Erice vacation rentals

We’re in our fifties and have traveled pretty extensively. This was by far our favorite vacation home of them all. I kept waiting to wake up as if from a dream. Picture this: You wake up to a brilliant sunrise over the sea and mountains, go for a morning dip in the pool, hike up to the ridge or explore a grotto where you can lie beneath 5,000 year old pictograms, then back in the pool before lunch and an afternoon siesta. In the afternoon, you drive to Zingaro Nature Reserve to trek to one of its secret beaches and enjoy a gelato from the vendor on your way out. In the evening, you head the other direction to watch the sun set over the Marsala Salt Flats before catching a bite in Trapani at night. No matter where you venture, though, you can’t wait to return to Villa Lomellini. The views are breathtaking, the landscaping is divine, and dining al fresco or just sitting in the porch swing while enjoying both is something else. We really can’t say enough about it. Miriam was such an attentive host, even from afar, and was always quick to respond if we needed her or wanted another recommendation. We will do everything in our power to try to return.

This place is beautiful- easily the most beautiful house I have ever stayed in. Everything you need, so spacious, historical, rustic, and chic. Bathrooms are very nice. So picturesque. Lovely hosts helped with recommendations and were very responsive communicators.

we stayed at this house for 7 nights in mid October and we had 5 people - one couple, another adult and two kids.  Firstly, it is much bigger and nicer than I expected.  the garden is well maintained and absolutely a good feel.  it also had a view that I didn't expect, which was also a nice bonus (although the view is slightly obstructed by an unfinished building).   Joseph was an amazing host.  he was so attentive to every detail.  from the beginning he was extremely responsive to any questions.  upon arrival the house was spotless and he even had drinks and snacks for us for the the week, including the kids.   the pool is amazing and Jospeh came every couple of days to clean it and the whole pool area.  At most of the other houses where we stayed in during our trip we were responsible for cleaning the pool. General note. Pools are normally never heated in Sicily. whenever he came to clean the pool, he also brought some lovely breakfast pastries for us. in general the house has 2 large bedrooms with double beds and lots of storage space.  each room also has a small tv.  there is a large lounge / dining area where another single bed or I think also a double can be placed.  this is the common room and also has a TV and door to the porch where there is a view.  there is also a kitchen with a table and access to the outdoor patio that also has a table and is surrounded by the beautiful garden.  there is a large bathroom and also laundry facility.   There is no internet as others have mentioned. It is not a major and you can get a card at Vodafone in Trapani. We had a few issues/wait to do so, but in general is a good option. Even w an Italian number, you can still use WhatsApp and other apps with your standard mobile number the house is in a good location to reach various points of interest - Erice, Trapani, Marsala, San Vito, Lo Zingaro and other great beaches.   The town has some good places to eat within 5 minutes drive, a few grocery stores, bakeries and a great gelato shop. I would happily stay there again if we had the right number of people to make it work.  Joseph was the best type of host and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was more than enjoyable.
