Balestrate is a lively small Sicilian town 30 drive from Palermo airport (Pmo). It is a good starting point for exploring Palermo and west parts of Sicily. The beach seemed a bit abundant but we were there out of tourist season. Rental car is essential as there is so much to explore, from beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters to traditional Sicilian villages and hiking opportunities.

Nice, rather calm town.
Nice, rather calm town. Typical colorful houses, narrow streets, swuare with historic church. They have at least few restaurants with typical, fine cuisine (try disiu pizza - perfect pizza; siculish - artisanal sicilian cuisine; cia vuru ri tradizioni - suprising restaurant with great atmosphere, food and interior). Beach is broad and accessible for swimmimg, a bit not clean (some plastic bottles, etc.), but maybe during the peak season they clean it better (I hope). We had great time, proces are affordable (cafe/restaurant). You may easily reach the town from Punta Raisi by public transport or use private transfer (public transport for 4 person is ca. €30 / private transport €35 booked in Balestrate Jumbo car rental).

Small quiet town.
Small quiet town. Between Palermo and Trapani. 30 minutes car drive to Palermo airport. Good for making trips to Erice, Palermo, Segesta, Monreale. Trafić was not bad at all. Instead of going by car you can take a bus.

Balestrate its nice small town.
Balestrate its nice small town. There is plenty of shops, pubs,bars and restaurants. There are nice small bakeries which amazing Sicillan bread straight from the oven. You will have choice of lovely Sicilian food to try like sweet pastry, sandwiches, pasta and sea food.
If you thinking of visiting other parts of Sicily you will need to rent a car as there isn't much of public transport, only a train but not very reliable.
There are few beaches in Balestrate.
There is also night life in Balestrate with live music and also disco on fresh air for younger population on Friday night.
There are boats to hire in Port of Balestrate.
People are very friendly and helpful with not many tourists from abroad.

The town is just beautiful, we were there at a quiet time of year in March and whilst quiet during the day it comes alive at night! The restaurants are fantastic and the people are super friendly and accommodating! It has everything you need with you having to leave if you so wish! We travelled to all the towns in the vicinity and Balestrate is definitely the most beautiful!

Perfect vacation spot to get away from the hustle and bustle...
Perfect vacation spot to get away from the hustle and bustle .Ideally located for visiting the North coast . Great size town , not too big , not too small. You'll find food to go or mini markets nearby.And a few restaurants etc,, Or else drive 5 km to Alcamo for bigger supermarkets. Great home away from home . Hate to leave . Will be back !!!
Pretty good central location (if you are ok with loud street in the evening :-), close to shops and restaurants, nice and friendly staff ready to help, access to washing machine on the top floor and terrace. but it would be much better if owner would care to ensure cleaning black mould in the bathroom and fixing not working air conditioning. If you will be lucky to get appartment in normal condition - clean enough and working air conditioning - it is pretty ok. walking distance to the beach - not Balestrate beach mention on Booking.com.
A very nice hotel with very friendly staff who is very engaged and want to make your stay as nice as possible
The pool area was decorated with lighting that looked really beautiful in the dark
The room and bathroom were very clean and all in all it was a nice stay
The location of the hotel is perfect as you only need 15-20 min to the next larger cities
Breakfast was good too, it was a typical Italian breakfast with a lot of sweets but also a lot of fruit
It’s a newly refurbished properly, tastily done. Comfortable beds, nice shower. Quiet street yet very close to the main street of Balestrate. Owners super friendly, responsive and happy to help. We were greeted with a nice bottle of wine, water, and there were few other soft drinks in the fridge. Also olive oil from their cousin, which we ordered more at the end. All in all, fantastic place and would love to go back there again someday.
The welcome and kindness of Antonio, a gentle and kind man who always tries to help and look after you. The apartment..neat, airy, right in the heart of Balestrate. The balcony overlooking the main street so you can watch the passagiato and the daily life of this lovely town
All the welcoming warm people we spend time with in Balestrate.
The proximity to a beautiful bakery, a fabulous fresh fruit shop and a supermarket.
Thank you Antonio! he Picked us up in Palermo and drove us through the mountains to Balestrate. the Apartment was very clean and Bit enough! the kitchen Is well equipped so you can cool small things. the Apartment was in the middle of Balestrate, Apx. 15 min to the Beach. Better Rent a Car (at Jumbos or Stellas, so much cheaper than at the Airport!) you will Need it if you plan to visit the area.
The house is amazing! Spacious, nicely decorated. Feels like Sicily. Front porch and back yard is super comfortable. Location is amazing too if you want piece and quiet like we do. You need a car to move around if you want to visit beautiful island. The best host ever. Always answering the phone and replying on messages. In a few minutes our problems were solved. Thank you
Friendly, hospitable hostess; obliging and very helpful. The location was very convenient with good beaches 10 min drive away. Comfortable apt, all conveniences provided. The outside private patio was a bonus. A 'local' feel to Balestrate and a refreshing break from the busy Palermo swarming with tourists. Great local restaurants. Highly recommended.
The staff were all lovely and made sure that we had and understood everything we needed. The location is right in the middle of Balestrate, so it was very easy to get around. The recommendations from all staff, including the local taxi (Milton) and all their food recommendations were perfect. The spa experience was truly lovely.
An outstanding experience, not least because of the kindness and availability of the host, not to mention the position of the apartment right in the middle of Balestrate, only a few minutes' walk from the beach, good restaurants and shops. We will be back!
Wonderful stay at Nomade, it was the best part of our holidays in Sicily! Great B&B in a quiet, peaceful location, with a friendly atmosphere. Beautiful view of the sea and the mountains. The pool is amazing!
Lovely house with a nice garden and all necessary amenities to make your stay a wondeful one. The kitchen is fully equipped and the jacuzzi brings the relax you need after a busy day out with kids in Sicily
The owner Giuseppe is an excellent person he makes sure that breakfast is ready when you get up in the morning,I would raccoment casa Ruffino if you come to Balestrate
extreamly friendly host and open to answer all question. Gave us a recommendation for fish restaurant in balustrade wich was then the best one in Sicily we ever had.
The hosts were so lovely!!! Extremely friendly and spoke good English! The location was lovely, and we experienced so much of Sicily. We would 100% stay again!
Guisepi went out of his way to help me on my quest to find relatives in Balestrate. He drove me all over town talking to people trying to help me find them.
