MaryUnited StatesLovely location, great staff
The property was beautiful, and I loved the location (Malfa). It was quiet and away from the busy main town; walking distance to bars, cafes, restaurants, bus stops, other services, and a nice (rocky) beach. The staff…

What we’d check for you here

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Il Gelso Vacanze
What time is check-in and check-out at Il Gelso Vacanze?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Il Gelso Vacanze allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Il Gelso Vacanze?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Il Gelso Vacanze?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Il Gelso Vacanze have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Il Gelso Vacanze have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Il Gelso Vacanze?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
Where is Il Gelso Vacanze?
Via Nilo, Malfa.
