the house in the vineyard, a refined country house Reviews

The house is situated in a vineyard with fig trees growing around the house. It is a 25 minute walk up the mountain road to the medieval village of Erice. Trapani is the main town and is about 15 minutes by car down the mountain. The mountain road (SP3) is steep with hairpin bends, so it is best to hire a small car like most of the locals. Anna-Maria who owns the property is delightful and very helpful although she does not speak English. If you rely on SatNav, please note that the SatNav will only direct you to the start of the SP3 road. We got caught out by this and got lost and had to phone Anna-Maria from a hotel. She was great and came and met us. However, once we knew where we were going, the house was easy to find. The house is a small stone built property with a terrace overlooking the vineyard and a hammock as well. The interior has a double bedroom and a sofa bed in the other room which doubles up as a kitchen and dining room. There is a small bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is fairly well stocked. The only thing that we found to be missing was a tin opener. The only criticism that I would make about the furnishing is that the mattress on the double bed is a bit like a camp bed and was not particularly comfortable. There was also a bit of a smell in the bathroom but i think that this is probably inevitable bearing in mind the location of the house. We found that there were some provisions in the fridge which was very helpful nd also some local produce for sale, including local wine which was delicious. As well as being close to Erice and Trapani, the house convenient for other places if you want a day out such as Palermo. We had a very relaxing stay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would certainly stay here again and would recommend it.

Abbiamo soggiornato in inverno, stagione certo penalizzante, e nonostante la splendida posizione, ci sono mancati piccoli confort nella casa che è un po’ troppo spartana. la bellezza del paesaggio e la cortesia dei proprietari hanno lasciato comunque un bel ricordo

Das Haus ist ruhig gelegen und hat eine große Terrasse mit fantastischer Aussicht. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Siamo stati molto bene. Posto consigliato. ☺️

Une petite maison fonctionnelle perchée dans la montagne au milieu des vignes avec une vue incroyable! Possibilité d’acheter le vin et l’huile d’olive maison. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour et de belle soirée loin de la foule!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa casetta immersa nei vigneti per una settimana ed è stata un' esperienza indimenticabile. La casa è dotata di tutti gli utensili necessari per essere indipendenti e la proprietaria è stata molto gentile nell'accoglierci. Grazie Anna Maria!

Silenzio,, panorama e natura

We were one week at this house. It is a perfect place for a lovely holiday. We loved the vieuw and the location. The reception bjj Anna Maria was very sweet. Communication with her is also perfect. With Google Translate you come a long way! :) 5 stars!

zum Urlaub machen und Erholen. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Häuschen im Weinberg. Erice ist beeindruckend! Herzlichen Dank an Anna Maria für ihre Gastfreundschaft!

Es war eine superschöne Woche am Monte Erice, die Lage ist wirklich atemberaubend. Und auch die Anfahrt!! Nachts, vom Essen heimkehrend, sind wir oft „hinten herum“ gefahren, an Erice vorbei… Also: Terrasse und Aussicht in natura noch schöner! Man ist für sich, die kleine Straße hinter dem Haus stört nicht. Wir hatten eine solide und zuverlässige Kommunikation mit Anna Maria. Sie hält eine kleine Auswahl an Getränken und eigenen Produkten im Kühlschrank bereit (Wein, Öl etc). Aber man kann alles zur Seite tun und sich einrichten. Es gibt nicht sooo viel Stauraum, Kleiderschrank ist vorwiegend okkupiert mit Decken, Kissen etc… auch die Küche könnte etwas mehr Raum bieten für das eigene Zeug. Aber es ist alles da, was man braucht und basta! Man kann sich einrichten und das haben wir gemacht. Bett bequem und groß! Badezimmer etwas „nostalgisch“, aber okay und sauber. Und mittlerweile gibt es ein kleines Überdach auf der Terrasse, was sehr angenehm ist. Abends etwas geschützter und auch morgen kann man (später) frühstücken, ohne gleich zu verbrennen… Also - wir bedanken uns nochmal bei Anna Maria für die schöne Zeit! Und empfehlen das Häuschen sehr gerne weiter!! Grazie e a presto 🍀🍀🍀🥂 Ciao Bernd
