Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Wrapped in fruit and olive trees on the north coast of Sicily, this home near Castellammare del Golfo offers peace and tranquillity in abundance. The traditional style can make it appear a little dated, but we think its rustic look only adds to its charm, and you’ll find all you need for a comfortable stay. Outdoors, you’ll find sun-kissed terraces and a private pool to make the most of the Sicilian sun, while the mountainous backdrop provides the perfect view.

The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
