This property is located next to a beautiful, historic seaside promenade next to the center of street activity. Beautifully appointed in a contemporary Italian way, it offers a number of high-level experiences -- including a rooftop patio -- from which they serve a beautiful breakfast overlooking the water, or a late evening drink to watch the moon. Also, the staff saved my vacation by retrieving and forwarding my lost cellphone the very next day. I'd return in a heartbeat.

There wasn't anything not to "like" but parking is dependent on street availability, which wasn't hard to find outside the beachfront entrance. An easy-to-use online app allows you to pay for parking for a whole day (about $16).

A fantastic hotel overlooking the sea. Close to beaches and in the historic district. We were thrilled with the attention to service and the entire staff went out of their way to help us. Room was well air conditioned and perfect. The best secret is the hotel restaurant on the roof. Watching the sunsets every night was amazing and beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. Loved being across the street from the beach. Hotel rented us towels and an umbrella for $2 euro a day - which I thought was a bargain.

It is difficult to find the hotel and I'm not sure we would have found it without one of the staff coming out to get us! It is directly across from the old fish market - so drive and park very briefly at the market. We were actually at the back entrance of the hotel without knowing it. Parking is always an issue in the historic towns and districts and this is no different. Staff was very helpful in this. Download the easy park app and it is about $18 a day on the street.

The buffet breakfast each morning was superb. The terrace lounge in the evening from 6-10pm was also a lovely way and place to unwind from the day. Excellent location in the old town, close to shops and restaurants and the port. Unfortunately we were not able to get a seaview room but our room at the back ended up being very quiet and was a very large size.

One thing Residence La Gancia may wish to reconsider is their policy of only 2 coffee capsules given on the first day. After that you must buy a coffee capsule for 1 euro. The local supermarket sells boxes of 10 for 3 euros. Given their very generous breakfast buffet each day, this seemed at odds with their standards. We are sure there is some logical explanation for this policy.

Excellent location, and extremely comfortable rooms. But what really makes this place special is the staff. They go above and beyond to help with anything they can. From the car from the airport, to arranging a boat, to always having a taxi or dinner reservation, it was perfect. Trapani is a highly special place, and the people who operate this hotel make sure to include you in all that the city has to offer. We hope to be back next year. And don’t miss a drink on the roof at sunset. The lovely young woman who runs the bar is the absolute best.

Front desk staff courteous and helpful. English was stronger for some staff than others. Rooms were unique; bathroom fan was noisy; began to show a little age but pretty, nonetheless. Breakfast was very nice on the fourth floor - hardworking ladies prepared coffee and cappuccino. Juice selection was very good. Cheeses, 3 kinds of cake (including one pie) croissants, scrambled eggs & hardboiled eggs, bacon, toast, yogurts, salami, jams & marmalades, honey, etc. Did not use the air conditioner - my perception was that it was dusty dirty. (Could be wrong - but I didn’t want to try.) Had refrigerator and coffee maker and kitchen serving utensils, coffee packets and some other things we didn’t use.

NO night staff. But had to enter back gate with a hotel key…. Public parking lot about a 5 -10 minute walk away.

The whole experience was brilliant. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The accomodation was excellent with a very comfortable bed great wifi and lovely bathroom. The location was central to all facilities and it was easy for our excursions to Erice, the saltpans tour and the ferry for Favignana. The residence La Gancia had an excellent lift as well as a beautiful marble staircase that led to a top floor terrace for a delightful breakfast served by friendly and attentive staff. Our visit could not have been more perfect. Grazie.

Our favorite stay in our road trip around Sicily was at La Gancia. The hotel was beautiful and in an excellent location. The architecture incorporated the original structure which was so interesting, and the atmosphere they curated was relaxing and a welcoming break from walking and adventuring around Trapani. The food served at breakfast was excellent and the dining area has an amazing view of the ocean. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful, and we loved how close La Gancia is to the beach and heart of the city’s restaurants and shopping areas.

The rooms are spacious with very nice facilities. There are spectacular views from the rooftop breakfast room. Breakfast was great with many options. When we were there in May, there was abundant street parking very close to the hotel, paid with the Easy Park app which is a really nice way to deal with parking all over Sicily. It was straightforward to park next to the hotel for loading and unloading. The location is perfect, with a pleasant swimming beach right next to the hotel and a short walk to restaurants and bars in the center of town.

Everything was great!

Excellent location beside the beach and the main shops and restaurants at night. Nice room including a sitting area and table Handy back exit route to main thoroughfare Nice breakfast area Public car parking close by

The air conditioning unit was very difficult to work. The remote was not intuitive, and the air con kept switching off after a short time. It was too warm to sleep, but if we opened the windows it was too noisy from the traffic on the main thoroughfare outside.

The apartment was very nice and comfortable. It was centrally located for walking to restaurants and sites. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The rooftop was a great spot for the included breakfast!

The complex was tricky to find, and GPS did not work well. We were directed to the address which was Residence La Gancia Plaza Mercato del Pesce but there wasn't a specific address attached to the building. We found the entrance door to Residence La Gancia about 100 feet from the intersection of the Plaza Mercato del Pesce. It wasn't a problem - just a little tricky to find.
