The host/owner of Hotel Elimo was truly exceptional. He went way above and beyond any expectations one might have. He cared about every detail of our stay. When we arrived, I was very anxious about our rental car (our first time using a hybrid car) and so he stopped everything to walk over with me to where we parked the car and showed me how everything worked. The view from the dining room overlooks the wide expanse of the mountain top and sea below. The charming courtyard and roof top terrace provide lovely place to enjoy all the charms of Erice. We stayed at the hotel for seven days and would have loved to stay even longer.

Very nice host, helpful and proud of the city without being intrusive. We had a nice balcony looking over the pedestrain alley. The restaurant is on an enclosed balcony with a great view. Breakfast was a spread of pastries, corn flakes, cold cuts/cheese. Better than our others. Conveniently located if you want to duck back during the day to use the bathroom. Bathroom with elegant tub, but no overhead water. The fridge was in cabinet, so it didn't make noise, which we appreciate. There was some street noise, but not much. (We were there a bit out of season though.)

This is in the walking-only part of town, so you will need to get your suitcases over 2 blocks of cobblestones. If you are going from place to place, consider packing a smaller bag and leaving some things in the car. There was a smell of sewage in the hall on the way to our room -- likely a temporary problem, but it was there both days of our visit. The bathroom had no overhead shower, just a hand held shower head in a (lovely) tub.

Been in Sicily 11 days and this is by far our favorite location. Antonio from the hotel was a one man show with knowledge not only of the hotel but of the local surroundings. He was almost always available to answer questions and provide recommendations, and reservations elsewhere if needed. He helped us with parking by physically meeting, taking us to hotel and parking our car. The sitting area was very cozy with a fireplace and comfortable chairs where you could rest and have a drink after walking the hills of Erice. Food at breakfast was plentiful and dinner was awesome. This place and this town is magical!

only staying longer could have made our visit better! everything was perfect.

The Elimo is in an excellent location in the beautiful village of Erice. It enjoys an incredible view from its dining room where we had a delicious dinner and a sumptuous breakfast. The staff is extremely accommodating and had great recommendations about the area. The hotel could use some updating but we appreciated its authenticity.

There were a few areas that would have been a nice place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine but they appeared dirty and uncared for.

The location is perfect, close a parking space. The restaurant offers a nice view and the food is great. The owner is very nice as well and offers advice on the diferent options on the menu.

The room was ok, but bathroom and the shower are tiny. The cleaning has a potential to improve as well as the attentiveness and general appearance of the servers at breakfast.

The Hotel Elimo is an absolute gem in an enchanting mountain village. The manager Antonio is so very helpful in every way, from recommending car routes to even sorting out a mechanic at short notice to deal with a flat tyre on our hire-car. The hotel itself is a delightfully eccentric little place, full of eclectic art and interesting areas to sit (the library of varied books and comfortable chairs, the lovely garden room, the dining-room with its stunning view). The rooms are comfortable and quiet. It's a few minutes' walk up a hill from the Erice car-park, and right next to the characterful centre of Erice, where we loved just strolling. The food is excellent and uses local ingredients, and there are friendly staff to bring you drinks and coffee at any stage.

Nice hotel with a wonderfull view over the lowlands from the restaurant and where you also have breakfast in the morning. Very close from the entrance of the city so you can walk with the luggage about 100m . Tourist cars are not allowed in the town. Room was nice . All was very good for the price paid

Great hotel and restaurant. Upgraded to bigger room. Very spacious and comfortable. Dinner was delicious, one of our best in Sicily. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Antonio meet us at the town parking lot and drove us to the entrance of the hotel and then parked our car. He shared with us the history and highlights of Erice and gave good wine recommendations for dinner. Highly recommend this Hotel.

Dinner was amazing and the staff was kind and very helpful. The pasta dish was the best I've ever had!

The smell of the cleaning solution or oil they use in the room was very overpowering. So much so that I had a headache the entire time in the room. There was alo an alarm that kept going off right near our room outside. Kept me up most of the night.

A lovely family-run hotel with comfortable and characterful reception area and bedrooms (about 20-25 rooms - nice art deco details in my bedroom), and a pretty courtyard. We particularly appreciated that the receptionist had stayed past midnight to check us in when our flight was delayed. Antonio was exceptionally helpful when Sicily By Car's phones weren't responding on our last day - he called a garage to come out to assist and we got to the airport in time. We didn't hesitate about asking him for help as they had been so friendly and helpful earlier in our stay. The breakfast was of good quality, with high-protein options for the diabetic in our party, and the views from the restaurant/breakfast room were fantastic when the cloud cleared each morning at about 9 a.m.. We ate a couple of times in the restaurant and those were some of the best meals we had in Erice, where it is difficult to avoid so-so tourist food. The hotel is probably the closest one to the main Erice car parks (though it is up a hill). I loved the country walk up from the free lower car park (to find this path, go 50-100m further down the road to the red and white sign on the left - avoid high heels as the path is slightly rougher towards the end).

In the early evening there was quite a bit of noise from the street and sometimes music from a neighbouring house in my bedroom. Bedrooms 101-4 or 201-4 would be quieter. However, it was all quiet from 11pm onward on the five nights we stayed there.
