The Sicily region

Sicily (in Italian: Sicilia) is an autonomous region of Italy as well as the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
It has its own unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, cuisine, architecture and language.

Over 2,500 years at a strategic crossroads of the western world have left Sicily with an unparalleled historical legacy. Nowhere else have Phoenecians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, French, Germans, Spanish, Italians and even British left such an indelible impression.

Whether you are more attracted by Greek temples, Roman villas and aqueducts, Norman cathedrals or Baroque churches, Sicily offers a range of historical sites that is not easily matched.

Sicily has the highest average hours of sunshine in Europe: 2000 hours per year. The Sicilian climate is typical of the Mediterranean. Winter is mild, fall and spring are pleasantly warm and summer is hot. On the coastal belt, the average annual temperature is around 19 °C (66.2 °F).

The island is a variegated world of landscapes and colours: from the Etna’s top covered with snow to the warm and wild coast of the Zingaro nature reserve, from the parched mountains of the hinterland to the verdant Madonie, from the Greek temples of Agrigento and Segesta to the windmills and salt pans of Trapani.

The Trapani / Erice area

See a video of Erice :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIL4rSUGLiY

ERICE is located on top of Mount Erice, at around 750m above sea level, providing spectacular views of Trapani, the Aegadian Islands and the western coast of Sicily (from Marsala to San Vito Lo Capo).

The temperature is always cool, even on hot summer days.

Although the town is small in size, between the 12th and 17th Centuries more that 60 churches were built in and around Erice. There are many of these churches still standing in the town, some now converted to other uses.

The cathedral, constructed in the 14th Century, has a magnificent front portal and a separate Gothic style bell tower which stands a few metres from the entrance. This building also doubles as a concert hall for the town's annual traditional popular music festival.

Other annual festivals and events include the special religious procession at Easter, and the Festival of Medieval and Renaissance Music in August.

The city of TRAPANI and SURROUNDINGS: places to visit:
The main town, Trapani, occupies a low-lying promontory with a curving harbour which, combined with its position at Sicily's western tip, makes the town a good base for exploring this part of Sicily or a useful stopover on a touring holiday.

This province also offers numerous natural and historic attractions of great beauty and interest: the broad sandy beach of San Vito Lo Capo, rugged cliffs, lagoons, salt-pans, several nature reserves (Zingaro, Stagnone and Mount Cofano, the Egadi Islands), well preserved Greek temple and amphitheatre of Segesta, the archaeological site of Selinunte, the wine county of Marsala.

LOCAL CUISINE:
The territory of Trapani province is dominated by vast expanses of vineyards and olive groves. Indeed, some of Sicily’s best wines (Marsala and Nero D’Avola among others) and olive oils are produced in this part of the island.

Fish dishes and seafood reign supreme; north African influences can be found in local speciality of fish couscous. Pastries and ice creams are famous for their richness, but among the treats are cannoli, a tube-shaped shell of fried pastry dough filled with ricotta cheese, chocolate or candied fruit.

“If you REALLY want to get away from it all” ( A. Baglio from USA, 27 set 2010 )

This place was, hands down, the most fantastic place I've ever stayed while on vacation. I was there for 3 nights with my husband and our two friends. We went out and explored the busy city of Trapani and the surrounding areas of Marsala, the salt fields, the Egadi Islands, etc, and at night we cooked huge seafood dinners in our little paradise of Santa Teresa.
Erice is a gorgeous city tucked way up on a mountain. The only down side to staying here, is the bus service is non existent, so if you plan on getting off the mountain, you will have to either take the funivia (cable car) which is super easy to do, or rent a car. I would NOT recommend renting a car or any vehicle for that matter when you are here. The streets are tiny and the vespas are CRAZY.
Sergio helped us check in; his family owns the Santa Teresa. He was so great. He made sure we had everything we needed. I must have e-mailed him 20 times asking him a million questions before we actually met. He was so helpful and nice. He visited us halfway through our stay and we ended up talking into the wee hours of the morning.
This place is just amazing I just can't say enough. It is perfect for those who love an adventure!

“An Experience: Santa Teresa, Erice” ( J. Nicolav from UK, 12 lug 2010 )

A late evening flight, an arrival into Trapani past 11.30 pm and a half hour drive to Erice, I did not expect Sergio (the owner) to be there but was quite surprised when I received a text saying that he would be there to give us the keys and show us around the apartment, however late it was. The Santa Teresa experience started.

Being tired and sleepy after a three hour flight, the beauty of the apartment hadn’t hit us yet. It was only the next morning that we were struck by its abundance of character, charm and coziness. The apartment is a conversion of a blacksmith’s studio and the past profession is clearly and artistically represented in the apartment. The apartment has been tastefully restored to accommodate the comforts of modern day, holiday living. Nothing in excess or nothing in short, everything you need in a holiday apartment is there.

The high ceilings, the exposed stone walls, the little stone niches, the traditional brass taps and accessories made the entire house very appealing. The bedrooms were comfortable and had good lighting. The entire apartment was well ventilated and the cool mountain air and the presence of an air cooler made the Sicilian summer days very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with the essentials to aid an amateur or well heeled cook. There is a small green grocer in the vicinity who supplies you with fresh produce and also homemade torte and Sicilian pasta.

There were other things which made the Santa Teresa experience even more special. On our arrival, there were special Erician sweet meats and bottles of wine. Sergio even drove us to the car rental office in Trapani, giving us all the local tips on the restaurants, wine distilleries and beaches in the vicinity. For any problem be it the tips on how to counter attack a jelly fish sting to booking our airport transfers Sergio was always a phone call or text away. These small little gestures will always be one of the factors which will draw us back to Erice, not forgetting the most important being the Santa Teresa.

Erice is a town which is literally a walk in the clouds, with its cobbled and meandering streets lost in a past time, never wanting to be found again. Of churches and cute little piazzas, of pasta and couscous, of espresso and almonds, you experience them all. Above all, Santa Teresa is the place to put up your feet and rest!
