Romantic Independent hotels in Trapani, Italy

Great hotel, need a car to get to the great nature reserve and the beach at the end of the cape. Not much near the hotel, so not a good place if your on foot or using public transport. Gas station is right there, very convienient

wonderful place and service; the location and friendly staff made this a memorable stay

Excellent hotel and very peaceful at the the end of June. Fantastic swimming pool, good rooms and excellent service. Breakfast was typically Italian but eggs were available at times. Apart from the pool there is not that much to do at the Hotel but we were happy as we spent most of our time in Marsala or visiting other towns. Marsala has plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance from the hotel even if the first part of the walk isnt that pleasant. The local Bucanieri was very good although a little expensive but you can get good value if you choose carefully. The Nashville which is just a little further away is also excellent and good value. The Illy Bar/cafe is also very good for lunch and the staff are very friendly. The only problem with our break was the standard of the car hire pick up/service at Palermo Airport but that's another story.

From the moment we checked into our hotel we were treated like royalty by the wonderful staff at Hotel delle Palme. Maria even helped us make contact with a distant relative which led to many family gatherings. The view of the sun setting over the Mediterranean from our balcony was priceless. We would definitely go back!

We stayed in this hotel for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. It has lots of character and with only a few rooms to rent it offers a private atmosphere without noisy tourists. The swimming pool is a nice treat on a hot day. Right opposite the hotel, there is a little supermarket where you can buy all necessary food and drink. Also right next to I Mulini Resort, there is another bigger hotel owned by the same person, that offers all the usual i.e. private beach, big swimming pool with a bar etc. which you are also allowed to use anytime. The staff was very friendly. The receptionist was always happy to give an advice on where to go, how to get there etc. I would recommend hiring a car if you decide for this hotel. It is quite remote from the nearest town Trapani and its night life. Don't worry about the cost as parking is free in the town.

I have no words to describe how caring the staff was, from the cleaners- really lovely and nice-, to the reception team and waitress for the breakfast. The reception guys were extremely nice and helpful, providing 5 stars quality and having a super friendly smile at all times. They were very patient with our poor Italian and even tried to teach us a little bit. Breakfast was very nice too, and the waitress were lovely and always asked whether we were fine or we wanted anything else etc. The experience was very good and I can't wait to go back as I felt like being home. The hotel is very clean, new and unbeliavable good for the price. Definitely recommend it.

This was a great Hotel clean rooms (we had a sea view one with balcony). The pool and pool area was good. Multi lingiual reception always helpful. Nice little bar and good restaurant.

More than you can imagine

Me and my wife went there for our honeymoon and stayed 7 days in the hotel. Overall I'm mostly pleased with the hotel but there were a few issues I would like to mention. Even though we mentioned we were there on our honey moon we got nothing special. The had a very poor view, nothing special inside the room (at least a flower would have made a big difference making us feel special). The bathroom was good and clean. The TV and internet however were quite poor. The TV in our room was very very small old tv, (you could not see the score if you are in bed watching a game). More over there were only 10-15 channels all in Italian. I would expect more from a 4 star hotel. Stuff at the hotel was helpful but only a few people spoke English. I was very disappointed that at the end we got charged for using the pool. What 4 star hotel charges guests for using the pool? The told me the price is 20 EUR / per person per day, which I think is very very unfair not to mention on Expedia given that this raises the cost of the room with more that 20%. We were not warned about this charges but there was however some promotion and if you stay a week the charge is only 20 EUR / per person, per week. The hotel is not a walking distance from almost anything. We had a car and in my view if you stay here you must have a car. If you have wheels there are nice places to visit and shop within 10-15 km. All in all we had good time but if I have to do it again I might try a different hotel.

When first arriving at the hotel I was a little alarmed as it is in the old part of Alcamo in a very narrow and somewhat dingy street. I had arrived by car and was pleased to see some reserved parking for guests, although the spaces are tight and limited. When entering the hotel I found the reception experience to be pleasant and efficient and my room to be more than adequate and clean although the air conditioning was very under-powered. The restaurant is very pleasant, a bit on the expensive side but serving good well cooked and presented food in the Sicilian style. The service was very pleasant and helpful although they spoke little English and I very little Italian. The only minus point was the television which the locals wanted to watch all the time. I found the position of the hotel ideal for my purposes, I wanted to visit the ancient sites in the north and west of Sicily, especially as I had a car. I don't think it would suit anyone wanting a sun,sea and sand holiday. I would add this note of warning for anyone driving in Alcamo the streets are in the main extremely narrow and there is an intricate one way system in operation and the Hotel Centrale is very central, luckily I had a very good sat nav. Overall my stay at the hotel was most enjoyable and I would certainly recommend it to others.
