This is a no-frills place to stay, except for its breath-taking views of the Trapani/San Vito di Capo area below. The location is wonderful--Erice is a charming medieval town, with several great restaurants, fantastic pastry/sweet shops, friendly folks, and peaceful surroundings. The hotel is quiet, has a nice breakfast with good coffee, free parking, and shy-but-nice staff. The rooms are spartan, but comfortable and very clean. They reminded me of a college dormitory, but with private bath. If your plan is to be out and about, and just use your room to sleep and clean up, you will be delighted with this very economical and professional place. My only criticism would be that the hallways are a bit noisy, but only if the hotel is crowded. We were there five nights, and the first one was when the town was (unbeknownst to us) host to a slot-car race, and the hotel was full of folks who live for noise. The halls rang with their voices and shuffling about. But then they all cleared off, and the place was absolutely serene. We would stay there again. Bring a good camera to photograph the spectacular view outside your window and the breakfast area. We were there in May and the fog made it colder outside than we expected. Oh--keep in mind that Erice is a tiny town with no place to do/take laundry or internet point. The hotel has free wi-fi, however.
