Prime location, centrally located near everything: bakeries, fruit & vegetable markets, fish markets, pizzeria, etc. We were here for a week and could live like locals, thanks to Gabriella for the room upgrade gift. The kitchen had everything you need. Laid back and relaxing. Beautiful view of the church on one end and the ocean on the other from the balcony. Grazie mille Gabriella for everything, including arranging a ride for us to Castellamare. You are the best host - so kind and accommodating. You helped make us feel at home. We definitely would stay here again!

the best feature was the kindness - courteous attitude of the host. He was present continually to help or advise in in whatever need.
The room was always kept clean and the bed most comfortable ….I felt as if I was staying with my relatives.

Friendly, hospitable hostess; obliging and very helpful. The location was very convenient with good beaches 10 min drive away. Comfortable apt, all conveniences provided. The outside private patio was a bonus. A 'local' feel to Balestrate and a refreshing break from the busy Palermo swarming with tourists. Great local restaurants. Highly recommended.

Balestrate is a lively small Sicilian town 30 drive from Palermo airport (Pmo). It is a good starting point for exploring Palermo and west parts of Sicily. The beach seemed a bit abundant but we were there out of tourist season. Rental car is essential as there is so much to explore, from beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters to traditional Sicilian villages and hiking opportunities.

Nice, rather calm town.
Nice, rather calm town. Typical colorful houses, narrow streets, swuare with historic church. They have at least few restaurants with typical, fine cuisine (try disiu pizza - perfect pizza; siculish - artisanal sicilian cuisine; cia vuru ri tradizioni - suprising restaurant with great atmosphere, food and interior). Beach is broad and accessible for swimmimg, a bit not clean (some plastic bottles, etc.), but maybe during the peak season they clean it better (I hope). We had great time, proces are affordable (cafe/restaurant). You may easily reach the town from Punta Raisi by public transport or use private transfer (public transport for 4 person is ca. €30 / private transport €35 booked in Balestrate Jumbo car rental).

Small quiet town.
Small quiet town. Between Palermo and Trapani. 30 minutes car drive to Palermo airport. Good for making trips to Erice, Palermo, Segesta, Monreale. Trafić was not bad at all. Instead of going by car you can take a bus.

Balestrate its nice small town.
Balestrate its nice small town. There is plenty of shops, pubs,bars and restaurants. There are nice small bakeries which amazing Sicillan bread straight from the oven. You will have choice of lovely Sicilian food to try like sweet pastry, sandwiches, pasta and sea food.
If you thinking of visiting other parts of Sicily you will need to rent a car as there isn't much of public transport, only a train but not very reliable.
There are few beaches in Balestrate.
There is also night life in Balestrate with live music and also disco on fresh air for younger population on Friday night.
There are boats to hire in Port of Balestrate.
People are very friendly and helpful with not many tourists from abroad.

The town is just beautiful, we were there at a quiet time of year in March and whilst quiet during the day it comes alive at night! The restaurants are fantastic and the people are super friendly and accommodating! It has everything you need with you having to leave if you so wish! We travelled to all the towns in the vicinity and Balestrate is definitely the most beautiful!

Perfect vacation spot to get away from the hustle and bustle...
Perfect vacation spot to get away from the hustle and bustle .Ideally located for visiting the North coast . Great size town , not too big , not too small. You'll find food to go or mini markets nearby.And a few restaurants etc,, Or else drive 5 km to Alcamo for bigger supermarkets. Great home away from home . Hate to leave . Will be back !!!
Pretty good central location (if you are ok with loud street in the evening :-), close to shops and restaurants, nice and friendly staff ready to help, access to washing machine on the top floor and terrace. but it would be much better if owner would care to ensure cleaning black mould in the bathroom and fixing not working air conditioning. If you will be lucky to get appartment in normal condition - clean enough and working air conditioning - it is pretty ok. walking distance to the beach - not Balestrate beach mention on Booking.com.
Amazing host, he is available 24/7 with anything you might
need help with. We even got some good restaurant tips
and help with parking in Palermo for our onward journey.
The hotel is in a perfect location close to beach and
evening pedestrian zone with restaurants. The rooms
are beautiful and well done, very clean. The bed is the
most comfortable one we had in years of travelling.
Also there is a shared kitchen which is really pretty
where you can store your stuff in the fridge and every
day cold water bottles are there for free.
Apartment was perfect for our family needs. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped & in walking distance from the beach & many shops & restaurants. The air conditioning was great and beds were very comfortable. The host was second to none He could not do enough for us. The neighbours in the area are very friendly and there is a great sense of community. If you are going to spend more than a few days here car hire is worthwhile & we got great value with Stella rental in balestrate
The welcome and kindness of Antonio, a gentle and kind man who always tries to help and look after you. The apartment..neat, airy, right in the heart of Balestrate. The balcony overlooking the main street so you can watch the passagiato and the daily life of this lovely town
All the welcoming warm people we spend time with in Balestrate.
The proximity to a beautiful bakery, a fabulous fresh fruit shop and a supermarket.
Lovely place in Balestrate! Spacious and comfortable apartament with stylish furniture and some pieces of local artists. Le Luminarie is an amazing place, it's just nice to come back there after discovering the area! The host Nino is caring and super organized-he helped us with transport and gave lots of advices on what to do in Balestrate. Perfect place, we would be happy to come back! Grazie mille:) Maja&Joanna
Thank you Antonio! he Picked us up in Palermo and drove us through the mountains to Balestrate. the Apartment was very clean and Bit enough! the kitchen Is well equipped so you can cool small things. the Apartment was in the middle of Balestrate, Apx. 15 min to the Beach. Better Rent a Car (at Jumbos or Stellas, so much cheaper than at the Airport!) you will Need it if you plan to visit the area.
The apartment was located in a quiet area of Balestrate, only some not significant noise was made by the trains passing 4-5 times a day. The trainstation is aprox 100meters from the house if you want to travel to Palermo, Trapani or next small villages. The beach was aprox 5 min by walk and was not over crowded. The apartment itself was comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well equipped.
Friendly, hospitable hostess; obliging and very helpful. The location was very convenient with good beaches 10 min drive away. Comfortable apt, all conveniences provided. The outside private patio was a bonus. A 'local' feel to Balestrate and a refreshing break from the busy Palermo swarming with tourists. Great local restaurants. Highly recommended.
The staff were all lovely and made sure that we had and understood everything we needed. The location is right in the middle of Balestrate, so it was very easy to get around. The recommendations from all staff, including the local taxi (Milton) and all their food recommendations were perfect. The spa experience was truly lovely.
Very nice stay for few days. Excellent service and great food. View from balcony was on mountains. The hotel is only few kilometers from the very good Balestrate Beach. This is the good place to visit nearest attractions as Trapani, Monreale, Erice and San Vito Lo Capo. Best wishes for Chiara, Luca and rest of the team :)
One of the best locations in Sicily, great pool with beautiful sea view, very quite area and new furnished bungalow, lovely and helpful staff, free parking. Balestrate is also a nice town with good restaurants.
Only 4min with the car to the beach or city center.
Close to nice public sandy beach (10 min walk), close to Balestrate main street, sufficient equipment for longer stay. Also the street where the appartment is is relatively quiet, so no problem with parking of our rental car.
A very nice and clean apartment with sea view and everything you need. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Balestrate. The host is extremely sympathetic and helpful. 100% recommendable! Thank you very much!
The owner Giuseppe is an excellent person he makes sure that breakfast is ready when you get up in the morning,I would raccoment casa Ruffino if you come to Balestrate
Guisepi went out of his way to help me on my quest to find relatives in Balestrate. He drove me all over town talking to people trying to help me find them.
