Nice hotel in a, quiet location at the end of town. You can get to everything from here on foot. Good directions on where to park, what to see and do. Very nice staff. It would have been helpful for the hotel to send WhatsApp directions on the best way to reach the hotel; we ended up in the middle of the cobblestone town trying to navigate through it. Instead there was a second easier way (all paved roads) to the hotel we found out when leaving.

Il Carmine was previously a religious building and I can only feel envy for its past occupants - a beautiful building with lovely cool rooms and shuttered windows. It’s in a great location with virtually no noise around the building. The restaurant is also lovely!

Very average but could easily improve
Interesting property being what i believe to be an ex-monastery. It’s still retains that feel. It was comfortable but I felt the service was below par. Breakfast was just about acceptable with bread, cake, a few slices of cheese and slivers of processed meat. It is well located within Erice. It wouldn’t take an awful lot of effort to see improvements at the hotel.

Geat hotel for Erice
Erice is lovely, hotel is well located and easy to find n park. If it had a safe and kettle and tea n coffee in the room it would be 10/10 for me. Many Italian hotels provide such facilities these days.

Best meal ever! Beautifully redone rooms
Convent beautifully redone into hotel. I had my best meal of our three week trip in Italy here! Customer service was excellent. Room and bathroom were ridiculously large even by American standards. Bathroom was like a spa with whirlpool tub.

We loved the hilltop village of Erice. It was like going back in time. And we especially loved our room overlooking the large courtyard at the old convent turned hotel. This small hotel had everything to meet our needs and we felt very comfortable and welcomed. While most restaurants were closed on Sunday night, we found a great cozy restaurant with wonderful food, as is the case is all of Scicily.

Charming hotel
Il Carmine has very competent and helpful staff. The location is ideal in a beautiful local town. You will need to walk up some steps/hill to get to the main area of the town. The parking area is closeby so perfect if you have a car. A nice comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

Romantic stay
We loved our stay in Erice. The hotel is lovely, very minimalistic but super comfortable. We arrived late afternoon to beautiful sunshine and enjoyed the fantastic views before the fog rolled in. Breakfast was very good, lots of choices for a buffet and good coffee. Free parking just across the piazza which was a plus for us. Lots of good restaurants to choose from for an evening meal.
