Nice, updated property in a quiet part of town. Rooms were fairly modern. Restaurant on site was delicious, breakfast was good and staff was very helpful and friendly.
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
A dream hotel in an old convent. The team is simply fantastic, efficient and give good advices. I loved my stay there and i would recommend it any time
This is a delightful small hotel run by people who really care. Breakfast was great. The WiFi was sketchy but that’s the fault of a stone building so I can’t fault them. Book a room with a balcony for a lovely experience. And relax in the courtyard if you can. Also a general Erice tip, buy the eur 16 pass and go visit all the sights. Each one is not worth it but collectively it’s an amazing experience.
Erice is very quit and Il Carmine is a very nice and relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed our night there and the ambience of the place is very good. Also th dinner was very good.
The staff is very nice and supportive.
Beds are excellent.
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.

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.
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.
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!

Spectacular city. High up in the clouds. Parking is an issue.
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.
Nyrenoverat och mycket fräscht.
Mycket bra läge och gratis parkering utanför entrén. Perfekt att utforska staden härifrån.
Bra frukost och en mycket bra restaurang för långa goda middagar.
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
