We had one of the front rooms with a balcony. It was probably the cleanest hotel room I've ever seen in Sicily. It could use some updating, but this is how European hotel rooms are. The front room was a bit noisy- around 2 am some young people were being loud outside, but I fell right back asleep. The bed... More

We are an American couple who spent one night at Moderno in late April 2013. If Erice (on top of a mountain about half a mile above Trapani and the sea with spectacular views) is medieval in feel, the Hotel Moderno feels 19th Century, dark but with electricity. Our room was clean, bed comfortable and bathroom facilities satisfactory. We made... More

I mentioned "Sicilian charm" in the title but actually Erice is a country all on its own. 750 metres above sea level, it seems to be floating above the clouds. The people are definitely eccentric, and set apart from the rest of the world! I found Hotel Moderno and its owners to be quirky, and trying their best, but the... More

Run by a family that live on the premises, this is a small and friendly hotel, with a nice restaurant. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the main street (Vittorio Emanuele), but by evening the day-trippers are gone, and it was very quiet. There is a roof-top deck which seems quite lovely, but October at that altitude gets too... More

The town of Erice has an incredible location and layers of history dating back 3,000 years, making it a fascinating place to visit. The views of the coastline are spectacular to say the least. If you are driving, it's best to leave the car at a car park on the edge of town unless you are used to driving through... More

Small family operated hotel with clean rooms and excellent service. Erice is a great place to unwing for a few days. The town is quaint and very clean. Our dining experience there was also remarkable. The food we ate was as good as anywhere in Italy or Sicily. Highly recommend this little hill town for a few days. Commanding views... More

Driving up to Erice is a nightmare if you have a height phobia, but it is a charming little town and well worth the drive. It is also very convenient as a base from which to do day trips to the other points of interest in western Sicily. The hotel is clean but sparse, my major complaint being the breakfast.... More

The perfect finish to our Sicilian holiday was Erice. The Moderno is a small, family-run hotel with a great kitchen. The room we had was spacious and spotless. The owners and their staff were very helpful. We'll be back.

Erice is really worth a visit and turned out to be one of the most interesting old cities I have visited in Italy over the past 10 years. But if you don`t have to,- I wouldn`t stay overnight anywhere. Go up there, take the 2 hour walking tour on your own which is clearly signed. Great views and fantastic photo... More

most rooms noisy from passing revellers until after 2 am. At breakfast, toast was 'impossibile': they hide the fresh fruit, no fresh juice and bad bread. Only take on the proprietress, if you can survive sicilian scorn, on a Fawlty Towers level. Roof is accessible but no amenities or prospect of any service there. Stay at the Elimo Hotel close...
