A few kilometers from Trapani, located in the upper part of western Sicily, resides a golden treasure of an ancient "baglio", a country residence of the Curatolo family since the eighteenth century.
The original barns, stalls and warehouses have been salvaged to become distinct guest lodgings, with country forniture; they overlook olive groves, citrus trees and century old pine trees.
The farmstead is about 5 km from trapani, a peninsular city which stands on the slopes of Monte S. Giuliano where, at the top, is Erice a medieval village of an extraordinary beauty. The Trapanese economy has always been grownded on searesources more than on land ones: our coral manufacturing is renowned.
Ferryboats and hydrofoils link up Trapani with the dry-land and with the isles of Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo and Pantelleria. Segesta with its temple and its theatre, which date back, respectively, to the V (ex) and III in century b.C., is about 30 km from Trapani.
Strolling or cycling around the premises you will encounter the true family of "baglio" not only the family dogs and cats, but also the friendly geese, turkeys and peacocks.
Guests will be able to take full advantage of the available recreational sports such as football, volleyball and out door bowling and for the youngest their very own play area.
In the working farm they grow their own vegetables, citrus fruits and olives, which are then used to produce their classical tomato puree, fruit and vegetables preserves and oil, moreover they cook some typical dish using Sicilian traditional methods handed down the family.
