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.

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!
Loved the location, so easy to walk to everything and they were so kind and helpful driving us with all our luggage to the hotel after we parked and then back again when we left. I have a hard time walking abd they met our needs with great kindness. Everyone was very kind and generous. I really loved the relaxed feel, the air conditioning worked great, the sun was hot but shade was lovely abd even cool in the evening. The town is so full of history and culture! This b and b took good care of us and I’d love to come back!
This was one of my best experiences in Italy so far. The room was in the most central part of beautiful Erice, so close to the town square that one could see events happening there from the balcony. The room itself was perfect, and had access to a great bathroom as well. The hosts kept in good communication and provided me the information where to park, which is not trivial in Erice.
As final bonus, the market next door is brilliant for a quick bite or drink after arrival, with the friendliest staff!
We arrived in Erice and were picked up by the owners of the apartment, who gave us a tour of Erice and explained everything interesting about the city. The apartment had everything we needed (and more), with an amazing location in the center of the town. The bed was the most comfortable of all our experiences on Sicily, and we could even stay a little longer than usual and sleep in. Thank you for everything! ❤️
the property was outstanding very clean, in a perfect location, the staff so polite and helpful, they knew we were leaving early in the morning and left for us breakfast in the room the night before! I would always go back there when staying in Erice! Also they made us look at several other rooms in case we liked those better!
The place was very clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel at home. The host was communicative and supremely helpful in giving advice for places to go. The neighbourhood is very conveniently located , few minutes away from the cable car which takes you to Erice. Would absolutely recommend staying there!
We liked everything. If you want to rest from big city live, this place is perfect. Quiet and beautiful garden, good room with basic equipment, nice and helpful host Marco :) Amazing views, close to Trapani and Erice with place to BBQ. And we can't forget about the qiutiest dog ever- Alba :)
Augustino and Sara are wonderful hosts.
Get the dinner. You must book the dinner. The food is excellent
Quiet, comfortable, beautiful view.
The food. Was. Amazing.
Easy driving distance of Erice, Trapani, Zingaro and others..
Did I mention that the dinner is excellent?
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.
A very beautiful traditional building with a breathtaking view of the northwest area of Sicily. Great breakfast and you could eat outside enjoying the view to the sea. Parking just in front of the Hotel. The Center of the village was super close.
Very friendly hosts. They welcomed us with a local dolci. They were very helpful with all our questions. Free parking in front of the apartment which is really rate in Erice. Great location with a view! Perfect. Everything was great
Case Bruno made us feel like we were transported back into the elegance and culture of Erice centuries before, albeit with modern comforts. Our hosts were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful.
The staff was exceptional. The view was amazing. The hotel has a wonderful kooky charm. On my Sicilian holiday, I didn’t expect to cozy up to a blazing fire and share drinks with fellow travellers.
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.
The rooms were very nicely designed, comfy beds and clean. Everything about the rooms was great. It is a beautiful place and the location is very convenient in the center of Erice.
Erice is a jewellery box of Sicily. The B&B is very close to the public parking, easy to reach. The room has a very nice cozy style. Maybe it is really excellent in a heatwave.
