Erice Hotel Guide - Giardino del Balio hotels in Erice, Italy.

"Everything was perfect "

"The Owner was very friendly and accommodating. The appartament was clean and average for Sicily. We only stayed one night so didnt used the kitchen. The place may be ok in the summertime but definitely not a place to stay in winter as the one reverse air-conditioning unit did not heat the apartment at all and we had to leave it on all night to get some warmth. "

"The hotel, staff, breakfast, bathroom and bedroom were all very good. The poor rating is because it's impossible to get a decent sleep! The stairs up to my room and a cluster of other rooms are made of wood, so when one group of guests came home at 1:05am, I'm woken up just by their footsteps clomping and echoing on the wooden stairs. Then at 3:41am, a family leaves early for the airport, so I'm re-awoken, again by the stairs. No one was rude or yelling or drunk. The design makes it inevitable that anyone walking up or down these stairs will wake the people in those 4 rooms. And ironically I had specifically asked for the "quietest room possible" as I'm no partier. The fact they haven't fixed this terrible design and didn't bother to find me a better room given my request is very disappointing. "

"We had a wonderful stay and truly can’t recommend this cottage enough. AnnaMaria was a pleasure to work with - she was incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely warm and kind throughout our stay.The cottage itself is rustic in the best possible way - simple, comfortable, and full of character. It has two rooms plus a bathroom: a bedroom with a stunning view, and a main living space that includes a well-stocked kitchen, a small table perfect for eating or working, and a daybed that functions as a couch for watching TV.The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed is on the firmer side, which will be perfect for many guests. We prefer a softer mattress and found an easy solution by using the very thick mattress pads from the daybed in the kitchen - this completely transformed the bed and made it extremely comfortable. With this option, the bed truly works for everyone.The patio is absolutely spectacular and would feel like an additional living space in warmer weather. We stayed for a full week and loved every minute of it. The WiFi worked well for everyday use; for Zoom calls it was a bit spotty at times but still doable.The location of this cottage is unbeatable - overlooking the property’s vineyard with sweeping views of farmland, Trapani, and the Mediterranean Sea. It is peaceful, private, and completely free of nearby neighbors. Staying here truly felt like an adventure and a retreat all at once.If you’re looking for a place…"

"Rooms are pretty simple but comfortable and clean. The included breakfast was delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful."

"Es ist wirklich ein Erlebnis. Da Haus ist sehr großzügig und es hat großen historischen Charme. Die Unterkunft ist etwas besonderes. Die Terrasse hat einen wundervollen Ausblick. Dort zu sitzen und gemeinsam zu essen ist ein Genuss. Es ist alles da, was man braucht, um einen tollen Aufenthalt mit Familie zu genießen. Der Pool ist ebenfalls sehr schön. Es ist auch schön, den großzügigen Garten zu entdecken, mit seinen Olivenbäumen und vor allem mit den vielen duftenden Zitrusbäumen. Die Umgebung ist ebenfalls sehr angenehm und hat viel Ausstrahlung und bietet Erholungswert."

"Nice room, very nice town. The location of the hotel is very good. Hosts were very nice and informative "

"Functional, dated with limited services in October. TV is not smart for example. Adequate for 1 night."

"This is the most AMAZING property!!! We have been traveling all over Sicily for a month, and this was bar far our FAVORITE Villa. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location is private, but still close to the activities ( boat excursion in Trapani and village/castle in Erice). This Villa is the quintessential Sicilian home. We will definitely be back!!"
