Set 656 feet from Erice Cathedral, right by the town walls, Il Carmine is a former monastery linked to the Carmelite order of monks.

The idea of a remodeled monastery was very appealing- the reality was an extremely basic stay. Felt more like a hostel- too much furniture (we had three beds in our room) - yet only one accessible plug (plus one in bathroom)- even in the wide hallway outside the rooms there was a poorly arranged assortment of way too much furnishings. Could have made good use of some of those couches in the room opposite the reception desk.
The staff was professional and lovely.
I wouldn’t not recommend, just know it’s basic accommodations.
Admire the view of Trapani as you dine on the terrace at Hotel Elimo, set in the heart of the picturesque, mountain village of Erice in northwestern Sicily.
In the heart of the pretty, historic, little village of Erice, this charming hotel enjoys fantastic views of the Mediterranean coast from Bonagia to San Vito lo Capo.
Admire the view across the terracotta rooftops of Erice from the roof terrace at Hotel Moderno.

The location is perfect. Right in the heart of all the attractions, shopping and restaurants. The taxi dropped us about 500 ft from the front door which was super convenient.
Just 984 feet from Erice Castle, Antico Borgo Erice is set on the main street of this historical town. This characteristic stone building offers rooms and an apartment, each with a balcony.

Antico Borgo is better than the pictures. Super cute and clean. Everything you need, with the staff close by. Great location. The restaurants and bakeries on the street are great, and lots of shops. The castle is a short walk up the street and there’s a breathtaking view on either side toward Marsala and toward San Vito Lo Capo.
Only 328 feet from the rocky beach, Orlando Vacanze Camere is 0.6 mi from Pizzolungo in Sicily. It offers air-conditioned accommodations, a terrace and a 24-hour reception.
LEO APPARTAMENTI con vista panoramica features air-conditioned accommodations in Erice. Featuring mountain and garden views, this apartment also comes with free Wifi.

Erice is a very charming town, and worth a visit, but only if you're able to walk steep hills and cobblestones. Maria Grammatico's pastry shop was a highlight for us, as was just walking around the town. Do be sure to 1) download EasyPark or a similar parking-pay app before you go, and if you stay in one of the hotels overnight, be sure to also download WhatsApp as most of the smaller Italian hotels use that to communicate.
All the food we had was great; prices were reasonable; not a lot of tourists, but even in early May, there were some.
We took a taxi up, which was pricer than the cable car, but I don't like heights!

Very old town with many things to see.
Very old town with many things to see.
Many restaurants for all kinds of food.
Since Erice is high up in the mountains, there are few level areas. Great for keeping in shape! You cannot get lost. It's a small town. Evenings get cooler, so bring a jacket if you plan to eat on a terrace.

The community has a nice offer for 12 Euro to enter all churches and monuments in the village. It can easily keep you busy and running around for a day in the village. A bus from/to the village from Trapani is 2,90 Euro and takes about 45 min. The Funivia (cable car is 6,50 Euro and takes about 20 min + the local AST 21 or 23 bus to take you there for 1,40 Euro). I saved one cable car ride for the last evening just as an experience enjoying the sunset views and using it as a way to reach the village late. The last bus from Trapani is 17.30 the last cable car around 20.00.

Apartment is located in the center of the old town, which is very nice. What we didn't like is a horrible and continuous noise coming from the water pomp, that we heard in our room. It was impossible to relax with this sound. Moreover we booked an apartment with a kitchen, which we didn't have. The host told us it was put in the add by mistake.

It's a fascinating medieval town where we spent many hours, we also had a lovely lunch at the convent restaurant.
We also went on the cable car with its fantastic view of Trapani below. There was actually nothing to do at the bottom so be went back up to Erice!
This was one of the most memorable stays of our entire trip around Sicily. Our friendly hosts met us as we drove in to the town, and guided us to a place to safely park our car for free (not easy in Erice). They are proud of their beautiful town and gave us a quick driving tour of the town and pointed out places of interest and shared the history of the town. The apartment itself was lovely, quiet, centrally located, with a gorgeous terrace view of the surroundings, and packed with thoughtful amenities. Special and unforgettable!
I stayed at an accommodation with a breathtaking view, and the host took excellent care of us. She prepared delicious breakfast for us. The accommodation was clean and tastefully decorated with a sense of art. There was a space available for preparing simple meals, and we had air conditioning. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home in the accommodation. The host was very helpful, attentive, and kind. She communicated perfectly in English and assisted us whenever we needed it. It was the best accommodation we had in Sicily.
Everything!!! The apartment was beautiful and the host was so thoughtful. She left water, wine, beer, fruit, pasta, breakfast options, juice, coffee, tea - exceeded my expectations. The apartment was spacious, lovely and comfortable. Quiet but just around the corner from one of the main streets. The host checked in and wanted to make sure all was satisfactory. She snd her husband also took me on a little tour of Erice to get me oriented. I had a wonderful stay!
We changed our room at an additional price to have a balcony and the views from the balcony are astonishing you can see the whole of Trapani. The room was adequate to our needs and the food of the breakfast was also good. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Trapani or around those parts. Travelling distance is like 30 minutes to Trapani. All in all the hotel was value for money and the staff at the hotel were very friendly and welcoming.
We loved everthing about Sogno Siciliano Turismo Reale! The owners are friendly ans very attentive. We had dinner there both nights and enjoyed some of the best meals during our entire 3 week trip in Sicily. It was a lovely country setting close to quite a few sights. The room ans bathroom were beautiful and comfortable. If the weather gad been nucer we would have spent more time on the veranda. I wish we'd stayed longer than 2 nighte.
Wow! What a great experience. The staff was so kind and helpful. They even let us choose what room we wanted to stay in. The location was perfect and a great starting point to explore the village. The breakfast was excellent and the au sunset view from the terrace was just amazing. Really one of our peak experiences in Sicily.
Historic feeling, pretty hotel. The staff were kind and professional. Quiet and a very pleasant stay. We were there in April and there was free parking just outside the Porta Carmine town gate but you have to circle the town to get to it and stay out of the ZTL. There restaurant opened to serve us dinner early.
The hosts are extremely kind and made everything for us to feel welcome! The apartment is located nearby the sea. Very convenient for the access to the beach, only few km away, and about 40 mins from some of the most beautiful beaches of Western Sicily. Plenty of facilities in the apartment.
It is brand new, very clean, has everything we needed in the kitchen and our hostess was extremely helpful. She wrote notes on Erice’s map to point out restaurants, the Old Town, parking, location of ferry to Favginana Island etc. Can’t ask for anything more from a hostess.
Would not pass up any opportunity to visit Erice.. or Belle Vista. Hot water was important because it was super cold, the water was very hot. The comforter was goose down and kept me sleeping nice and snug. Host go out of their way to help you feel very comfortable.
The hosts- Agostino and his wife, their tailored delicious dinner offer and hospitality, really nice and caring. Close proximity to Trapani and Erice.
Clean rooms, easy parking on the street by the property.
Location was perfect for access to everything in Erice. Parking was the main parking for the community so not close but a kind staff member transported us and our luggage to the doorstep.
Everything absolutely fantastic. The house, facilities, location and most of all the host Luigi, who’s super friendly and gave us great recommendations. We’ll definitely return to Erice.
Incredible service. The main road to Erice was temporarily closed and they helped get us to the city another route and took us, our car and bags to the hotel.
