Aieri

Property Description

Nestled in the countryside, near Trapani, Aieri is a hideaway with beautiful mountain views and yet only 7 kms from the sandy beaches of Cornino or, a little further, Scopello. Conveniently located on the western coast of Sicily, near the major tourist spots of Erice, Segesta, the picturesque Salt Pans of Marsala, Mozia, Castellamare del Golfo and San Vito Lo Capo - all about a 20-minute drive. This recently renovated semi-attached property, which has been in the family since the 1800s, cleverly combines traditional elegance and modern luxury with the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Location Information

Nearest Airport: Palermo 50; Trapani Nearest serviced town: 1 km Nearest major city: Marsala 25 min Nearest beach: 18 minutes Driving time estimated by Google Maps The island of Sicily offers a number of wonderful places to visit on day-trips or excursions. In the northern area, you might want to include cities such as Palermo, Monreale, Cefalù, Castelbuono, Erice, Segesta, Marsala, and Trapani on your must-see. The eastern coast of the island is also worth exploring, starting from the famous cities of Taormina, Catania, Syracuse, Noto, and Ragusa and the utterly unforgettable volcanic peak of Mt. Etna. The extraordinary city of Palermo is the capital of Sicily, so beautiful that Maupassant described it as “the most beautiful religious jewelry dreamed by human thought”. Visit the richly decorated churches, the imposing monuments, and lose yourself in the little streets of the historical center. Explore the archeological site of Segesta, once one of the most important fortified cities on the north Sicilian basin. Do not pass on Erice, the ancient medieval village rich in history and charm. If you venture up to Marsala, drive along the Salt Route and enjoy the burning sunset reflected on the lagoon of the salt mines. You will never forget it! And take note that Marsala, known as the “city of wine”, has been producing a sweet dessert wine of the same name for more than 200 years. Do not leave the island without at least a bottle of this liquid gold! WHERE TO EAT Trattoria Altri Tempi - Local dishes, old-style.
