An oasis in the dry Sicilian countryside.
On an 8 days trip through out Sicily, we rented apartments in the vicinity of Taormina, Castelbuono/Cefalu and in Syracuse but wanted also to experience a typical property in the Sicilian countryside, but within a short driving distance of town (the house is located within 10 minutes driving distance of the outskirt of Trapani and 20 minutes from the historical centre and port). We came along Salvatore’s property which comprises a great blend of old and new, tradition and modernity.
The house has a traditional living room and bedrooms (all air conditioned) with corresponding furniture but a brand new and fully equipped kitchen as well as modern new bathrooms. It is sparkling clean throughout. Also, there are mosquitoes’ screens throughout the house.
The greatest feature is the huge courtyard, if one can call it a courtyard as it is more than 80 meters long from the automatic front gate to the back of the property where the above ground clean swimming pool is located. You will find great vegetation, flowers, and many many trees, olive, lime, fig, apricot, etc. Salvatore, a very nice owner, greeted us with a melon from its own production and figs from the fig tree.
We enjoyed the covered terrace where you can sip your morning coffee, your late limoncello but also your barbecue, all in a very quiet and peaceful surrounding. There is a small butchery in the village as well as a bar where you can get a coffee, a drink, pastries or ice cream but also a Lidl within 10 minutes driving for your barbecue needs.
The property is simply much better than in the pictures on the site. Don’t hesitate to rent Salvatore’s property.
