Fodor's Expert Review La Gancia

Although detached from the town's hubbub, this residence is actually in a central location on Trapani's northern waterfront, with wonderful coastal views. The "studio" rooms are sleek and spacious and come with kitchenettes, and there's a garden, gym, and reading room. Best of all, generous breakfasts are served on a terrific roof terrace with panoramic views over town and the coast. The residence lies at one end of Via Torrearsa, so perfectly sited to participate in Trapani's boisterous evening passeggiata. There is secure parking 2 km (1 mile) away, linked to the residence by a free shuttle bus, or you can find your own parking space closer.
