    Excellent location on a very beautiful main street. Room had a bed, little sink(unexpected feature that i loved), little fridge(was a bit noisy, but was not a problem), little balcony. Needed nothing more for a single traveler and one night stay. Maria the host - amazing women! So welcoming and helpfull. They provide airport shuttle.

    The host was so nice and helpful and gave me recommendations for dinner:) The location is amazing, so within 2 minutes you are at the beach and the old town is right in front of your door! I came there to work from there and the Internet was stable and I could even work from the beautiful balcony.

    It is located above a resteraunt and bar on the most busy street for passers-by. If you leave the window open at night it can be rather noisy.

    This historic building has the coolest atrium when you enter. It is so close to the sea. If you go out and look right you see a beautiful clock building they light up in rose color at night. At the corner look left and you are two minutes to the port. If you turn right in a two minute stroll you will be at the lungo mare (beach walkway) high above the waves. Incredible location and Maria is so helpful and caring.

    I really liked the atmosphere, very cozy. The hostel is located in an old historical building. The exit directly to the walking street is beautiful and convenient. All that was needed in the room was a refrigerator and fans, including. I can only recommend it!

    The only drawback, if I were to point one out, is that the B&B does not have an elevator. However, it's worth noting that the host at the B&B was very kind and offered to assist us in carrying our luggage upstairs. Furthermore, considering the historical nature of the building, the absence of an elevator is quite understandable.

    Generally, accommodations with shared bathrooms can be a gamble, but in this instance, we were extremely satisfied with the cleanliness of both the bathroom and the bedroom. The room offered ample space, excellent amenities, and the B&B's location exceeded our expectations. Situated in the heart of Trapani, we had easy access to beautiful beaches, delicious food, and vibrant nightlife. Thank you.

    Because the building and the furniture is old, traditional there is an old smell in the room

    The building is right in the city center, you step out of the building and you find shops, restaurants etc. It is a nice old traditional Italian building so you can really see how locals live here. People who manage the flat are very nice and friendly.

    nothing

    amazing place right in the centre, next to the bus station and port. this is a beautiful old building in the historical part. the owner/staff is really helpful and flexible. i was able to arrive and leave my luggage early and also leave it late on the last day before leaving. they gave me useful information as well. it is very quiet location even if on the main street. the room was super clean and all was provided. there was no aircon but a ceiling fan. for me it was enough and even better than the regular.

    Actually, there is only one thing that I would point as an disadvantage - my bed was a bit too narrow for me and none of the bed's sides did adhere to a wall. So I felt I needed to be careful not to fall from the bed. But this is the only thing that bothered me and I recommend this place as a truly unique experience.

    Localization is beautiful - in the middle of the historic center, with a magnificent front patio with lots of plants. A view to be remembered! The signora who manages this place is very sympathetic and helpful. There are tree common bathrooms, so there was always an empty one. As of the lack of the air conditioning, I visited during September and two fans (a ceiling fan and a standing fan) were doing a decent job. Although I did miss the air conditioning. Nevertheless, I knew what I was signing for and the price was accordingly lower, so I don't lower the final score because of that.

    There are many stairs to climb, which was not a problem for me, but could be for someone older or less active. The room has no air conditioning and it was very hot (it’s July). I slept well anyway.

    The B&B is very well located, right in the middle of the main street of the historic center in Trapani. Maria was extremely nice to me, gave me tips about the ferry to the islands and even landed me a parasol for the beach. The shared bathrooms were always clean and there were useful things like liquid soap and paper tissues. I would recommend for a short stay.

    Amazing yard, good room, nice owner

    Don't take the breakfast — 10 euro for 1 one person for only cup of coffee and 1 croissant is too much for Italy. If air conditioning is important to you, ask if it is available in other rooms. Also note that there are stairs leading up to the property (typical for Sicily), so this place is not for you if you have reduced mobility

    That was exactly what we looked for: a room in an old house in the center of the city, with a luxurious traditional courtyard-garden (amazing spot!!), it is a great place to start a trip around Sicily. Maria, the owner, is very nice and friendly, we had one misunderstanding in which we were partly to blame, but she handled it with maximum understanding and laughter. The room is very large and spacious. The furnishings are simple, but everything is sufficient and everything looks very local. We had shared bathroom, but we don't even know if anyone was in the BB at the same time as us

    The rooms are good enough for the price, but if you're traveling in the middle of summer when the heat is above 30, you may want to reconsider. Even with the window open at night and fans during the day, it always felt hot.

    The location and hotel's exterior are fantastic. You feel like you're in a villa. The hostess is quite nice and kind.

    Maybe the bathroom could use some renovation, but it's a minor thing. It's clean, spacious, and works fine.

    Family run hotel, the staff Mirko and Maria are extremely kind and helpful I felt like a special guest at their house, which is pretty much the case. The position is excellent. The building is a beautiful historical building in the very centre. I only stayed one night but very happy. Conveniently close to the port too.
