Trapani Hotel with Panoramic Pool over the Gulf of Cornino
Resort Venere di Erice is a 4-star hotel 8 km from Trapani with two swimming pools: an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the Gulf of Cornino, open also to non-guests in day-use, and an indoor heated pool at 30°C all year round, part of the Aqva di Venere Spa. Panoramic sea views, gourmet dining at Rubacuori Restaurant, 5 km from the medieval hilltop town of Erice.
Two Pools Overlooking the Gulf of Cornino
The Resort features two distinct pools, designed for different needs:
- Outdoor panoramic infinity pool — overlooking the Gulf of Cornino (also known as the Gulf of Bonagia), open also to non-guests for a day at the pool near Trapani.
- Heated indoor pool at 30°C — part of the Aqva di Venere Spa wellness journey, open all year round with access included in the Spa package.
You won't find a crowded city centre here: the Resort is in Valderice, 8 km from Trapani and 5 km from the medieval hilltop town of Erice, in a panoramic position that offers silence, clean air and authentic sea views — without the crowds of the seafront promenade.
Panoramic Outdoor Infinity Pool
The outdoor infinity pool at Resort Venere di Erice is designed for daytime relaxation with views over the Gulf of Cornino. On clear days, the horizon reveals the Bonagia coast, the San Vito Lo Capo headland and — in the distance — the outline of the Egadi Islands.
What makes it different:
- Authentic panoramic sea views over the Gulf of Cornino (not "on the sea" — the hotel is not on the beach, but overlooks the bay from above)
- Open also to external guests in day-use mode
- Sun loungers and umbrellas available in sufficient numbers for all guests, with no advance booking required
- Opening hours: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM (seasonal availability — please check with reception for your travel dates)
Heated Indoor Pool at 30°C, All Year Round
The heated indoor pool at 30°C is part of the panoramic wellness journey at the Aqva di Venere Spa. Access is available through the Spa package and includes:
- Views over the bay from inside the pool
- Finnish sauna, hammam, emotional shower with chromotherapy
- Cold mist, tropical shower
- Relaxation area with tea corner and wellness kit
- Open all year round — not a seasonal pool
It is the ideal choice for weekends in January, February or November, when the outdoor pool cannot be used but the desire for warm water with sea views remains.

A 4-Star Hotel near Erice, not in Central Trapani
Resort Venere di Erice is not in central Trapani. If you're looking for a hotel by the port or the train station, this is not the right choice.
The Resort is located at:
- 8 km from Trapani (approximately 15 minutes by car)
- 5 km from the medieval hilltop town of Erice (7 minutes by car)
- 10 km from the Trapani-Erice cable car
- 17 km from Trapani Birgi Airport
- 95 km from Palermo Punta Raisi Airport
This panoramic position is what makes the authentic sea views and the quiet atmosphere of the stay possible. It is not "a Trapani beachfront hotel" — it is a 4-star resort with panoramic sea views from above over the Gulf of Cornino, the stretch of coast between Trapani and San Vito Lo Capo.
