Hotel Elimo is located in the main route through Erice and is a wonderful place to stay. We had a genuine and warm welcome from Antonio. The rooms are simple and in character with the location. However, they come with very comfortable bed and quality bedding; plus, revamped shower rooms and toilets. On checking in we were given a map of this mountain top village and useful tips of the best viewpoints. It’s very high-elevation provided panoramic vistas of the Egadi Islands and the Gulf of Trapani. The hotel is a perfect location for this little corner of paradise. But one with a secret! The sea mists and clouds can combine to make Erice an eerie ghost town; one detached from the rest of the world! Located on the stone paved street the Elimo had all the hallmarks of being in a spooky Sherlock Holmes tale as the mist swirls through the streets. But when the sun shines (and it did) it was a magical place. The hotel is a wonderful base to enjoy the varied walks that loop the town’s hillsides. We were not prepared for what unfolded. A profusion of Sicilian Spring flowers in May, interspersed in the tall grasses. We had a bed and breakfast deal and the dinning rooms comes with stunning views of the lowlands and the distant mountains. The breakfast is buffet style and delivers a fine array of cold meats, cheeses and of course Sicilian pastries. However, it lacks in the choice of fresh fruit. The evening restaurant uses the same location as breakfast and, sadly, lacks any real atmosphere and a rather limited menu. That said that is the only downside of this hotel. On the plus side is the unique and charming lounge area with its antiques, paintings and curiosities. A great place to chill with a glass of one of many local wines the hotel serves. It has a beautiful and warm atmosphere. I would not hesitate to recommend Hotel Elimo.

“Central hotel, ideal for a walking holiday.”

Hotel with a lot of character. The bed was very comfortable and situated on the main street. Good choice at breakfast.

Hotel Elimo is a wonderful place to stay with incredibly helpful and friendly staff, gorgeous premises, and lovely restaurant food. The minute we checked in we were given a map of the best places/food spots/viewpoints to go to in Erice and helpful advice from one of the owners. At the end of our stay they even booked our taxi to the airport for us (which was also very good value) after we inquired about the easiest way to go about it. There is a great choice of seating areas indoor or outdoor in the sun/shade. My friends and I felt very safe and comfortable here, especially with our lovely air-conditioned room. The breakfast included a huge range of delicious options along with hot/cold drinks. The only issue I came across the whole stay was during breakfast one morning I used the bee pollen shaker and it wasn’t until I had started eating that I realised there were maggots in my food. After telling a staff member they showed me that they came from the bee pollen shaker quite offhandedly and quickly gave me a new plate but he didn’t seem all that bothered about it. I would advise anyone to double check before using the pollen as his attitude seemed to me like it wasn’t the first time this had happened. Despite this, there were no other problems at all for the 4 nights we stayed and I was surprised to come across the breakfast issue at all as the service was impeccable in every other instance. I would not hesitate to recommend Hotel Elimo to anyone wanting to stay in Erice, which is a gorgeous place in itself. I would definitely come back!
