Romantic atmosphere

Nestled among the gentle hills of the Ericino area, surrounded by ancient olive groves and lush vineyards, stands Agriturismo Don Carlo, a renovated Sicilian manor house that honors its heritage. The view encompasses the plains below, and by hiking or biking along the paths winding through the estate's olive grove, one can gaze upon the Egadi Islands rising on the horizon.

The accommodation features eight rooms equipped with air conditioning, TV, minibar, and private bathroom. Outdoor spaces include a swimming pool with a sunbathing area, an outdoor kitchen, barbecue, and wood-fired oven, as well as a playground designed for children's enjoyment. Each morning, a generous breakfast is served, featuring homemade bread, artisanal jams, yogurt, fresh fruit, and local specialties. In the evenings, with prior reservation, guests can savor traditional Sicilian dishes accompanied by DOP extra virgin olive oil and local wine.

During their stay, guests can engage in authentic experiences, such as guided tastings of olive oil and wine, traditional cooking classes, and tours of the olive grove with views of Erice and the islands. There is also a small Museum of Rural Civilization showcasing tools and historical photographs. The agriturismo is open year-round, closing only in January and February, except for groups with reservations.

Located just 40 minutes from Palermo Airport and well-connected to the motorway network, it serves as an excellent base for exploring the wonders of Western Sicily, including the archaeological sites of Segesta and Selinunte, the historic centers of Erice, Mazara del Vallo, and Marsala, as well as the beaches of San Vito Lo Capo and the salt pans of Mozia. The countryside setting offers tranquility while being only 15 km from the sea and a short distance from the main tourist destinations in the province of Trapani.

Rooms and Rates

Breakfast at Agriturismo Don Carlo is a truly delightful experience, designed to help you start your day with flavor and simplicity. Each morning, it is prepared using fresh and wholesome ingredients, many of which come directly from the farm.

The bread is homemade, warm, and freshly baked, perfect for pairing with artisan jams made from seasonal fruit grown on-site. You'll also find natural yogurt, local cured meats, and cheeses, along with traditional sweets and fresh fruit.

Everything is served in a relaxed atmosphere that reflects the tranquility of the Sicilian countryside, providing guests with a slow awakening filled with authentic flavors.

The restaurant at Agriturismo Don Carlo welcomes guests in a warm and genuine atmosphere, where Sicilian cuisine takes center stage. Each evening, by reservation, a dinner is offered that showcases the local area through dishes made with fresh ingredients, many of which are sourced locally and produced on-site.

The recipes are deeply rooted in local farming traditions: appetizers featuring preserved vegetables and typical cheeses, homemade pasta as first courses, and second courses consisting of local meats, all enhanced by the aroma of DOP extra virgin olive oil and paired with selected wines from the region, including Erice DOC.

Thus, the dinners become a social occasion to explore the authentic flavors of Sicily, allowing guests to enjoy their meals together in a warm and inviting setting, surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside.

Area Campagna

Agriturismo Don Carlo is situated in the heart of the Ericino countryside, a hilly region of western Sicily that captivates with its authentic rural landscapes and strategic location. Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and cultivated fields, the property provides a privileged view of the Trapani countryside and, on clear days, offers breathtaking glimpses of the sea and the Egadi Islands.

Despite the tranquility of the countryside, the location is perfect for exploring the main historical, natural, and cultural treasures of western Sicily. Iconic destinations such as Erice, a medieval village perched with panoramic views of the coast, and Trapani, a gateway to the Egadi Islands and host to significant cultural events, can be reached in just a few minutes. From here, visitors can also easily explore the archaeological park of Segesta, featuring its Doric temple set in lush greenery, the ancient city of Selinunte, the Phoenician island of Mozia, Marsala with its historic wineries, Mazara del Vallo with its charming Arab-Norman center, and the white beaches of San Vito Lo Capo.

The proximity to the highway and the airports in Trapani and Palermo, located at short and medium distances respectively, makes the property easily accessible while preserving the sense of a retreat away from mass tourism. It serves as the perfect starting point for a journey that combines sea, culture, gastronomy, and nature, featuring coastal routes and serene hills.
