Apartments w: Sicily, Italy

Disappointing Experience 🫣 I had a rather unpleasant stay at *Appartamenti Rosa Dei Venti* in Trapani. First of all, the parking situation is very misleading. It's advertised as “free parking near the property,” but in reality, you’ll be given a business card upon arrival with the name of a parking lot located 3 km away in an industrial area beyond the port. They do offer a free shuttle to and from the parking lot, but be prepared to wait. Even if you prearrange your pick-up time, you'll likely have to call and ask “Where are you?” when the time comes. As for the apartment itself — unfortunately, it was far from cozy. The building hardly gets any sunlight, so the space feels dark and chilly. I was freezing at night under a very thin blanket. The bathroom window opens into the shared stairwell, so you can hear people coming in and out, and even sounds from neighboring bathrooms — not exactly pleasant. The location is central, but that also means a lot of street noise. There’s a café just below the windows. I was lucky it was a weekday and they closed around 11 PM — but not without the clatter of dumpsters and shutters being slammed. Conversations from people downstairs are easily heard inside the room. To be fair, the apartment was clean, which is probably the only positive I can mention. In summary, if you're staying in Trapani for just a day or two, I’d recommend booking a hotel instead — something more welcoming and better managed. And unless you're traveling without a car and plan to spend all your time in the city center, this place may not be the best option. For me, it was an overall disappointing experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Taormina Infinity Suites. Before our arrival, communication via WhatsApp was smooth and efficient. The host always responded promptly, making the check-in process easy and stress-free. Although we arrived quite late in the evening, the host warmly welcomed us and kindly helped us carry our luggage downstairs. The rooftop swimming pool was a real highlight. The water was very clean, and the atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The room was beautifully designed, and you could clearly see the care and attention that had gone into every detail. Upon check-out, the host kindly helped us with our luggage again and arranged a taxi to the train station, which saved us a lot of hassle and made our departure much easier. What impressed us most was the genuine hospitality and attention to detail throughout our stay. We felt very well looked after and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended. The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk from Piazza IX Aprile and within easy reach of Taormina’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops.

The owners were very nice and the location was fantastic. The junior suite was very basic. The coffee machine is in the reception area not in the apartment. There is no kettle in the apartment. On arrival they gave us a set of keys. You cannot separate the keys. One of the keys is for all electric in the apartment including the air conditioning. it is advertised as an air conditioned apartment. However with the temperature for the last 4 days being around 36c. You have to take the keys out to lock the apartment so the air conditioning is not on. When you return the apartment was very warm. you have to put the key in for the electricity and get the air conditioning working. It then takes 2 to 3 hour to get it cool. You are paying for an Air condoned apartment. It should be up to you when the air conditioning is on. A separate key should be given to leave the air conditioning on. It really does spoil a vacation having to wait for the apartment to get cool.

Location surrounding is crap. I went by navigator with a suitcase from central railway station about 15 min because the roads are not for suitcases, cracked pavement everywhere. It’s better to take a car or tram 1 for 2 stops from railway. It’s really apartment in a crap residential building. 3rd floor (like 4tth) without a lift with narrow stairs with no lighting in the evening. You don’t see where insert 3 keys in locks (3doors to enter). My room faced the noisy busy road. There 2 rooms inside, looks nice, no microwave, but clean. Area looks dangerous in the evening. Owner lady is nice and helpful. She tries to do her best!

the stay was amazing! the host and staff are very helpful and nice people! the location is definitely one of the best things, super convenient. the facilities look and feel recently renovated and the room was clean. the host even shared some food recommendations very close to the hotel and all were amazing! they were also very helpful in booking airport transfer for us and was great service and very cost effective. overall is very good value. i would highly recommend this stay.

This is the most satisfying hotel in Sicily. The location is very downtown, but it is quiet in the middle of noisy. There are several restaurants downstairs. First of all, the room is duplex, the roof is a terrace and a kitchen, the lights are turned on at night, it is really atmospheric, the room layout is also very beautiful, and the facilities are very complete. The landlord sister is also very enthusiastic. The introduction was very careful. The only downside is that the door key is a bit difficult to use.

Service was excellent, we got all we need and asked for(glasses for wine, new sunbed) Location is perfect, directly on the beach and walking path to Trapani... Parking provided and secured, just next to the building. Behind building there is a good bakery, what is also conveniant... Only minor flaw - street noice comming through the window of a bedroom during night and early morning, so we have to close the window...

Great place to stay in Catania. This was perfect for my trip- I was in the final days of a nearly 3 week holiday, and just wanted somewhere comfortable and relatively close to sites to relax. I was there during Christmas and the days after, so having an apartment was perfect. I was able to cook, relax, and everything I wanted to see was a short walk away. I would 100% recommend again.

Very happy with our stay. The host, Domenico is very accommodating as he allowed us to check-in at 11an instead of 2pm. He even personally met us at the door when we arrived.The apartment is very tastefully decorated with all the top notch facilities. Location is also very convenient, only 10 mins walk from Palermo Lolli station. Overall, I would give this place a high 5 stars.

The apartment was as described, and the staff were very helpful. There was a leak in our apartment, but we were moved to a different one the next day. The location was good and close to the beach, although the beach was full of seaweed. Of course, this was out of the owner's control. Possibly, the beach is cleaned before the summer season, we visited in April. Thank you. Anna
