What guests say

Guests consistently appreciate the warm welcome from Paola and her staff, highlighting the impeccable cleanliness and spacious, tastefully decorated rooms. The generous breakfast—often served in the garden with homemade and local products—is a standout feature. The property’s location is convenient for exploring Trapani, though a 15–20 minute walk is needed to reach the historic center; parking nearby is sometimes paid, with free options a short walk away. The internal garden is praised for its relaxing atmosphere. Overall, this accommodation is recommended for those seeking comfort, hospitality, and a home-like atmosphere.

We were warmly welcomed by Paola and received good tips for the city and excursions. The breakfast was plentiful, served in the garden, and individual wishes were fulfilled. The room was large and clean, and we could use the kitchen. It is about a 15-minute walk to the city center and 10 minutes to the beach. Parking in front of the house is paid, but there are free spots within a short walking distance. Highly recommended. Thank you and very beautiful.

The host for Casa Paolo is very nice and accommodating. The room and private bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The Italian breakfast (yogurt, pastries, coffee) provided every morning was very good. The room is part of 3 rooms that the host rents out on a floor of a building that includes a communal living space and kitchen. The room I was in (the red room, nearest the street side) was incredibly noisy at night and in the early morning, with thin windows that did nothing to block out the noise. The building is half a block off a main street, so the traffic noise was loud until midnight, plus the street sweeper and waste/glass recycling truck were noisy in the morning. The host only accepted cash payment, not credit card, despite the fact that I had inputted a credit card for my booking (she told me that was only for last-minute cancelation fees). And, my locked room was entered and cleaned in the middle of my two-night stay.

stayed from 09/23/2023 to 09/25/2023

The answer from the host:
Hi Diana, thanks for your comment. I'm glad you liked the accommodation, but I'm very sorry that the noise bothered you. There is a quieter room in the apartment which overlooks the garden. Unfortunately I don't have a POS at home so if you had paid in advance you could have paid by card via the website. Every day we enter the rooms even if they are locked to tidy up and clean. Best regards

laura

The bed and breakfast La Casa di Paola is very nice and welcoming. It feels like being at your own home. There is a beautiful library in the living room for those who, like us, love to read. But the most beautiful memory was left by Cinzia, who not only prepared us a great breakfast but delighted us with her smile. An exceptional person. Reviews range from 1 to 10, but Cinzia is 100. Laura and Monica are queens of the underground.

The answer from the host:
Ciao ragazze, con piacere leggo che vi siete trovate molto bene e ne sono molto contenta. Speriamo di vederci a Napoli presto :-)

bettina

We stayed at La Casa di Paola for 4 nights and felt very comfortable. Breakfast is served in the garden, you can choose between a European or an Italian breakfast and you are looked after very nicely. Paola welcomed us in a friendly way and gave us tips for activities and great excursions. You can also borrow umbrellas for the beach. Parking directly at the house is not free (blue zone) but that is normal in the area - we parked a little further away in a public car park. \n\nWe can highly recommend La Casa di Paola.

The answer from the host:
Thanks Bettina!! I'm happy that you had a good time and that you recommended my B&B. Best regards

dirk

Well-located accommodation in Trapani in a side street off the main shopping street. Bars, restaurants, shops are easily reachable on foot. Regarding parking: there are plenty of parking spaces available in front of the property, but they need to be paid for during the day except on Sundays and public holidays. Free parking around the corner is possible, but the number of spaces is limited. Otherwise, try to get the garage spot, which is also just a few meters away. Otherwise, the accommodation is top-notch and highly recommended in terms of value for money.

Thanks Dirk for the detailed comment. I'm glad you had a good stay. Greetings :-)

sylvie

Very nice and attentive host. Room is really big. The location is a bit off-centered (20 min walk to the historic center) but with a car it is no issue. The breakfast is exceptional. Fresh and made with love!

The answer from the host:
Thank you Sylvie for your positive comment! Greetings :-)

nicoletta

8 days of complete relaxation, in a comfortable and fully equipped environment. The kindness and professionalism of Paola is complemented by the availability and friendliness of Cinzia who takes care of breakfasts, which are plentiful and with local products. Large room overlooking the garden, which was decisive for me in choosing the b&b. A secret garden equipped for relaxation in the center of Trapani is not obvious. The paintings that adorn the walls are remarkable. Beautiful experience that I recommend.

Very warm welcome from host Paola and entertaining company of the lovely breakfast lady Cinzia. Very rich breakfast and tastefully decorated B&B. The beautiful old town of Trapani is within a 20-minute walk. Many nice boutiques and other shops around the accommodation. Parking available, some for a fee, some free. I always found a free parking spot nearby. Some traffic noise from the main street, but quiet at night. Very comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Beautiful green courtyard, used for breakfast in stable weather conditions. I felt welcomed and very comfortable by Paola!

Hi Anna, thank you for your lovely comment about your stay in my B&B. We are happy that you had a good time and we greet you with affection

marco

I stayed in this B&B for work. I found it very easily as it is located in the center, but not in the traffic restricted area. I parked for free just a few steps from La Casa di Paola. Following the self check-in instructions, I easily reached the room that had been prepared for me. It was a beautiful room, very bright and extremely clean. I had an en-suite bathroom with all the accessories, and I even found the lingerie samples that I had never seen even in 4-star hotels! In the room, there was excellent internet connection and a smart TV. The bed was very comfortable from which I could admire the decorated ceiling of the room. The breakfast the next morning was served in the kitchen, and at the table, I found everything; homemade jams by the owner Paola, fresh bread, cookies, yogurt, and fresh seasonal fruit. I really enjoyed my stay, Paola also gave me some excellent tips on where to go for great fresh fish. I will return every time I have to pass through Trapani.

Grazie Marco per questa dettagliatissimo commento ricco di particolari. Mi fa piacere che tu abbia trascorso un buon soggiorno e che tornerai prossimamente. Un caro saluto Paola

margaret

A good quality accommodation but a good 25-minute walk from the center of the old town. Paying in cash is a requirement that made us pay an extra 5 euros (2 nights). Free parking is not possible immediately outside.

stayed from 05/16/2023 to 05/18/2023

The answer from the host:
Hi Margaret, I am very sorry that you have paid 5 euros to the Bank for your currency exchange. In my B&B you paid the price already agreed during the booking in cash, and not the extra 5 euros. I am also so sorry that you have not found parking a few meters from the house as the other guests of the b&b have always found. On the other hand, I am so pleased that you took a nice relaxing walk, calmly and admiring the shop windows and buildings to arrive in the pedestrian area of the historic center. You have traveled it very calmly, but as the other reviews testify, the center is about 15 minutes away on foot. (Google maps says 14 minutes). Greetings Paula

isabella

At La Casa di Paola, it's a beautiful bed and breakfast where you feel at home, pampered from the beginning to the end of your stay. Paola is super organized and every detail is carefully planned with care and passion. Everything is extremely clean and nice to see. The breakfast is super good and plentiful, curated by Cinzia, is truly delicious. It was a wonderful stay and I really recommend it!

The bed and breakfast "La Casa di Paola" is located in a quiet and central area of Trapani. From here, it's easy to reach the city center, the train station, and the port. The bus stop for the airport is just a few steps away from the house. The charming apartment is equipped with everything you need, neat and very clean. The rooms, spacious and bright, have very comfortable beds. The kindness and availability of Paola, the owner, made me feel at home! The breakfast, carefully prepared by Cinzia, is excellent, with delicious homemade jams and cake! A wonderful experience, absolutely recommended!

Exceptional location! Spacious and very clean room and bathroom, our room overlooked the internal garden where in the morning we went down to have a fabulous breakfast, with cakes prepared by Paola, various croissants, dried and seasonal fruits, and even the bananas picked from the tree in the garden. Thanks to Paola and Giacomo (the guy who served breakfast), very hospitable and available to provide useful tips and information to spend the holiday. Experience definitely to be repeated... See you soon Marilena and Claudio.

laura

Paola has been welcoming and helpful right from the start, and it really felt like being at home. She prepared wonderful and abundant breakfasts with care and advised us on places to visit, beaches, and local spots. The cleanliness of the room and the facility were impeccable, and the inner garden made the stay very quiet and pleasant. The location, although not very close to the center, is strategic for those arriving and wanting to travel by car, and in 15 minutes on foot you reach the historic center. Highly recommended for those looking for a familiar and quiet place in Trapani.

Grazie Laura, felicissima di leggere la tua recensione molto positiva e dettagliata. Una caro saluto a voi e a presto :-) Paola

Paola and Giacomo were fantastic! Clean BnB, large and nicely decorated room, tasty and plentiful breakfast to start the day. My favorite is the garden area where you can relax in the evening or get some sunlight if you don't want to go to the beach (15 min walk).

doug

Paola was fantastic! Her rooms were very clean and the ceiling designs were beautiful. \n\nThe breakfast was fantastic and hand-catered by Paola herself. Great coffee, tea, juice, bread, and a variety of toppings and side dishes. Other B&Bs may just give a meal ticket to a local restaurant, but Paola does it all herself. In addition, her backyard garden is beautiful, peaceful, and decorated with lush green plants. \n\nIf you stay in Trapani, I can easily recommend staying at La Casa di Paola.

The B&B is truly charming, far superior to four-star hotels in terms of cleanliness and breakfast. The owner, Paola, elevates the level of the structure to five stars: extremely kind, very helpful and generous with advice, not for personal gain, but to ensure that her guests have a top-notch experience. Do not hesitate to ask! Note: the breakfast offers more choices than you could wish for!
