Pretty quiet hotel. The rooms are scattered in a pine forest in bungalow style buildings with private entrance and are connected to each other and with the reception and the local restaurant through a small network of trails. Although they are equipped with all the basic comforts of the case (bath, air conditioning, courtyard and garden etc), the rooms are... More

Easy walking distance to town. Note however- a lot of stair climbing required. This is not a place for people with disabilities. Internet only available in bar area. Rooms are comfortable and many have great views. More

Exhilarating drive up the mountain. Well marked directional signage. Spectacular views of valley and sea. Ten degrees or more cooler than coast which was a welcome relief. Freestanding, well appointed rooms with private terrace cliffside. Never seen anything quite like it before. More

La Pineta's stone cottages in a mountainside pine forest just alongside ancient Erice's walls were simple but comfortable -- and for us, looking 30 years later to re-trace our wedding trip, which in 1981 began in Erice (a town consecrated to Venus in antiquity), La Pineta was the "novelty" that topped our honeymoon hotel experience. The rooms have the core... More

La Pineta is a unique and worthwhile hotel to consider if staying in Erice. Well priced, plenty of space, clean, with private individual "cabins". While it was cold during our stay, the in-room heater worked fine to keep things cozy. Lufthansa had lost our luggage in Milan and Annamaria at the front desk was unbelievably helpful, making numerous phone calls... More

An excellent location for a peacful, short holiday. Reception staff very efficient and friendly, however restaurant staff seemed untrained. Breakfast was poor. We had to ask for cheese, ham and fresh bread every day. Stale, small pieces of bread were offered and the fresh bite size baquettes had to be asked for and we had to wait for more than... More

We stayed here for one night (and wish we had stayed two - see our negative review of Hotel Eldielweiss!). The location is easily accessed (which is no small feat in Erice!) and well kept. The rooms were chilly during a cold snap, we never did warm up, but otherwise everything was PERFECTO. Terry & Ann - San Diego More

We stayed there for 1 night. The hotel would seem better being a summer resort. The hot water in the shower is hot, however, when the second person in the room took her turn for shower, the water turned ice cold. We have to wait another 15 minutes before the water heat up again. The breakfast is excellent and the... More

In the autumn, with unstable weather, chances seem to be high that Erice is literally sitting in the clouds with 19 degrees, when at that same time at the beach (or in Trapani) it is sunny and 27 degrees. Erice is indeed located on the rock 780m above the see, that can cause cloud formation, the drive from Tapani to... More
