My husband and I spent two nights here in July 2010. The accommodation is just outside the centre of the old village, which is a short walk uphill from the hotel. The hotel has an unusual arrangement of rooms, which are each in an individual building arranged in a miniature ‘village’ rather than in one main block. The accommodation was... More

You will not believe the views from this hotel-however, it's not a hotel in the usual sense of the word-it's several individual cabins each with it's own sun deck and spectacular view of the countryside. You are 750m up and can see for miles! The room was more like a cabin room than a hotel room and had a refrigerator... More

We used La Pineta as a based to explore western Sicily. Its location on the edge of the old town of Erice provides for a nice, quiet setting. Our room/cabin was clean, comfortable and very quiet. We also had a very nice patio that had a great view of the sea. Both breakfast and the restaurant have great food and... More

Pretty quiet hotel. The rooms are scattered in a pine forest in bungalow style buildings with private entrance and are connected to each other and with the reception and the local restaurant through a small network of trails. Although they are equipped with all the basic comforts of the case (bath, air conditioning, courtyard and garden etc), the rooms are... More

Easy walking distance to town. Note however- a lot of stair climbing required. This is not a place for people with disabilities. Internet only available in bar area. Rooms are comfortable and many have great views. More

Exhilarating drive up the mountain. Well marked directional signage. Spectacular views of valley and sea. Ten degrees or more cooler than coast which was a welcome relief. Freestanding, well appointed rooms with private terrace cliffside. Never seen anything quite like it before. More

La Pineta's stone cottages in a mountainside pine forest just alongside ancient Erice's walls were simple but comfortable -- and for us, looking 30 years later to re-trace our wedding trip, which in 1981 began in Erice (a town consecrated to Venus in antiquity), La Pineta was the "novelty" that topped our honeymoon hotel experience. The rooms have the core... More

La Pineta is a unique and worthwhile hotel to consider if staying in Erice. Well priced, plenty of space, clean, with private individual "cabins". While it was cold during our stay, the in-room heater worked fine to keep things cozy. Lufthansa had lost our luggage in Milan and Annamaria at the front desk was unbelievably helpful, making numerous phone calls... More

An excellent location for a peacful, short holiday. Reception staff very efficient and friendly, however restaurant staff seemed untrained. Breakfast was poor. We had to ask for cheese, ham and fresh bread every day. Stale, small pieces of bread were offered and the fresh bite size baquettes had to be asked for and we had to wait for more than... More
