The agriturismo is only 5 Km from Trapani, a peninsular city featuring a nineteenth-century town centre situated on the side of the Erice mountain, on top of which is the homonymous medieval hamlet of extraordinary beauty which has an economy still more based on sea rather than agricultural resources. The city is well-known for its coral artefacts. With its temple of Elimi and its theatre, dating back to the V and III century B.C. respectively, Segesta is about 30 Km from Trapani.

For those wishing to take part in excursions, ferries and hydrofoils depart from Trapani's harbour at regular times, linking the city to the continent and to the islands of Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo and Pantelleria.

Following the city's southern coast towards Marsala the salt mines with their mills, some of which are still operating, can be seen, as well as the Natural Reserve of the Stagnone which includes the island of Mothia, a settlement of the Phoenicians. North of the city the coast alternates beaches and cliffs, with the pink foreshore of San Vito Lo Capo, the rocks of Cala ?Mpisu and the stacks at Scopello, and connects the province of Trapani with the province of Palermo.
