The Area

Il Canneto is situated on the southwest coast of Sicily midway between Agrigento, famous for the archaeological site of the Valley of the Temples, and Sciacca, a working fishing town with a well preserved historic centre and some excellent restaurants. A little further west along the coast past Sciacca, is another superb archaeological site, that of Selinunte.

The gorgeous long sandy beaches of the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve and Eraclea Minoa (which also has an impressive archaeological site) are just a few kilometres away, while if you head inland, you will find some historic hill-top towns, such as Caltabellotta, and the stunningly positioned castle of Mussomeli.

Our stay at Il Cannetto was certainly one of the main highlights of our trip. We loved visiting Torre Salsa and the gorgeous sandy beach. Yet again The Thinking Traveler did an amazing job. From planning our trip to providing such high quality accommodations to being so accessible and providing such great advice.
