Giardini Mon Plaisir

Liked: Cleanliness, hosts attention to details. We felt like we had our own private concierge- from first greeting/ breakfast/local information/ and sharing history of this beautiful oasis! What an experience! Loved having the private gardens / pool/ secure parking. Walkable to Erice cable car.

Disliked: Ha! Mosquitos but just take spray then no worries. Remember you are staying in beautiful gardens.

Liked: Beautiful location. A nice garden around the house. Staff very accommodating. We truly enjoyed our stay

Liked: Everything, clean, very cute, included parking, a nice pool and pretty grounds. Location is great about 10 minute drive to old town and 5 minute drive or (15 minute walk) to Erice cable cars. Very quiet and comfortable. Wonderful breakfast. Best of all is the owner Agostino and his staff that were all extremely helpful and kind. He made several great recommendations for dinners and tours to take. They even prepared a breakfast basket for us for our 6 am flight from Palermo when we left. Felt just like home! Highly recommend this great B&B!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Loved the attention to quality details, from the service to the food.

Disliked: It’s a little out of town, but we knew that before booking.

Liked: Giardini Mon Plaisir was our favorite hotel during our recent vacation in Sicily. The building itself is an old family home that Agostino, the owner and our host, has updated into a lovely bed and breakfast. Our bedroom was quiet – indeed the whole house is very quiet even though it sits in an urban neighborhood – and well laid out. The second floor has a wonderful common sitting room. As a first introduction to Giardini Mon Plaisir we were given a refreshing drink outside in the large courtyard with antique statues. There is also a small pool available to guests. Breakfasts were wonderful. Excellent coffee, breads, ripe fruit and made to order scrambled eggs. The tables are set far apart providing plenty of privacy. The hotel is a little outside the historic center but one can take the bus or a cab to reach the historical center or other sites. If you arrive with a car, there is parking in front of the house behind the properties gate. As an added attraction there is a wonderful museum, Museo Regionale Agostino Pepoli, a three minute walk from the front gates. But what makes it most special is that Agostino is a perfect host. He suggested places to visit, helped with reservations and arranged cab rides for us. He also shared family stories and a bit of personal history. Roberto and other staff members are also warm and accommodating.

Disliked: There was nothing at the hotel that we didn't like. The neighborhood around the hotel didn't have much in the way of restaurants. There was a good counter service/take-out place a few blocks away but most restaurants are in the historic center.

Liked: The hostess that served us breakfast, checked us in and out was amazing. She remembered that I took cappuccino and that my husband took caffe Americano. The tiered platter of sweets was excellent - especially the croissants. And we enjoyed eggs and bacon a few mornings. The most important part was that we had decided to leave our last location early and asked if they could provide us an extra night and voila, no problem and room was ready on our arrival. Would stay there again!

Disliked: Can't think of anything.

Liked: Excellent communication prior to our arrival (and during). Out stay was in a hidden gem setting in the heart of the city. The bedroom was lovely and like stepping back in time in this centuries old grand home. The gardens were lovely and the breakfast was AMAZING! The staff were all so kind and helpful. We would definitely stay there again! Grazie, Pete and Alberta in Washington state.

Liked: An oasis in Trapani, a beautiful villa with lush garden and pool on the property, excellent breakfasts, spacious clean room, and an attentive courteous staff. Thank you Agostino, Alessandro and Simona!
