We loved the location of Manuel's place. It's in a secluded area but within easy reach of some great places. At Manuel's we particularly enjoyed the outside cooking, dining and pool area. We slept well in the bedrooms which are underground but with light wells and ventilation. Castellammare del Golfo is a short drive away and has all the essential facilities and a sandy beach. Highlights within reasonable striking distance included:
- Hiking and swimming at Parco dello Zingaro nature reserve
- Sunbathing and swimming at Tonnara di Scopello
- Dining at Scopello where we found some good restaurants
- Walking the medieval streets of Erice
- Exploring the archaeological site at Segesta
- Visiting the Grotta Mangiapane - our toddler particularly enjoyed the animals - and walking around Monte Cofano with toddler in carrier.
