The house is ideally located just 500 metres from the village of
Partanna Mondello. The sunny holiday atmosphere at Mondello beach is just 2.5 kms from the house though if it's quieter swimming you are fond of then you might enjoy
The Nature Reserve of Capo Gallo which is a stone's throw away. The entrance to the motorway that leads to
Trapani and the Palermo airport is a short 2 kms away and if it's excitement and bustle you're after then a 15-minute pleasant drive through
The Favorita Park gets you to
Palermo which abounds in museums, history and masterpieces. A day trip to
Scopello, the
Riserva dello Zingaro,
Erice,
Saline di Trapani e Paceco or
San Vito lo Capo while in the Trapani neighbourhood are well worth it and if you want to go further afield you might like to catch the hydrofoil from Trapani to the
isole Egadi. Eateries, seafood restaurants, gelateries and coffee shops abound in nearby Mondello and you can also hire a boat here and head to
The marine reserve at Isole delle Femmine or the famous
Grotta dell'Olio. We recommend a walk round the lively seaside town of
Sferracavallo and while you are there, an ice-cream at "La delizia"is a must. Devoting a morning or afternoon to the Reserve at
Barcarello where you can admire the cliffs and views is also advisable. Not far from the house there are many excellent restaurants to choose from, such as
Villa Clelia, Villa Antigone, Le Antiche Mura and Da Franco. For a romantic dinner by candle-light there is
Bye-Bye Blues or Badalamenti Cucina e Bottega too or the
Charleston in Mondello which is famous for its Liberty decor and views of the bay of Mondello.
