The hotel is located in a quiet area with two very good restaurants nearby. 5 minutes driving to the nearest town with lots of nice food places, markets and 5 minutes driving to beautiful Balestrate beach. Room was very clean. Breakfast was simple but always fresh - especially delicious fresh croissants served with very good coffee. Great swimming pool - very clean with shower outside and very comfortable sun loungers. Very friendly staff. 30 minutes driving to Palermo airport and 45 minutes driving to Palermo city. Not a lot of tourists around more local people which makes the whole experience very genuine. Highly recommend!

Lovely B&B - roomy, clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast of local Sicilian foods served by the friendly and generous host. Central location - it was easy to park and walk to local restaurants.

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 .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 !!!
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.
The apartment was located in a quiet area of Balestrate, only some not significant noise was made by the trains passing 4-5 times a day. The trainstation is aprox 100meters from the house if you want to travel to Palermo, Trapani or next small villages. The beach was aprox 5 min by walk and was not over crowded. The apartment itself was comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well equipped.
It was an amazing stay at Lucas and his families place. Everyone is just super friendly and explaining a lot. We even got a tour through the olive groves and got explained how the harvesting is done. The Azienda is outstanding, the landscape around is breathtaking and the hotel itself is just beautiful. We wished we could’ve stayed longer, but for sure we will come back when going to Sicily.
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!
Casa and Suite Laura is the best place to stay in for your vacation in Balestrate, it was a pleasure and Im glad we have chosen this apartament. Perfect location, very clean and cosy. Contact with the owner was perfect. Definitely would come back.
Great location! They have a lift, a terrace and a spa. When i arrived there was a fresh bottle of water, towels and some toiletries like in a hotel. Great experience i would definitely recommend and come back.
The host, a girl and her mum preparing breakfast were very friendly, the atmosphere was like at home - so cosy and relaxing. All needs were fully satisfied. Thank you for wonderful stay in Balestrate
The grounds are beautiful. Location is perfect - 5 minutes away from Balestrate centre, with all major sights/towns can be reached in less than 1 hour by car. Staff were helpful. Super comfy bed!
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
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.
