Absolutely stunning! Words cannot describe how glad we were to have found this outstanding gem in Scopello. We stayed for two nights and were able to check in an hour earlier as expected. The owners were very welcoming and provided us with useful information regarding recommendations, directions to the beaches and equipment like beach towels, snorkeling gear and umbrellas. The room was very clean and had a beautiful balcony with sea view. We would definitely recommend booking the homemade breakfast and dinner too because it was some of the best food we had in Sicily. During the meals the owners create a warmhearted atmosphere, explaining the menu and recipes at each table. They also helped us a lot with organising a transfer to the next location as our train was cancelled at the last minute. In summary, this is a 10000/10 and we would definitely book this hotel again and recommend it to all of our friends and family.

I am enamored with this place. I will definitely come back in the future. I can spill all the wonderful charm and secrets this place holds, but honestly, I will let you figure that out yourself. If my 10 out of 10 ratings do not make you curious... well then, you are missing out.

I would be tempted to give them a 1-star rating so people do not go to this gem of a place and I may have better chances to find a room if I want to return! Everything was perfect, from the reception of the manager to the cleanliness of the rooms, the wonderful dinner (tell them in advance if you want to eat there), and the convenient location to visit Scopello (it takes about 15 minutes), walk to the Tonnara or drive to other places. Beautiful.

If you put Pensione Tranchina's superb location aside, nestled underneath Sicily's renowned Zingaro Nature reserve, its prize is the team that runs the hotel in all quarters. Multi-speaking Marisin, owner and tour de force, is calibrated to all customers' needs of any culture. The establishment is simply laid out, very clean and refreshing to the eye. At the front of house, Cecilia, Maria, and Ingrid take pride in their work, detailing each component of the organic meals presented and the range of good Sicilian wines. The cook, Lucia, deserves a special mention and in my opinion is worthy of a Michelin star. I look forward to returning in the spring to witness Zingaro's inspiring floral display and the plethora of bird species that grace its land, but as a food buff, Pensione Tranchina is its crowning glory.

The breakfast each morning was healthy, homemade and delicious. The hosts were gracious, helpful and cheerful. The accommodations were comfortable and aesthetically appealing. The location was convenient as well as beautiful as well as close to the nature, reserve and other gorgeous swimming areas and hikes. This B and B offers the guest the option to dine there for about what you would pay at a nice restaurant and the food is healthy and good. Fresh fish, fresh vegetables, good wine, and you get to sit with the other guests who you are becoming familiar with, and it's a very uplifting atmosphere.

I had the pleasure of staying at Pensione Tranchina from the 1st to the 8th of October. I was made to feel incredibly welcome by Marisan and her team, the food was excellent (I booked dinner for 2 nights), all local produce, freshly made and delicious. The location is perfect and parking and getting to Scopello were made even easier by the instructions sent to me in advance of my stay regarding where I could park, it was so straightforward and thoughtful. The hotel and rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and everything you would need was there, hairdryer, safe, fridge, etc. Even beach towels and umbrellas were provided, so it made the beach days so easy! I highly recommend a stay here, everything was thought through, everyone was friendly, and the village was just the perfect place to base yourself for traveling to stunning beaches, heritage sites, and nearby places of interest. I will definitely be returning for another stay.

The Pensione Tranchina is a wonderful place to stay. It is located in the heart of Scopello small centre and walking distance to the sea. The rooms are really nice, very clean and spacious. We had a room with a window looking at the mountain and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was when looking through it at different times. Marisin, Cecilia, Indre and the whole team are very welcoming and you can see that they are looking at all the details. Breakfast there was amazing. One night we had the dinner that they offered: we loved it as well. As much as they can, they use local products and they dedicate time to explain you what the products are and where they come from. They have parking as well or let you know where to park. It is really an excellent place to stay. An Italian friend recommended it to us and we can't be more grateful. We want to recommended it to others as well.

What a great pension. The host, Maraisin, and her team bring such a warm welcoming. We were given helpful local information and always with a smile. The room was clean and nicely furnished. The breakfast was fantastic and featured fresh local produce that Maraisin explained comes from her garden or her friends. A booking was made at a restaurant and wow, we had first class views. The town of Scopello is small and cute and Pensione Tranchina is in the heart of the village and close to beaches and the national park. The personal touch is a highlight of this pension. We highly recommend a stay.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel, and if I had to describe it in one word, it would be generosity. Our room, Room 10, on the top floor, offered a stunning sea view, making it a perfect spot to relax. The staff were unbelievably kind and generous throughout our stay. From complimentary sun umbrellas and beach towels to helpful advice on local attractions, their attention to detail was exceptional. The homemade breakfast served every morning was simply delicious. Special mention goes to Cecilia, our incredibly warm and attentive hostess – she truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We also dined at the hotel every night, enjoying a set menu that was both delicious and reasonably priced, with a new menu each day. The atmosphere was wonderfully sociable, with the hotel offering a complimentary glass of wine before dinner, giving us a chance to chat with other guests. It truly felt like staying in a family home. I cannot recommend this hotel enough – many, many thanks for such an unforgettable experience!

What a fantastic find! We were in Scopello for 3 days for a family wedding and came upon this Pensione when trawling the internet. The owner Maracin and her team are all so friendly and helpful, the location is perfect, our room was spotless and well appointed! The breakfast was wonderful, home made cakes and jams, with lovely bread/cheese, fruit and meats. Parking was easy, just a few minutes walk away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My stay at the Tranchina B&B in Scopello was simply wonderful. The location couldn't be better – right in the heart of this picturesque town. The decor is simple yet incredibly cozy and inviting. The owners and staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and helpful. Every one of my needs was immediately met, and you can tell that hospitality is a top priority here. The food was particularly impressive: it comes either from local sources or is homemade. Simply perfect! I highly recommend this B&B to everyone.

This bed and breakfast is clean, pretty, and very close to restaurants and a short walk or drive to the sea. But what makes this place extra special is the hospitality of the owner and staff, they are absolutely lovely - so helpful. The food is also a huge draw card, as they value great quality local produce. Some nights they offer a 3-course home-cooked meal on the premises, which I strongly recommend - it was delicious!

Marisin was a wonderful host during our stay at Pensione Tranchina. She was attentive to our questions, engaging, and she and her staff provided local tips for our trips. The breakfasts were a special treat, with local ingredients and cappuccino every morning. For an extra cost, dinner was also provided. Those were also wonderful dishes of local Sicilian cuisine. We are happy to have stayed at Pensione Tranchina.

We trusted the reviews and we were not disappointed! The owner Marisin is very attentive and friendly: for example, she explained to us how to access the beaches (where we could bring the towels and umbrellas she provided). Pensione Tranchina is located in the heart of the village of Scopello, we could not have wished for a better location to arrive by bus (via russo servizi), explore the coast, visit the reserve or go out for dinner. It is warm and finely decorated, you can meet other travelers in the dining room. The room was perfect! Very clean, functional (air conditioning, fridge, bathroom, shampoo and shower gel, cleaning every morning, soft towels and sheets!) and extremely pleasant after a long day. The breakfast is very generous, Marisin always makes sure you have enough to satisfy your hunger. Fresh fruits and cheeses accompanied by jam, bread, ricotta, cold cuts, honey, the drink of your choice. Very well-kept, we really enjoyed it! In short, what can we say... these two nights in Scopello were the most relaxing of our trip. Thank you for everything!

Our room was very clean, the bed linen smelled nice. Many details were considered, such as many hanging and storage options. The breakfast was unique. You could taste the freshness of the food and the creativity of the hosts. The same goes for the dinner, which we can also highly recommend. The warm service and the attention one received were very high. In the last few days, I talked a lot about this accommodation in my surroundings. I have certainly visited more luxurious accommodations than this one, yet none has left such a lasting impression as this Pension, which looks simple at first glance. I hope the owner can continue to run the Pension with these high standards for a long time. She has been running this small Pension for 42 years. We will definitely come back. Thanks to the entire team.

We immediately felt very comfortable. Marisin and all his staff welcomed us warmly and with great availability and attention. The structure is located inside the village of Scopello, small but very characteristic, and close to the splendid Zingaro Nature Reserve, also reachable on foot from the structure. Other beautiful coves are also reachable in about twenty minutes on foot. We ate very well, abundant and savory breakfast with local zero km products and exquisite dinners based on fish and typical dishes.

The main beaches are just a few minutes away by car. Mrs. Tranchina is kind and willing to provide advice. The breakfast, although a bit limited in variety, offers homemade products of very high quality and very tasty. Highly recommended.
