The hotel is located in a quiet area with two very good restaurants nearby. 5 minutes driving to the nearest town with lots of nice food places, markets and 5 minutes driving to beautiful Balestrate beach. Room was very clean. Breakfast was simple but always fresh - especially delicious fresh croissants served with very good coffee. Great swimming pool - very clean with shower outside and very comfortable sun loungers. Very friendly staff. 30 minutes driving to Palermo airport and 45 minutes driving to Palermo city. Not a lot of tourists around more local people which makes the whole experience very genuine. Highly recommend!

It was just great right away from our arrival at the property.
The property is very welcoming and well kept, and the family running the place and their stuff are the best people you can hope for during such a stay, and what about the food....it was just wow!!!
Thank you for everything!!

Just wanted to drop a quick review about our stay at Orange Balestrate – it was awesome! First off, Roberto, our host, is a gem. Super kind and went out of his way to make sure our stay was top-notch. He even took us around Balestrate, showing us the best spots and giving us the lowdown on all the cool shops and restaurants nearby.
The room was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed (Kitchen, Bathroom, Living room) There's even a washing machine, so no need to stress about dirty laundry piling up. There is also the sunny balcony which is perfect for drying clothes and just soaking up some rays.
Balestrate itself may be small, but it's got heaps to offer. The locals are friendly as can be, and the whole vibe is just so chill. If you're after a laid-back holiday in Palermo, staying with Roberto at OrangeBalestrate is a no-brainer. Seriously, highly recommend it!
We would definitely visit again 😍😍.

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 !!!
The Owner Anna was honestly the nicest kindest host you could wish for.
The room was large and had everything you need including cooking facilities shower and washing machine which was great!
You can see the sea from the window and the beach is just down the hill. We hired a car and explored the west side of Sicily but the town of Balestrate is great, lovely and traditional with lots of excellent coffee shops and bakeries. The hotel opposite offers spa facilities so had a massage €60 for 50 mins which was not bad compared to uk.
We had a wonderful time in Sicily and would like to give special thanks to the beautiful accommodation in Orange Balestrate as well as to the staff Roberto and Italo, who were always so nice and friendly.
We arrived late in the evening and they prepared dinner for us on a beautiful terrace.
Their friendly approach won our hearts : )
The apartment was fully equipped, clean and smelled beautiful.
Roberto was always helpful with anything we needed.
If we return to Sicily, then it will definitely be to Orange Balestrate.
The apartment is in a very central location in Balestrate and shops, farmacies, restaurants etc are close by and in walking distance. The beach is a little bit further away (about one kilometer) and in particular with small children it is useful to have a car. The apartment itself is very clean and equipped with everything you need. Mino provided us every day with useful tips for excursions and he was very attentive. We really enjoyed out time in Balestrate! Many thanks Mino :-)
It’s a newly refurbished properly, tastily done. Comfortable beds, nice shower. Quiet street yet very close to the main street of Balestrate. Owners super friendly, responsive and happy to help. We were greeted with a nice bottle of wine, water, and there were few other soft drinks in the fridge. Also olive oil from their cousin, which we ordered more at the end. All in all, fantastic place and would love to go back there again someday.
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.
The terrace and the view from it is amazing! The location in Balestrate is very good, the town itself is very pleasant and you can find everything you need in there (supermarkets, shop with fruits and vegetables, cafes, restaurants, playground). No problem parking the car right below the apartment. The beach is really nice. The owner was very friendly, welcoming and responsive, making sure our stay was pleasant.
It was an amazing stay at Lucas and his families place. Everyone is just super friendly and explaining a lot. We even got a tour through the olive groves and got explained how the harvesting is done. The Azienda is outstanding, the landscape around is breathtaking and the hotel itself is just beautiful. We wished we could’ve stayed longer, but for sure we will come back when going to Sicily.
This is one of the best hotel we stayed in Sicily, extremely clean, the Staff and special thanks to Misses Daniela she was beyond everything. The breakfast was perfect and delicious, the swimming pool really nice and the most important 2 minutes from the beach near the hotel and 8 minutes by Car to the main Balestrate beautiful beach. Great experience.
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.
Most relaxing holiday i have had absolutely gorgeous villa pool was lovely, Roberto was very quick to respond, he called every 2 days to clean the pool first thing in the morning, 4 km's from balestrate so you would definitely need a car, Great family holiday in a beautiful location Grazie Roberto we will definetly return
Lovely house with a nice garden and all necessary amenities to make your stay a wondeful one. The kitchen is fully equipped and the jacuzzi brings the relax you need after a busy day out with kids in Sicily
The host, a girl and her mum preparing breakfast were very friendly, the atmosphere was like at home - so cosy and relaxing. All needs were fully satisfied. Thank you for wonderful stay in Balestrate
Everything! It has just been a great experience. The host is amazing and extremely helpful, location is brilliant and we would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Sicily!
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
