Casa Chiara Buseto Palizzolo, Sicily

Holiday Rental Description

If you're looking for a cosy, wholesome getaway in a traditional Sicilian village, this home could be just the ticket. Nestled on the edge of Buseto Palizzolo, a small hillside village, this feels like the home of a Sicilian family. It's warm and inviting, with wood beamed ceilings, homely furniture, and traditional checkered floors. Upstairs, you'll find comfortable bedrooms, with high ceilings and charming decor. But in the outdoor area, you're taken somewhere completely different than a quaint cottage in a village – you have a terrace that offers a breathtaking view of the rolling mountains and vast countryside, as well as a long glistening pool for taking that all-important dips in the summer heat. Surrounded by gardens of palm trees and lush greenery, it's a delightful oasis.

This home is a lovely place for a group of friends or small family to settle into the slower pace of life while exploring the charming surroundings. You're a short walk from local supermarkets and butchers, ideal for picking up a hearty breakfast. The most beautiful place to enjoy breakfast, or any of your meals, is in the open courtyard. The cobbled street, cream houses, and flowered hedges make it an idyllic spot. When you want to get out and explore this beautiful corner of Sicily, you're around a twenty-five-minute drive from the whitewashed city of Trapani. There are plenty of rocky coves and beaches to relax and swim in the sea or simply wander around its narrow streets, soaking in the rich Sicilian culture.
