What guests say

Reviews consistently highlight the excellent cleanliness of the accommodation, the comfort and spaciousness of the rooms, and the warm hospitality of the host, who is praised for being helpful and attentive. The breakfast is a standout feature, with guests enjoying plentiful, homemade options, including local specialties and fresh produce. The location is quiet yet well-positioned for visiting Trapani, Erice, and nearby beaches, especially convenient for those with a car and easy parking. The value for money is frequently cited as very good. Overall, guests feel at home and would happily return, only occasionally mentioning its location slightly outside the center as a minor note.

Very quiet location. Parking in front of the house. The beach is within walking distance. Nino is happy to give tips for outings and restaurants. Breakfast, as is customary in Italy, therefore only six points. Otherwise everything was great.

Grazie per tutti gli elogi Mi dispiace che non abbia apprezzato la nostra colazione, peraltro molto apprezzata dagli altri ospiti! Se c'è lo avesse chiesto avremmo provveduto a prepararle uova, bacon, würstel, ecc. Se ci sarà un'altra occasione faremo di tutto per farla sentire come a casa! Grazie!

B&B, clean, new and spacious rooms. The owner is a gentleman with an uppercase S, always available, who puts passion into everything he does. If we return to Trapani, we will definitely come back here because we had a great time.

Magnificent experience. Very well-kept and spotlessly clean property. Delicious breakfast, in the lovely outdoor courtyard, with delicacies specially prepared and carefully by Mr. Nino. The manager treated me and my colleague like daughters, we felt very pampered. If I were to return to Trapani, I would definitely choose this B&B again. Highly recommended.

Excellent facility, clean and a few steps from the center. Serene neighborhood and the kindness of Mr. Nino reigns supreme! I recommend it to everyone... I stayed there with my husband and my 7-year-old son and we had a great time.

Grazie Rita! Peccato che il Vostro soggiorno sia stato breve, ma spero di riaverVi ancora come graditi ospiti. Saluti Nino

randy

We were very happy with our stay. Our host went out of his way to make sure we had all the information that we needed. We had rented a car and we were worried about where to park. There was no need to worry because there was lots of parking out front. Our breakfasts were more than enough. Our host is an excellent cook, and even fed us some Aricina for breakfast due to a holiday tradition. We stayed for three nights and had great access to Erice, the nature reserve in Scopello, the salt fields of Trapani and the wines of Marsala!

The structure is new, clean and tidy, in a quiet area with parking, just outside the center of Trapani (reachable in less than ten minutes by car). Five minutes away you can find the free beach of San Giuliano, as well as various establishments. Mr. Antonino, the manager, was welcoming and was able to give us excellent advice thanks to his personal and professional experience. Every day, the breakfasts were well-prepared, with tasty homemade sweet and savory products, something that in my opinion is hard to find in a Bed and Breakfast. The room is spacious and quiet thanks to the new windows. Another positive point was the air conditioning, as well as the large shower. Highly recommended!

Located in a quiet location, close to the promenade that leads to the center of Trapani. Nino is an excellent host. The Italian breakfast is good and plentiful, especially the orange just picked from the tree.

Grazie Massimo. Avrei voluto fare di più, ma il soggiorno è stato breve!

arianna

In addition to the location (a few hundred meters from the Trapani establishments) which can be the starting point for subsequent excursions in the surroundings (Erice, the fabulous beach of Macari, San Vito…), the structure (clean and spacious rooms), as they say in these cases the true “added value” is given by the host: Antonino! A truly exquisite person who pampered us for four days with his breakfasts (fruit from his farm and pastries prepared by him) and his advice that made us fully experience the holiday, he really considered us part of his family. Thank you!

Meritavate ancora di più! Grazie!

nunzio

Recommended structure for the good location if you are looking for a quiet place to rest and close to the points of interest in the area. Everything is new, well furnished, and very clean. As a complement, if not as the main point of the stay, the manager. Courteous and helpful, made our stay at the property truly enjoyable thanks to his attention, friendliness, and for having prepared a typical, abundant, and healthy breakfast with the fruits of his land. We are happy to have stayed at Il Giardino di Enea and will definitely return.

Grazie! Molto gentili anche voi.

rosa

Very satisfied with the choice: the structure is located in a very quiet area, just outside the city, very close to the sea (free beach and beautiful beaches), in a single-family building, with a lovely little garden, where excellent breakfasts are consumed, with genuine products, largely prepared by the owner, a delightful person, always ready to meet the customer's requests. Very accurate cleaning of the premises, the rooms are spacious and bright, equipped with air conditioning, furnished simply but with great functionality. The bathroom is also spacious, with a comfortable shower. Free parking in front of the structure. Excellent value for money.

Mr. Antonino is extremely kind and his B&B is a little gem. Spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, large showers, all very well-kept and spotlessly clean. We stayed for 8 days with our 4-year-old children and it was all perfect! Thank you!

Structure a bit on the outskirts but optimal if you are traveling by car. Extreme cleanliness and breakfast full of delicacies. The Manager is always present and ready to give advice to meet the guests' needs. I would only recommend changing the mattresses, too soft for our tastes.

stayed from 04/25/2018 to 04/30/2018

paola

The structure is comfortable and clean, the rooms spacious and tastefully furnished. What really makes the place special is the owner: Mr. Antonino is polite, attentive, caring, and very friendly. We were two couples with two 10-month-old girls and he made himself completely available to us, allowing us to use the kitchen to prepare the little ones' baby food. The large common area allowed us to chat among adults while they played together. The breakfast is excellent with sweet pastries and savory snacks prepared by the owner, not to mention the exceptional freshly squeezed orange juice from their own production. The location is very convenient for visiting both Trapani and Erice and the rest of the Province (you need to have a car of course). B&B Il Giardino di Enea HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

teddi

For us, it was the first time in Sicily, and it couldn't have been better! Antonino advised us on charming places to visit, printing out fabulous itineraries for us. Upon our return, we missed his breakfast, the best Sicilian sweets on our table, a true delight. We can only thank Antonino for his hospitality; everything was perfect from the first to the last day, the structure is ok, but the atmosphere remains in the heart. Thank you from all of us!

I stayed with my wife at 'Il Giardino di Enea' from August 14, 2017, to August 18, 2017. We had a great time: clean rooms, excellent breakfast, and a helpful and kind owner, always ready to advise you on the best solutions and the most beautiful places to see. The structure is strategically located to visit the most beautiful locations in western Sicily.

Extraordinary: We stayed at this property from 06/08/2016 to 16/08/2016 and we had a great time. The location is perfect for both the sea and all the excursions in the surroundings, the property is very clean, tastefully furnished and located in a quiet area. Very good breakfast, with always fresh fruit, croissants and typical products personally prepared by the owner. What about Mr. Antonino.. Affable, kind, polite and generous with valuable advice. Highly recommended property. Thank you Antonino.. See you soon!

The best Bed and Breakfast where we have ever stayed! It is a structure curated in every detail, and the manager has done an excellent job in this. Moreover, he is a delightful person, providing us with plenty of useful information on how to get to Erice sea and Erice high, giving us numerous maps and advice, and above all, accommodating us with a surprisingly varied breakfast prepared specifically for our dietary needs and issues: all truly delicious! We felt at home, even better considering the convenient location for both the sea and Erice high and the royal service we experienced! I recommend everyone to stay here if you want to visit Erice and Trapani.

I stayed at this Bed and Breakfast from July 15th to 22nd, 2016 with a friend. The structure is well-maintained and welcoming. The rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean. You sleep like a charm at night, no annoying noises. Abundant and varied breakfast.\n\nMr. Antonio who manages the structure is very helpful and always attentive to the needs of the customers.\n\nOptimal location, 10 minutes walk from the beautiful Erice beach and 10 minutes drive from the center of Trapani.

I stayed in this B&B from July 15th to 22nd, 2016. My compliments go to Mr. Antonio who manages it with great passion. The structure is very well-kept, modern, and extremely clean. Strategic location: 10 minutes on foot from the beautiful beach of Erice and 10 minutes by car from Trapani, from where ferries depart to visit Levanzo, Favignana, and Marettimo. Less than an hour from the main Sicilian cities such as San Vito Lo Capo, Palermo, Segesta, Marsala. Rich breakfast with homemade pastries made by Mr. Antonio.

serena

I left this Bed and Breakfast with a heavy heart after being literally pampered for a week! The strong point of the structure is Mr. Antonio, the owner, a person of kindness and care from another era. Every day full of advice and practical help to make our stay the best possible, but above all, he had special considerations for me, since I suffer from food intolerances (yeasts, white flours, dairy products, and garlic) and he made sure every day to provide me with an exquisite breakfast, made of sweets and little pizzas made by him. And not only that: during the stay, he surprised me with a wonderful cake to celebrate my birthday. I have never found such treatment elsewhere. I won't go on, even though I could tell you about other attentions and the thousand tips he gave us every day, about the beautiful, large, and comfortable room, I summarize by saying that at the Bed and Breakfast Il Giardino di Enea, the treatment is five stars. Thank you Antonio.

We stayed at 'Il Giardino di Enea' which deserves 5 stars in every way. Mr. Antonino is a person who welcomes you as if he had always known you. His kindness and availability make you feel comfortable and at home. If we return to the area, this B&B will definitely be our reference point.

We can recommend this accommodation without any restrictions. Friendly hospitality, clean and comfortable rooms with very nice bathrooms. Compared to some 4-star hotels in Trapani (120,-/night and not necessarily very clean), a great accommodation.

Without a doubt, it is the best B&B I have ever been to. Excellent structure, cared for in every detail, impeccable daily cleaning, excellent breakfast and the thousand attentions of Mr. Antonio made this vacation truly special. He is a unique person who always gave us excellent advice on how to make the most of our available vacation days, always attentive, kind, and available on any occasion. I definitely recommend it to everyone, you won't regret it.

Kindness and availability in a welcoming and quiet environment (despite being a stone's throw from the historic center), meticulously cared for both in the cleanliness of the spaces and in the care of the guests. Mr. Antonio is a lovely person and an excellent source of advice: thanks to his suggestions, we had a great stay both from a tourist and culinary point of view. Breakfast is a relaxing and delicious moment, to be enjoyed either in the veranda or in the kitchen. Impeccable bedrooms and bathrooms: towels are even changed daily (very few B&Bs offer this service). Since overnight stay is an important moment of the vacation itself, I believe that the B&B services and Mr. Antonio's attentions have enriched our trip, making it unforgettable. I highly recommend it to all those intending to stay in Erice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Antonio.

A very pleasant week at the B&B Il Giardino di Enea. Excellent breakfast with fresh and genuine products. Clean and well-furnished room.

I highly recommend this B&B, in the beautiful setting of Erice. Congratulations indeed.
