Hotel Carmine  

Hotel Carmine is a luxury hotel. The public spaces are large and very beautiful, the rooms spacious and very comfortable, the included breakfast almost too good to be true (a large banquet table laden with large selections of fruits, pastries, cheeses, meats, etc etc). It was my 60th birthday also our wedding anniversary, and as a courtesy the front desk sent a couple of glasses of good Marsala wine to our room soon after arrival, and later in the evening sent two small bottles of Prosecco to our room. They also put us in a room with an almost private balcony (we had no one staying next to us, so it was private for our night there). The location is good, the neighborhood is very nice and quiet, and there are restaurants within a few minutes walk. The one we liked was Trattoria Garibaldi in the piazza near the Garibaldi Gate, about 5 minute walk from the hotel. In the morning we left to go to Trapani, so we had the front desk call a taxi to take us to the train station with plenty of time to spare, or so we thought. Forty five minutes later the taxi still hadn't come despite the front desk calling again, and we missed our train. The woman at the front desk finally got us a taxi, and helped us with getting a somewhat reduced fare from Marsala to Trapani. Our final destination was Erice, so about halfway to Trapani our cab driver made us an offer we couldn't refuse to take us all the way to Erice (60 Euro), not cheap, but in the end well worth it. Our host in Erice told us it was a very good deal, so we felt as if we were not led astray by the front desk at Hotel Carmine. However, in retrospect, if you don't want the same thing to happen to you, make arrangements for a taxi the night before you are planning to need it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

A lovely hotel, with a garden to sit in. Gorgeous breakfast. Very central

The glass floor- with a gap of about 15 cm above the tiles. Pretty but strange to walk on!

Hotel Carmine is beautifully appointed. We had a suite so quite luxurious with modern furnishing mixing in with lovely antiques. Very chic. We used the spacious and gorgeous lounge (couldn't get WIFI in the rooms) as well as wonderful garden enlcosed in a courtyard.Staff were helpful and friendly. Overall location is superb.Hope to return some day.

Very friendly and helpful staff; beautiful building; comfortable room; good breakfast.

Better details about how to reach the hotel by car would be appreciated. The one way system and pedestrian only access area of Marsala are very sensible but confusing when you don't know the city.

This is a fantastic hotel! The premises have been recently renovated and are immaculate, and so are the rooms. The personnel is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is a feast. You basically get an excellent 4-star service for a very good price. This is not a three star. The view from the balcony was amazing. Great place to stay in Marsala!

The hotel is well situated to look around Masala and is set in an old nunnery which has been interestingly modernised while keeping the old features (our bedroom had a domed ceiling). Breakfast was good with a lavish selection of cakes. Keeping our room on for a couple of hours extra caused no problems.

I thought the lighting in the bathroom was very bad, also the view from the window was terrible, although better than the first room we were offered tha had no window at all ! Altogether a lovely building that has been badly renovated, overrated in our view.

The hotel has been very tastefully renevated. Breakfast was served on the terrace, delightful.

The hotel is very nice. Breakfast was excellent and served in the garden.

We had our car window broken during the night. The lady at the reception was anyway very helpful.

Very nice and elegant hotel with rich breakfast served in a beautiful garden.

Only one bad thing was that our double bed was made of single ones put together and our little child slept uncomfortable do to the space between the mattresses.

Lovely breakfast setting and very helpful staff.

Hotel has an interesting architecture, is nice to see it.

In hotel they provide all services which are normally more expensive than you provide them yourself (taxi, trips). We had early flught at home, we ask for a coffe in a hotel, unfortunately, there wasnt prepare anything for us, even the staff aslept, so we almost lost our taxi.

Perfect location. Large rooms. Lovely.
