Chirchiaro is situated in the rolling hills of western Sicily, a few kilometres as the crow flies from historic Salemi and just 30 minutes from the ancient Greek temple and theatre of Segesta.

The owner's organic farm, which surrounds the property, produces extra virgin olive oil, wine, honey, fruit and vegetables, all of which guests can sample during their stay. And if you're there during the grape and olive harvests, you'll be able to take part or watch.

Paths lead out directly from the property to the Baronia Forest, which has over 8km of walking trails. From the top, it is possible to see the ancient Greek theatre of the Segesta in the distance. We warmly recommend you explore the paths, taking with you a picnic of homegrown produce, local cheeses, cured meats and bread.

The nearest small town for shops and amenities is Vita, just a 10-minute drive away, while for cultural day trips, Chirchiaro is ideally placed for exploring the many treasures of western Sicily, thanks to its relative proximity to both legs of the A29 motorway (one running between Mazara del Vallo and Palermo, the other between Trapani and Palermo).

of Segesta (mentioned above) is just over the hill to the north, while the fascinating archaeological sites of Selinunte and Cave di Cusa (where the columns for the temples were hewn from a quarry) are about 40 minutes' drive away to the south.

Western Sicily's major historic towns, including Trapani, Marsala, Erice and Palermo are all between 50 and 80 minutes' drive away.

For a day on the beach you can choose north - 45-55 minutes to Castellammare del Golfo and Scopello, 80 minutes to idyllic San Vito lo Capo - or south - 45-55 minutes to the long sandy beaches of the Selinunte and Menfi.

For art lovers, a trip to New Gibellina and the ruins of Old Gibellina is highly recommended. The former brims with open-air installations, while the latter, which was destroyed by an earthquake, is home to the world-famous Cretto di Burri. In 2026, the two sites have been chosen as Italy's Capital of Contemporary Art.

The ruins of Old Poggioreale - now a ghost town - also make for a fascinating day out, combined with the Gibellinas. Guests staying at Chirchiaro might be interested in a tour of Gibellina and Poggioreale with an expert English-speaking guide.
