Charming Sicily
Historic homes, comfort and good taste, excellent cuisine and Sicilian wines, interesting villages and cities of art, culture and history.
The western region of Sicily is still fairly unknown, but definitely worth a visit. On this 8-day trip you will discover the distinctive nature and culture of Western Sicily and be surprised by the beauty of the area, which is not yet affected by mass tourism.
On this trip you will be amazed by the special welcome in the region. Three stages are planned, to make the most of your time, since the distances on this side of the island are relatively short. You will experience the extraordinary atmosphere of the city of Palermo, the unknown interior of Agrigento and the unexpected beauty of the province of Trapani.
2 nights - The first stopover is planned in a B&B accommodation in the historical centre of Palermo, just behind the charming street market of Capo. A few steps from here you will find all the main and most interesting attractions of the city.
From here you can also visit:
2 nights - After an initial impression of a big city like Palermo, we will take you to the second stay of your journey in the heart of the historical center of Agrigento, in a nice B&B, le Terrazze di Montelusa, accurately renovated and belonging to the family owner since 1822. You will be welcomed by the charme of Francesco, and if you're lucky, by a sonata of his piano! Just a few steps away you can reach medieval and baroque churches, the prestigious Theatre 'Luigi Pirandello' and the Via Atenea, always been a place of shopping and strolling; the famous Valley of the Temples and the golden sandy beaches are located just a few kilometers from here.
Various activities/excursions are available here, either on your own or through the local "Val di Kam" organization, including:
3 nights - The last three nights of this special trip will be spent in the picturesque scenery of the Stagnone Natural Reserve in Marsala, in a eighteenth century “baglio”, a typical rural building that belonged to a noble Sicilian family. The property has been recently restored and is furnished with taste and attention to detail. Here you can enjoy a great homemade cuisine that will help to make your stay unique: homemade recipes, simple and refined at the same time, will make you enjoy the rich flavors of the Sicilian tradition.
This area is rich in natural wonders and beautiful places like:
Not everyone is aware that Sicily is a large island, certainly not comparable to the smaller islands of the Mediterranean, both in terms of its size and especially due to its variety of cultural and natural attractions. It is therefore recommended that you spend 8 days of the holiday visiting just one part of the island.
