A wonderful stay in Trapani. We stayed 3 nights with a young child (2.5yrs) and it was perfect.
Communication with our host and getting settled was excellent, quick and seamless.
The apartment has everything you would need to accommodate a short or longer stay. There are several stairs up, which wasn’t a problem for us, even with a young child. The view of the port/harbor is an added bonus.
The neighborhood has much to offer within walking distance. Walking all the way to the tip of Trapani to the fish market was easy and highly recommended. The old city, parks, beach, restaurants, cafes, gelaterias, and wine shops all at your fingertips. Our one regret is not trying the restaurant downstairs from the apartment, reservations are needed and we didn’t plan accordingly. It was full every evening with locals and from what we saw and smelled walking in, and the recommendations from others we probably should have made a better effort. There is also a great little cafe just next door, which was perfect each morning. The barista was very friendly and we miss him already.
The location is also perfect for those wishing to visit outside of Trapani as well as the city itself. The drive from Palermo airport was about 45 minutes. It is a very quick drive to reach Erice, or the Funivia to the top. Easy day trips include everything from Palermo south including Marsala, the islands ( by boat), Salt Pans, San Vito, 3 different and gorgeous nature reserves, Segesta and so much more. We loved the western beaches and countryside.
In addition to an amazing stay with great hospitality, Maria Teresa went way out of her way to help us when we left important documents in the apartment. We didn’t realize until we were on the other side of Sicily, Maria Teresa overnighted the package to us, we couldn’t be more thankful.
P.S. Do not miss the arancini shop mentioned in other reviews. We only wish we had gotten more for the road.
