IL Carmine is a former convent and a historic building. Beautiful architecture. Very nice restaurant. The rooms are on the smaller side but very clean with excellent ensuite bathrooms. Pillows and queen mattress were in great shape and ac worked well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. An excellent breakfast was provided in the price of the room as was free parking right in front of the hotel. We found Il Carmine to be an excellent value.
Two nights stay. Our room was on the small size but adeguate and clean.
Breakfast was good, very tasty croissants.
Staff very helpful.
Good position, walking distance to the centre and main touristic points.
We had a spacious room with sofas and chairs. Very easy once parked to get to the beautiful city. Forget google maps. Ring reception they were so helpful
Beautiful hotel. Room was clean and cozy. The bed was soft. The staff were friendly. We stayed mid October, during the off season, so the hotel restaurant was closed. I wish I would have know that in advance. Also, most restaurants were also closed for dinner in the area. Overall, good experience.
Stayed one night. But this little gem is in a perfect location, great parking right across the way. Breakfast was great too. Lovely hotel, lovely grounds would recommend
Il Carmine was previously a religious building and I can only feel envy for its past occupants - a beautiful building with lovely cool rooms and shuttered windows. It’s in a great location with virtually no noise around the building. The restaurant is also lovely!

Functional, dated with limited services in October. TV is not smart for example. Adequate for 1 night.
Nice hotel in a, quiet location at the end of town. You can get to everything from here on foot. Good directions on where to park, what to see and do. Very nice staff.
It would have been helpful for the hotel to send WhatsApp directions on the best way to reach the hotel; we ended up in the middle of the cobblestone town trying to navigate through it. Instead there was a second easier way (all paved roads) to the hotel we found out when leaving.
Chambre conforme aux photos, personnel très agréable, petit déjeuner varié, et parking juste en face de l'établissement, ce qui n'est pas négligeable pour les voyageurs en voiture.
Perfeito, localização execelente, apenas muita dificuldade em estacionar, o hotel não tem.parque e fica situado dentro da muralha o que impossibilita o acesso de carro. O pequeno almoço é soberbo, apesar da pouca variedade, a mesma é de uma qualidade excelente nomeadamemte para um hotel 3 estrelas. Experiência recomemdada sem duvida um otimo local na maravilhosa cidade de Erice
Skønt Tilføj billede afautentisk hotel midt i byen

Den største anbefaling herfra
Il Carmine è un edificio storico del 1400 molto bello.
La camera Junior Suite da noi prenotata si presenta grande, spaziosa e silenziosa. Molto comodo il letto ma non altrettanto i cuscini.
La pulizia è da attenzionare, c’era della polvere sui mobili e sotto il letto. Staff molto cortese ed accogliente. Buona la prima colazione offerta.
