Best Hotels in Valderice

Una perla nel cuore di Erice. Bella struttura, personale iincantevole e una cucina deliziosa.

We spent 2 weeks traveling around Sicily and this was our favorite B&B! The property is lovely with beautiful gardens. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. We liked the outside table and chairs and sat out there often. There was a distant sea view. We ate in their restaurant for breakfast and dinner. All was excellent. Everything is grown on the farm. The real stars of this B&B is the staff who were very helpful answering our requests, handling the laundry, cleaning our room and serving our meals. The location is off a main road and near other main roads but it is out in the country.

A fabulous hotel. We stayed in a room with a balcony which was a nice size, very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was wonderful with a lot of choice. Staff were happy and want to help you. They gave us some ideas for different types of restaurants, one that we went to was a pizza restaurant, it was the best pizza I have ever eaten! The hotel is centrally located to the port and the beaches, right in the middle of the roads to take you to the shops. It is quiet with a large car park (payable) and a garden type piazza. There is a fabulous bakery/cafe attached to the building. I would definitely stay again. Do check your rooms though as this is a converted hotel from a very old building so each room is slightly different in shape and size.

PROs: - Pleasant country surroundings - Large rooms CONs: - Reception is hit and miss: the first two gals were pleasant, even if completely inefficient – they never got the phone in the room to work, thus every time you needed something from the reception,bar, or room service, you had to walk to the desk to ask for it. The replacement was worse: rude and completely not interested in the problems of the customers. - Overwhelming stink of cheap after-shave accompanies you everywhere: reception, restaurant, bar, your room. I cannot help it but think that this is their way of covering some ugly aromas around... If at least the bugs were to run away from it, but they don’t: flying bugs, hopping bugs, crawling bugs, all kind of bugs - Pathetical bathroom and shower, fit for a motel, not for a four star hotel. - It’s in the middle of nowhere, so you are a captive audience. As such, you are charged ridiculous prices: €24 for a Johnny Walker black, NYC price, €3.50 for a miniature bag of chips - Pool is not heated - Towels on the grayish side and fading fast - The Prix fix dinner is ridiculous: a starter of eggplants, cheese & tomatoes and some pasta afterwards, accompanied by four glasses of wine, one smelling and tasting like gasoline ( to their credit, they replaced it when we complained). - Barking dog all night long - Noise from the near-by highway, nonstop. Avoid if you can.

Beautiful hotel, staff were amazing and so helpful. would definitely go back. It is great as a 3 star hotel, the staff treated us much better than that. The breakfast was the only thing that let it down. All the hot food was in the same container so no good for cross contamination or for vegetarians. The place was clean and the staff gave us everything we asked for.

We arrived at this hotel after driving from Cosenza 8 hours. Both my husband and I had colds. We also made this reservation 8 months ago. The young attendant at the check in counter wanted us to sign a bar stipend and write our visa number down. I refused to do that and she gave me a roll of her eyes and was indignant as if I had insulted her! She then proceeded to want to give us ”information” about the hotel--insensitive to the weary, sick travellers in front of her. I said ”no” and she took offense again and gave me one of those indignant shrugs of her shoulders and roll of her eyes as if I had just insulted her yet again. She then put us up in a lower level floor which we weren't happy about. We stayed in the lower level floor for one night. We were not happy about this and asked to stay in a higher level floor for all the other nights. The next morning two tired, weary travellers had to move all our stuff to a higher level floor. We had made this reservation 8 months ago. No consideration for that fact. Because we decided to stay in Trapani for an extra week and changed our plans of going to Pantelleria--due to our colds, we asked to stay in the same room at this hotel for the rest of the two weeks. At first they wouldn't let us stay in the same room. After much talking to the Director and the check in staff, which took a lot out of us as we both had colds still, they let us stay in the same room. The disrespect of their young staff, when we first arrived toward seniors and for putting us on the first floor instead of the higher floors, I asked for a discount on our hotel bill which they refused to do. The staff a this hotel is not accommodating, moreover they are rude, entitled, and treat foreigners with disdain.

La Gancia is a hotel overlooking the water in Trapani. The TA reviews were very positive, but when I called to reserve they were full. They suggested the Gaura Apartments, which they operate next door. We booked 2 apartments, one being the penthouse. Both apartments had balconies overlooking the sea. The penthouse had an additional one with a dramatic view of the duomo. The apartments were very clean and large with a separate sleeping area apart from the living room. The doors to the balconies can be fully opened and the sea sits just below your window. The staff at La Gancia provide the same concierge services as the hotel. I have never been greeted by a more helpful and cheerful staff. A special call out to Claudia,Aurora, and Andria who helped us with anything we needed or had difficulty with. I want to add that I found the travel guidebooks I used did a disservice to the city of Trapani. The old city is charming ,and the port to the islands is very close to the hotel and apartments. Erice, accessed from a cable car ride on the edge of town was absolutely magical and one could easily spend a full day there. We had only booked 2 nights in Trapani and left sooner than we would have wished. Consider this location as a base to the towns on the west coast of Sicily.
