The bed and breakfast is situated in Valderice, a town in the valley of Erice Mount, which extends for 52 square km down to the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian sea. During the year, the town offers many cultural, artistic and sporting events including:
- “Estate Valdericina”, held in the characteristic amphitheatre “San Barnaba”. Various music concerts are also held in characteristic “Bagli” (farmhouses) and in wonderful villas in the surrounding area.
- The Carnevale float procession
- Hill climbe race of Monte Erice
- Religious events at Christmas and Easter
- Mattanza (traditional red tuna fishing) in the port of Bonagia.
Valderice is an ideal place in which to relax and enjoy the Sicilian sun. Thanks to its warm temperature, it is always pleasant to walk around the centre, or to sit in the main square (Piazza Cristo Re)from where you can admire the unforgettably beautiful views of Erice and the bay of Cornino.
The famous Wolfgang Goethe, during his visit to Sicily wrote:
“To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, only here is the key to it all” |
