Scene
Lushly landscaped resort, with pool and golf course
Disio Resort stretches across 37 lush acres of a botanical park. The resort staff takes great care in the maintenance of the property, which is dotted with palm trees and superbly landscaped gardens. There's also an artificial lake and three-hole golf course with driving range and putting green. The outdoor swimming pool is large and bordered by a spacious sun terrace with lounge chairs, plus a children's pool. Public spaces are not overly upscale, but are modern and warm with stone floors, gentle archways, and red accents. The resort appeals to tourists who want a quiet getaway in rural Sicily.
Location
In rural Sicily, 20 minutes outside culture and history in Marsala
Disio Resort is situated in a secluded rural area. The land surrounding the property can feel a little unkempt, with fields of patchy dirt, but travelers with a car can access beautiful towns and the coast. The historic walled town of Erice is a one-hour drive north, and the ancient seaside town of Marsala -- with attractions like the Chiesa San Francesco di Paola church and Porta Garibaldi port -- is about a 20-minute drive southeast. Trapani Airport is 13.5 miles (22 kilometers) north of the resort.
Rooms
Pleasant rooms with European-style décor and free Wi-Fi
The Disìo has 23 spacious rooms, ranging from 320 to 430 square feet. Rooms are not very upscale, but they have attractive, European-style décor: dark wood furnishings with red and gold bedding and accents. Rooms open to balconies with views of the quiet surrounding grounds and golf course. Bathrooms are on the small side but are clean and modern with showers. All rooms come with the necessities: air-conditioning, in-room safes, minibars, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels. Some rooms have jetted tubs.
Features
Large outdoor swimming pool, golf course, and free breakfast
The highlight of the Disio Resort is a three-hole golf course, with driving range and putting green. While not a genuine destination golf resort, the course is a fun diversion. After a stint on the links or the tennis court, guests can have a swim in the large outdoor pool, bordered by an expansive sun terrace. A children's pool -- which is clean and attractive, surrounded by palm trees -- and soccer field are also on-site. There are meeting rooms, including one with archways and a fireplace, and the free continental breakfast buffet is extensive. The restaurant serves a limited menu of mostly Sicilian dishes for lunch and dinner, with fresh fish and local meats. All meals are serviceable at best, and not gourmet quality. Some of the ingredients are not as fresh as they could be, and the cooking is sometimes uninspired.
