Choose your Italian accommodations: charming villas with middle-east influence, or located in the countryside, can be your welcomed
Sicilian vacation rental accommodation. Villa rentals with private gardens - or apartment condo rentals - put you into the heart of your Sicilian holiday. Imagine your family reunion in a restored Italian villa rental with a view of the sea.
Many major European cities have direct flights to Trapani, or take a flight from
Rome, Milan, or
Bologna. Should your Sicilian vacation begin in
Palermo, a train ride will bring you to this harbour town within four hours.
Access the medieval town of
Erice with a cable car ride. At 751 meters above sea level. On the
Egadi Islands off of eastern
Sicily, you can see the
Arab-built Pepoli Castle and the
Venus Castle, constructed by the Normans and built upon the site of the ancient Temple of Venus. The more than 60 churches are an architectural showcase.
The diversity of the three Egadi Islands offers a relaxed pace with places to explore: serene coves, and mountain paths. On the smallest island, Levanzo, there are some Paleolithic and Neolithic cave paintings. The butterfly-shaped, Favignana, often referred to as La Farfalla, is the largest island, and lies 10 miles off of the Trapani coast. The azure water of
Cala Rossa bay is a sure winner for your holiday enjoyment.
Beach-front vacation rentals, accommodations with swimming pools, or villa rentals with historical roots are available as your holiday home vacation rental.
Join the locals in a pleasant evening stroll. The Baroque buildings and the churches add their beauty to the picturesque streets of

Processione dei Misteri di, features 20 large wooden-figure groupings depicting the story of Christ’s passion. The
Cattedrale di San Lorenzo is a Baroque-style cathedral. See the exquisite Madonna of the Angels in the Catalan-Gothic-style
Chiesa Di Santa Maria Del Gesu. The
Museo Di Priestoria e Del Mare houses prehistoric and medieval objects found amongst shipwrecks. In a former monastery, the
Museo Nazionale Pepoli showcases local arts and crafts.
Pack a picnic bag in the kitchen of your villa rental accommodation before heading out to visit the natural reserve park, Riserva Naturale Orientata del Lo Zingaro at Scopello. Take along your swimming gear. Snorkel and swim in the Mediterranean Sea, accessible at one of seven carved-into-the-cliffs beaches. Park your car at the entrance of this peaceful sanctuary
. Walk the tree-lined trails, with their palm trees and exotic flowers - all part of the over 700 protected species of plants.
