I wish we had planned to stay for a week
Paola and her husband have created a jewel of a place. The location is a 16th century farmhouse on a hill top with views forever. The interior with ancient stone walls has been sympathetically remodeled with simplicity's, good taste and comfort. Spotless, great internet, new appliances, lovely indoor space and outdoor shaded area, beautiful landscaped garden ( her husband is a landscape designer) . The garden boasts a water feature bar-b-a and a treehouse in an ancient carob tree. The cactus gardens are superb. Our regret was staying 3 nights not longer. There is plenty to do in the area to stay a week. Erice and Trapani are 20 min away. Segesta about 45min. The salt museum 30 min away is a must. Mosia Island and Marsala would be good easy day trips. The house is on a dead end so very quiet surrounded by olive trees, grape vines and flowers. Ask to try and buy their home made organic wine, olive oil and honey. A family that "walk the talk" in terms of ecology and green living. On site parking and easy access to the whole western Sicily.
