ESTATE 2024:
CERCO SCAMBIO CON CASA AL MARE IN ITALIA nei mesi di luglio e agosto (21-28 luglio e 10-31 agosto). In cambio offro la mia casa in Sicilia (quasi sempre disponibile) e quella di Roma (periodi da concordare).


2 bedroom house with lovely panorama of a green valley, located on the walls of the ancient village of Calatafimi. Perfect hub to explore the beauties of Western Sicily and chill out in peace and harmony of a colourful romantic nest

What you will love about this neighborhood

2 bedroom house with panorama of the green valley, located on the walls of the old village of Calatafimi.
The house is located on the external walls of the historical centre of the lovely and calm village of Calatafimi-Segesta. The house has a pretty view over the green valley below. An extremely quite atmosphere as basically no cars pass by. In Calatafimi, given is few kilometers away from the sea, prices are more convenient and the atmosphere is “real", the villagers are incredibly welcoming and nice. In summer the weather is cooler than on the seaside where instead gets pretty sticky and humid.
The village is located 320 m above the sea level, so its fresh and breezy at night even in August.

The 3 storey house, on the ground floor has a living room with a double sofa-bed, a bathroom with bath&shower, storage room, big fully furnished kitchen (washer, dishwasher, microwave oven etc) with dining area. There are two entry doors. On the first and second floor there are two big double bedrooms. So, it sleeps 4 people comfortably. It is possible to fit 6 people but given there is just one bathroom, better be in 4-5 people maximum.
There is also an outdoor space, on the little green square you can see in the pictures. There you are free to put chairs and a table outside and enjoy dinner there or just chill out.
The story began when a dear friend of ours has bought the house in sicilian countyside. After a visit we were stunned by the views, weather, sea, cultural sites and the food! We had to have a dream house in this magical rural spot with no mass tourism and warm locals!!!

Calatafimi is surrounded by a wonderful and green countryside. Olive trees, orange trees and vineyards are all around making the countryside extremely relaxing and perfect for walks and small trips. The presence of water and the altitude makes Calatafimi very pleasant even during the hot month of August. In the proximity of the village you have the stunning Greek temple and theatre of Segesta; two thermal Spa, open at night as well, the seaside at only 16km (25 mins) by car including Scopello and the famous “Zingaro" natural reserve with crystal clear waters and empty beaches. Trapani, Erice, Selinunte archeological area and Mothya are within 30 mins by car as Calatafimi is located in a strategic location and everyday you will have the chance to visit wonderful places. Also Palermo is one hour drive by the highway, as well as Monreale.

A vacation in Calatafimi is definitely perfect if you are looking for recharging your battery in a calm and idyllic environment. Art, history, nature, seaside and good food are the main asset. If you are looking for nightlife this is not the place for you, even though if you really want, you can reach Palermo and its beach-town Mondello in 1 hour, plenty of movement there!

All the nice places I listed before are within 40 mins drive (check the map). There is some nice fancy restaurants in the area and a lot “popular" ones which all serve wonderful food at decent prices.

In Calatafimi there are two thermal baths (SPA), one organized within a swimming pool and one completely natural and with free access. It's a warm water pool created among rocks, very scenographic.

Additional information
