Under the hill of Erice, which came and went from the cloud, we had a good location to explore Trapani, the salt pans, Massala, and walk in the Zingaro. Segesta on our way was superb. A very comfortable stay in a secure courtyard, ideal for a couple with a car, very tastefully decorated, we were delighted to be close to but not in a town.
The drive up to Erice is 15 mins and easy parking by the Trapani gate if you are early enough. You will need to prepare your breakfast things the day before as the closest Panificio is in Valderice, 10 mins away.
