hotel is stunning inside, shame I wasn’t there longer. Owner collected us from car rental office, also managed to drop us to airport for early morning flight, (for fee) The town was very cute, unfortunately couldn’t get any food due to being festa, as all restaurants were closed so that was a pain! TAM is listed as b&b but should be boutique hotel, can imagine in summer it’s stunning on the little terrace. We were to early for breakfast but it looked like a beautiful place to eat. Only thing missing from room was tea and coffee making facilities which would have been good, but there was bottled water. Would defiantly stay there again, and thoroughly recommend it.

This place is a 10. It’s a restored mansion done expertly. The price was a steal. We were there because of its proximity to the airport so I can’t talk about the area. It was the loveliest place we stayed in Sicily. The breakfast was nice in a quaintly restored dining room. It is close to the airport and the owner will drive you there. Just know that if you’re there off season as we were, you will have to call the owner to let you in. He came in under 10 minutes. This place is a show stopper.

The rooms in this quaint B&B in the middle of a residential neighborhood of Cinisi (pronounced Chin'isee) are, in their own words, "shabby chic." The shabby refers to the retention of old structures. The chic is that they are modern. However, while they advertise that their front desk is open from 9am to midnight, we NEVER saw anyone there. Never. Ever. The only personnel we ever saw were at breakfast and when we checked in--and only THEN because we called. They also advertise that they will help you with tours and sightseeing. NOT. It's a lie. They also advertise a shuttle to the airport. Sure, if you reserve it a day in advance and pay them 30 Euros to get you there. The breakfasts were unimpressive, even for a continental breakfast. In short, nice place if you don't need anything other than a bed and bathroom.

Chambres très spacieuses et confortables mais odeur forte d humidité au rez-de-chaussée, ainsi que le linge ...petit coup de cœur pour la décoration de l'hôtel , le petit déjeuner démarre a 8h et est servit par Giovanna et Sara qui sont très agréables et souriante😉🤩🌞 petit déjeuner continental varié (croissants ,pain de mie, biscottes, beurre , confiture, yaourts , fruits ,...)suffisant dommage qu il n y ai pas de pain frais !! Séjour agréable dans l'ensemble , belle terrasse à l étage. Je recommande !!!

Nous avons fait des vacances en famille à 20 personnes. Les chambres étaient très confortables. Frigo et terrasse pour se détendre. Giovanna et Sarah étaient à nos petits soins pour s'occuper de nos petits déjeuners et nos chambres. D'ailleurs MERCI à toutes les deux et gardez votre sourire ! L'emplacement est sympa avec des commodités à côté comme un petit magasin, une laverie et de la restauration rapide. Prenez le temps d'aller à Terasini, où vous trouverez des restaurants et une jolie place.
