The Spezie apartment is a carefully restored and nicely decorated unit in a historic farmhouse (the Salinara ensemble) not far from the saltpans and the characteristic windmill(s) of the Saline Ettore e Infersa. It is orientated to the garden side and has a nice outside area (small terrace) where we enjoyed having our breakfast in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings. While we were there a big arch of jasmine was in bloom and released a pleasant scent. The place was quiet and had a comfy bed; an ideal retreat. Shan, the housekeeper, was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. There are plenty of things to do. On one of the days we rented two bikes and explored the shoreline, on another day we visited Erice. All in all, a wonderful place from where to explore the Sicilian west coast.
