The hotel offers a unique Sicilian experience. The rooms, while dark with limited lighting, have a charming balcony overlooking the street. Cleanliness is decent, although some noise from the air conditioning unit can be a bit bothersome. The service is welcoming and multilingual, creating a wonderful atmosphere, but at times, it can feel a bit chilly. The location is central, making it easy to explore beautiful Erice, but navigating with luggage can be complicated. The dining was average with a simple breakfast spread, not remarkable but sufficient. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks that reflect the essence of Sicily.
I felt like I was in a cozy cave as the room wasn't particularly bright, but it didn't bother me much because it was comfortable. The street-facing wood-shuttered window provided a great view of the charming street life. The small TV and hard twin beds were the only drawbacks.
