We came back. Yes, again. This time we stayed in the Levanzo room, and I have to say: best water pressure in the bathroom. After walking around Trapani in the heat, this matters more than people admit. I also slept like a rock, which is always the real test of a hotel. We did not use breakfast this time, but the staff still prepared my coffee in a carton cup so I could take it with me before training at **Dino’s Gym** nearby. Worth it. Old-school local gym, real trainers available, and a proper Sicilian gym atmosphere. Tell them Leo from New York sent you. Giardini Mon Plaisir is not just a hotel; it is a total experience. Small, intimate, elegant, and very Sicilian. After trekking around the area, the pool is a must. Ask for ice, pour yourself a scotch, and you may find other civilized people doing the same. We met a very nice, well-traveled couple from England this way, which proves that good hotels attract good characters. They also have space to park cars. Tight, yes, but this is Sicily, not a New Jersey mall parking lot. It works. The house staff is once again well trained and skillful. Alessandro speaks English and explains things clearly. Roberto is quick, efficient, and always ready to help. The team makes the place feel personal. This time we also noticed the building itself more: the old house, the cementina floors, the typically Sicilian details. It has history, charm, and personality without trying too hard. For dinner in Trapani, look for La Nozze Ubriaca. Worth finding. Yes, we will come back to Giardini Mon Plaisir. At this point, it is becoming a habit.
