Serviced Apartments in Erice

What could be more picturesque than a serviced residence or holiday letting in this beautiful, Sicilian mountaintop town overlooking lush countryside and the sprawling city of Trapani below.

The town boasts two castles, both within easy reach of your Erice holiday apartment or aparthotel. Pepoli Castle was built in Saracen times and the Norman Castle of Venus, built on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to the Goddess Venus, is now a top class hotel. In the town you will also find parts of the ancient fortification walls and some delightful winding passageways that lead you past rustic dwellings and into pretty little squares.
 
In the centre of the town you will find the museo Civico Antonio Cordice where you can view some incredible artefacts discovered during the excavations of the town’s necropolis including one amazing find, a sculpted stone head of the Goddess Venus which is believed to date back to around the 4th century. Well worth a browse.

In this lovely town it would certainly be easy to start piling on the pounds with all the mouth-watering pastry shops in the vicinity but one that you really must try is ‘La Pasticceria di Maria Grammatico’. This superb cake shop stays open all hours churning out hot, fresh cakes that are just waiting to satisfy your cravings, wonderful cannoli, ricotta stuffed doughnuts, almond parfait and the most exquisite handmade marzipan fruits. Enjoy breakfast here on the terrace, a great way to start the day and a good opportunity to pick up a selection of sweet treats for your picnic basket.

If you have a penchant for antiques there is a lovely antique store within walking distance of your Erice serviced apartment or holiday let called Amico Petro. Here you can just spend half an hour browsing or pick up some quite reasonably priced little pieces as the perfect memento of your vacation in Erice.
