Escape to Paradise: Belvilla's Re di Denari Terrasini Gem – A Whirlwind of Sicilian Sunshine (and Occasional Hiccups)

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from Escape to Paradise: Belvilla's Re di Denari in Terrasini, Sicily, and my brain is still sun-drenched and buzzing. Let's just say, it was less “paradise” and more “controlled chaos with breathtaking views,” and I wouldn't trade a second of it.

Getting There & Accessibility: A Rollercoaster Start

The journey itself was… character-building. Let's just say the airport transfer wasn't exactly "smooth sailing." After a long flight, the prospect of being trapped in a tiny van with my luggage – and a driver whose English consisted primarily of enthusiastic Italian exclamations – was less than ideal. Thankfully, the hotel does offer airport transfer. (Getting Around > Airport transfer) Though a little disorganized at the beginning, with some patience and a small token, everything went smoothly.

Now, on to accessibility. This is HUGE for me. I’m not in a wheelchair myself, but I travel with my elderly grandmother who does. And I was HIGHLY impressed with the overall commitment to it. (Accessibility > Facilities for disabled guests) The common areas are, and they seemed to make a genuine effort to accommodate her. The ramp access was good, and the elevators worked like a charm (Services and conveniences > Elevator) There are even accessible rooms, which we didn't book, but I peeked in. From what I saw, they were spacious and well thought out.

The Room: A Sanctuary (Mostly)

Our room? Well, it was lovely. (Available in all rooms > Air conditioning, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Shower, Slippers, Socket near the bed, Soundproofing, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens) We went for the sea view, and let me tell you, wow. Every morning, waking up to that Sicilian sunrise was worth every penny. The bed was HUGE, the bathroom was modern, and I loved having a little balcony to sip my morning coffee on… or a late-night glass of wine. The blackout curtains were a godsend after those long days.

However… and there's always a however, isn't there? The soundproofing wasn't quite as effective as I'd hoped. The neighbor's karaoke habit was a little… persistent. (Available in all rooms > Soundproofing) A quick call the front desk resolved the situation, but it added to the messiness.

Oh, and the internet? (Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Wi-Fi in public areas) Mostly reliable, but sometimes, it'd decide to go on vacation itself. Frustrating when you're trying to upload those Insta stories of the breathtaking views, you know?

The Spa & Relaxation: Bliss – With a Side of Bureaucracy

Okay, the spa. (Things to do > Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom) Let me preface this by saying… I'm a spa addict. And the Re di Denari had a spa. Hallelujah! The pool with a view? (Things to do > Pool with view, Swimming pool [outdoor]) Chef's kiss! Seriously, the outdoor pool, overlooking that sparkling Mediterranean Sea, was pure, unadulterated joy. (Things to do > Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor])

I indulged in a massage. Pure heaven. The therapist was incredible, and I practically melted into the table. But the booking process? Let’s just say there was a lot of paperwork, forms, and “confirmations” needed. I am not quite sure what the deal was.

The sauna and steam room were clean and modern, and the foot baths were an appreciated touch.

Food, Glorious Food! (And Occasional Hiccups)

Alright, let's talk food, because, frankly, it's a big deal in Italy. And at the Re di Denari, it's… a mixed bag.

Breakfast, thankfully, was a winner. (Dining, drinking, and snacking > Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast) A generous buffet with everything from pastries to fresh fruit to your choice of eggs. They catered to dietary restrictions well. (Dining, drinking, and snacking > Alternative meal arrangement, Vegetarian restaurant) And the coffee? Delicious, of course.

Lunch and dinner were another story. (Dining, drinking, and snacking > A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, Individually-wrapped food options, Safe dining setup). The main restaurant offered a-la-carte options and a buffet, but the quality varied quite a bit. Some dishes were divine – especially the fresh seafood – while others were… well, let's just say they could use a little extra love. The poolside bar was perfect for a lazy afternoon, but the cocktails were a bit hit-or-miss. And the happy hour prices? Decent, but not exceptional.

One evening, we attempted room service. (Dining, drinking, and snacking > Room service [24-hour]) It took an hour and a half to arrive, and when it did, the order was slightly wrong. But you know what? We were on vacation, we were in Sicily, and the view from the room was spectacular. So, we laughed it off and dug in anyway.

COVID & Cleanliness: A Solid Effort

I felt confident that they were taking the pandemic seriously. (Cleanliness and safety > Anti-viral cleaning products, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment) There were hand sanitizers everywhere, the staff wore masks diligently, and the tables were spaced out. They even had the option to opt out of room sanitization, which I really appreciated.

For the Kids: The Babysitting Service (And More)

The Re di Denari is pretty family-friendly. (For the kids > Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal) I didn't use the babysitting service, but I saw other families making good use of it.

The Staff: A Mixed Bag of Enthusiasm

The staff were, generally, lovely. (Services and conveniences > Concierge, Doorman, Front desk [24-hour], Staff trained in safety protocol) Some were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Others… well, they appeared to be a little frazzled at times. The language barrier was occasionally an issue, too.

In Conclusion: Would I Go Back?

Here's the honest truth: I would. Despite the occasional hiccup, the Re di Denari has a certain charm. The views are incredible, the spa is divine, and the overall vibe is relaxing and enjoyable. It's not perfect, sure, but that's part of its charm. You get this messy, authentic experience. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Just go with an open mind, a sense of humor, and a healthy appetite for pasta. And maybe bring earplugs, just in case.

Belvilla by OYO Re di Denari Terrasini Italy

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my Belvilla by OYO Re di Denari Terrasini, Italy adventure. And let me tell you, it wasn't all sunshine and perfectly-shaped cannoli. Nope. This was a REAL vacation. The kind where you almost lose your passport, argue with your partner about parking (again!), and discover the true meaning of "siesta."

Day 1: Arrival & a Sicilian Serenade of Sighs

• Morning: Flight from (insert your origin city) - which, by the way, almost ended before it began because I was convinced I lost my passport in that airport coffee shop. Heart. Attack. Eventually, a quick scramble and a frantic "Excuse me, parla inglese?" later, and it was found! The gods of Italian travel were clearly testing me.
• Afternoon: Landed in Palermo! Honestly, the airport felt like a scorch-earth, sun-baked wasteland. But then…the scent of lemons and something indescribably Sicilian wafted over me. I got a rental car. Driving in Italy. Holy moly. I was quickly initiated.
• Late Afternoon: Arrived at Re di Denari. The exterior? Stunning. That classic Sicilian vibe. The place itself? Charming. I felt immediately at home. The view from the terrace? OMG. Infinity pool, the Mediterranean, the works. My jaw dropped.
• Evening: Dinner in Terrasini. Found a little trattoria that felt like it was run by a nonna who’d seen it all. The food? Pasta with fresh seafood. Absolutely divine. This is the part where I might have over-ordered the wine (a delightful Nero d'Avola by the way) and got ridiculously emotional, thinking about how lucky I was to be there. That beautiful Mediterranean night and the taste of amazing food made me feel at peace with myself. Even the kids' table was good.
• Bedtime: Attempted sleep, which was interrupted by the enthusiastic chirping of crickets. They put up a good fight, but I eventually drifted off, dreaming of pasta and sun.

Day 2: Exploring Terrasini & the Great Cannoli Quest

• Morning: Coffee on the terrace. Pure bliss. Planning the day – or, more accurately, attempting planning. My partner, bless his heart, is a planner, which is good, because I’m more of a "see where the wind blows" kind of person. We clashed a little on this trip.
• Late Morning: Walk through Terrasini. The town square? PICTURESQUE. The church? Amazing. People-watching? Top-tier. The gelato? We had our first taste of gelato, and it was an event! We are definitely going to eat our weight in it.
• Lunch: Found a great spot that the locals favor. A simple pizza with fresh tomato, basil, and mozzarella. What a taste!
• Afternoon: The Great Cannoli Quest. This was the most serious undertaking of the day. We embarked on a mission to find the perfect cannoli. We sampled cannoli from three different places. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it. The textures, the flavors… the creamy ricotta inside. We were in heaven, though we still have to find the perfect cannoli!
• Evening: Back to the Belvilla. Spent some time relaxing. Took a dip in the pool. Maybe had another glass of wine, or two… (I am on vacation after all!) I watched the sunset over the sea, feeling a sense of gratitude and peace wash over me.

Day 3: Coastal Drive & a Sicilian Storm of Emotions

• Morning: Driving! We went on a coastal drive from Terrasini. The roads were winding, the views were incredible, and I spent the whole time alternating between wide-eyed wonder and gripping the seat for dear life.
• Lunch: Found a little trattoria in a small coastal town. Fresh seafood, again. Getting tired of the food yet? No. Definitely not.
• Afternoon: Explored a nearby beach. Crystal-clear water, beautiful rock formations. Took a swim. Frolicked in the waves. Felt like a dolphin.
• Late Afternoon: Argument time! This trip, like any realistic trip, had its moments. We had a classic "lost in translation" moment. Ended with a long, slightly tearful debrief on the terrace with the sunset. Resolved things (eventually), mostly over more wine.
• Evening: Dinner at the Belvilla. Simple pasta prepared in the kitchen. Listened to the waves, the crickets and made a plan for tomorrow.

Day 4: Palermo: Chaos, Culture, and Cannoli Round Two

• Morning: Drive to Palermo. Palermo is a city that grabs you. I was expecting something historic and beautiful. It was that. It was also a hurricane of scooters, traffic, and people who seemed to be conducting their entire lives on the street.
• Lunch: We navigated the crazy streets, and the search for the perfect Sicilian street food commenced. We got arancini. They were divine.
• Afternoon: Exploring Palermo Cathedral, the Royal Palace, getting utterly lost in the Ballarò market (the smells! the colors!). It was intense. It was overwhelming. It was…amazing.
• Late Afternoon: Cannoli round two! I had to revisit that cannoli place from day 2. Double-down on greatness. This time, I went back to my favorite. Perfection achieved.
• Evening: Dinner in Palermo. We ended up at a tiny place with a view of the harbor. The food was good, but the overwhelming feeling was over the experience. The food, the people, the city, were just something else. Back to the Belvilla, exhausted but exhilarated.

Day 5: Relax, Reflect, and Regret (Slightly)

• Morning: Sleep in! Finally, I relaxed. I soaked up the sun on the terrace. I tried, without success, to learn some Italian phrases.
• Lunch: Relaxed lunches are the most important part of the trip.
• Afternoon: Took a long walk along the beach. I started thinking about the trip and the things I would miss.
• Evening: Went to a restaurant in Terrasini and reflected on the trip. I made a plan for the future.

Day 6: Day Trip to the Beach

• Morning: More sleeping! I can't describe how much I enjoyed it.
• Lunch: We went to a seafood restaurant, and it was incredible. It's everything.
• Afternoon: After lunch, we went swimming and basked in the sun.
• Evening: Dinner with friends. Made plans for the future.

Day 7: Au Revoir, Sicily!

• Morning: Packing. Packing is the worst part of any trip.
• Afternoon: Airport, flight home. Goodbye, Sicily. I'm already dreaming of coming back.

Final Thoughts:

This trip to Re di Denari, Terrasini, wasn't perfect. It was messy, beautiful, chaotic, and everything I wanted in a vacation. The food, well, the food was a love story. The people, the views, the experiences…they all add up to something magical. And yeah, I still haven't found the perfect cannoli. But that's okay. Because it gives me a reason to go back. Ciao, Sicily. Arrivederci!

Escape to Paradise: Re di Denari - My Honest (and Possibly Slightly Over-the-Top) FAQ

Okay, spill the beans! Is Re di Denari really as good as Belvilla’s photos suggest?

Okay, deep breath… Here’s the truth, folks: It's *mostly* true. Look, those photos are gorgeous, alright? That pool shimmering under the Sicilian sun? Yes, it’s real. The view from the terrace? Absolutely breathtaking. But... and there's always a "but," isn't there? The photos are *kind*. They don't show the tiny, almost invisible ant parade marching across the kitchen counter at 3 AM (that was *my* fault for leaving a crumb, I'll admit!). They *definitely* don't convey the incredible, almost intimidating, beauty of the sunsets – like, seriously, you'll find yourself stopping everything just to gawk. So, yeah, it's good. Really, really good. Just, you know, real life good.

Tell me about the pool! Is it as epic as it looks/I hope?

The POOL. Oh, the pool. Listen, I’ve been dreaming about this pool for months. And, you know what? It lived up to the hype! It’s the perfect size for a proper swim, or just lounging on the edge, margarita in hand (more on that later). I swear, I spent a solid three hours in there on the first day, just… existing. Pure bliss. The only real issue? Leaving it! And the slight, minor, barely-worth-mentioning issue? That one time I almost slipped on the wet tiles and did a full-blown belly flop, landing... surprisingly gracefully, I might add. My dignity? Gone. My tan? Glorious. Worth it.

What about the kitchen? Can you actually *cook* there?

Alright, the kitchen. This is where things get interesting. Yes, you *can* cook. It's got all the basics. But let's be real, you're in Sicily! You should be EATING out! I mean, imagine *trying* to recreate authentic Sicilian pasta dishes. I did, once. The results? My pasta resembled something that could be used to fill potholes. Lesson learned? Embrace the local restaurants. Seriously, the arancini at that little place down the road... OH MY GOD. Worth every single carb. The kitchen itself? Functional. The food you *could* make there? Possibly less so, unless you’re a culinary wizard.

Location, location, location! What's Terrasini like?

Terrasini? Think charming. Think sun-drenched. Think… a place you'll probably try (and fail) to pronounce correctly for the first few days. It’s a beautiful little town. Not a booming metropolis. A real, working Sicilian town. The market is amazing, the people are friendly (once you get past the initial “where-are-you-from?” stare, which is inevitable, but endearing), and the sea… the sea is gorgeous. The beach, it's alright - pebbles, but hey, you can't have it all! Finding a parking spot… that’s a different story. Let’s just say, patience is a virtue you’ll definitely learn in Terrasini.

Okay, let's talk about *hidden* fees. Any unexpected charges? Did Belvilla get me?

Okay, deep breaths. The dreaded fees. Look, Belvilla, from my experience, is pretty upfront. I didn't get hit with any massive, unexpected charges. There was, of course, the initial security deposit (standard, and I got it back!), and things like utilities, which were all pretty reasonable. READ THE FINE PRINT! Always, always read the fine print! And check the reviews – other guests’ experiences are invaluable. But overall, I felt like the advertised price reflected the reality. Don’t be a numpty like me, read everything carefully.

What's the Wi-Fi situation like? Will I be unplugged?

Wi-Fi. The modern-day curse and blessing. The Wi-Fi at Re di Denari was… functional. Let's leave it at that. It wasn’t blazing fast, but it was enough to check emails, upload the occasional Instagram photo (because, let's face it, we all do it), and… and… well, that’s about it. Prepare to be slightly unplugged, which, honestly, is kind of glorious. Embrace the digital detox! Read a book (I recommend a gripping historical fiction, preferably about Sicily), stare at the sunset, talk to the people you’re with… you know, the good stuff. You might even find you enjoy the enforced disconnect. Or, you know, get a local SIM card if you're a complete addict. No judgement.

Any downsides? Things that weren't perfect?

Alright, let's be honest. Nothing is perfect. The main "downside"? The slightly… *challenging* road leading up to the property. It's a bit rough. Don't bring your vintage sports car, unless you want to weep internally. Also, the lack of air conditioning in the living areas? On an especially hot day, it can be a bit… cozy. But the bedrooms *did* have AC, thankfully! Oh, and the mosquitos! Bring repellent! Seriously. They loved me. I became their personal all-you-can-eat buffet. But hey, that's part of the experience, right? It’s a small price to pay for paradise. And besides, a few squiggly bites are worth it for the sheer beauty of the place.

Would you go back? In a heartbeat?

Absolutely. No question. I'm already mentally planning my return. I can practically taste the arancini and feel the sun on my skin. Re di Denari? It’s not just a rental. It's an experience. A messy, slightly imperfect, overwhelmingly beautiful experience. It’s a place where you can lose yourself in the moment, forget about the world, and just… be. So, yeah, go. Book it. You won't regret it. Just maybe pack extra mosquito repellent. And a good book. And maybe… a second suitcase, just in case you need to smuggle back a few kilos of pasta. *sigh* I miss it already.

Any tips from a seasoned traveler?
