West of Sicily Tour

Located at the foot of Palazzo Conte Federico, in the heart of Palermo’s historic centre, Il Giardino di Ballarò is a charming B&B just steps away from the lively market that shares its name.

Set in a beautifully restored historic residence, it combines 18th-century stone arches with 19th-century iron columns, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. Inside, a cosy lounge with a fireplace; outside, a citrus garden and a sunny terrace with jacuzzi invite guests to unwind. The spacious, comfortable rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with all modern amenities.
Hosts Annalisa and Aurora welcome every guest with warmth and authenticity, often sharing the secrets of Sicilian cuisine — the true heart of Palermo’s culture.

An ideal place to explore the city’s historic markets – Ballarò, Vucciria, and Capo – and to experience the vibrant soul of Palermo.

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Menfi, Country House Planeta welcomes guests with an atmosphere of authenticity and warmth – the kind that makes you feel instantly at home.
The Planeta family, a symbol of Sicilian excellence in winemaking for five centuries, shares here their passion for the land, local culture, and heartfelt hospitality.

The ten charming rooms, each named after a local flower, strike a perfect balance between simplicity and comfort. The kitchen celebrates Sicilian flavours with fresh, seasonal ingredients and traditional recipes revisited with care.

Guests also enjoy exclusive access to Insula Beach, the family’s elegant seaside club on the crystal-clear coast of Menfi – perfect for a swim, a lunch by the sea, or a sunset aperitif.

A little gem in the heart of western Sicily, Le Dôme is more than an elegant hotel – it’s a family home, infused with the passion of the Valenti Maltese family, hoteliers for three generations.

With a blend of minimalist design and genuine warmth, it offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The rooftop terrace, featuring a pool and bar, invites relaxation, while the restaurant, led by Chef Giovanni Valenti, serves contemporary Sicilian cuisine crafted from local ingredients and Marsala wines.

Each of the 15 unique rooms combines modern comfort with understated elegance, ensuring a serene and stylish stay. The hotel also embraces a sustainable philosophy, using zero-kilometre produce, eco-friendly linen, and avoiding plastic.

Ideally located in the historic centre of Marsala, Le Dôme is the perfect base to explore the salt pans, the Egadi Islands and Sicily’s beautiful western coast.
