About the property
Inside
accommodation at La Brucatina is all on one floor.From a shaded area of decking, a sliding glass door opens into the hub of the home, a welcoming open-plan space that sets the tone for the property as a whole.
Smooth, sandy floors, white walls, and curvaceous, lofty vaulted ceilings in creamy tufa stone (a material that has been sourced on the island since Roman times) combine to create a soft, tranquil atmosphere that infuses all the rooms with a sense of well-being. Furnishings are a subtle mix of antiques and modern, while the lighting and the decorative pieces blend contemporary flourishes, reclaimed timber adornments, colourful Sicilian ceramics, and sculptural driftwood informality.
To one side is a sea-view dining table and a well-equipped kitchen, while to the other is a comfortably furnished sitting area with a white sofa and a selection of easy chairs. On the left, another wall of sliding glass doors opens out onto a side terrace.
Accessed from the living area via a short corridor (with guest WC), is the principal bedroom, a generously spacious double with sea views, terrace access, a spacious en-suite shower room, and a study area.
The remaining two bedrooms are accessed externally to one side of the property. Both doubles, they have en-suite shower rooms and share a shady terrace.
Outside
al fresco life at La Brucatina revolves around the sea-facing side of the property, and it is here (when you're not at the beach or exploring lovely Favignana) that you will spend most of your time.Accessed via a wide sliding glass door from the open-plan communal area is a well-shaded, decked terrace that's been furnished for lazy lounging and gazing out to sea. A wide-open gravel area leads to a second sitting area with cushioned, built-in seating.
A decked walkway skirts around the side of the property, before arriving at a sheltered and shaded area of terrace that concludes outside the two externally accessed bedrooms.
Bougainvillea, dwarf palms and other characteristically Sicilian flora enliven the ambience with dashes of colour and exoticism.

About the Area
Favignana, or La Farfalla as it is often referred to thanks to its butterfly shape, is the largest and most important of the Egadi Islands. It lies some 10 miles of the coast of Trapani and is a popular holiday destination in the summer months largely thanks to its crystalline azure waters in its myriad bays. Getting around by bike is arguably the best form of transport, and it is easy to rent bikes for the duration of your stay.
The island's capital, Favignana Town, is just a 15-minute walk away (or a short bike ride) from La Brucatina. It has a small port dominated by the Fort of Santa Caterina (of Saracen and Norman heritage), a beautiful sandy beach, and two main piazzas flanked by restaurants, gelaterie, bars, and cafés. It is also home to two buildings testifying to the influence of the once-mighty Florio family: Palazzo Florio, built in 1876 near the harbour, and the hugely impressive Florio tuna fishery, now a fascinating museum with permanent and temporary exhibitions documenting the island's history.
The closest sea access/beaches to La Brucatina are Cala Graziosa (40m), and Favignana Sea Club (a beach with lido - 600m). Praia beach in Favignana Town is about a 20-minute walk.
There is also good scuba-diving to be had, especially in the sea caves such as Grotta Azzurra, Grotta dei Sospiri (sospiri means “sighs”), and Grotta degli Innamorati (the Lovers’ Grotto).
While staying on Favignana, we recommend a little island-hopping to the other two islands, Levanzo and Marettimo.
Favignana is just a 20-minute hop on the hydrofoil (regular services year round) or 45 minutes on the car ferry from Trapani (whose airport is 15 minutes outside town). Trapani is less than one hour’s drive from Palermo airport.
Considerations
Please note that while La Brucatina does not have a pool, the nearest sea access is only 50m away.
This property is located in a residential area and therefore has neighbours.
Part of the external area is overlooked.
As La Brucatina is located on an island, so we recommend extra caution when booking your flights to avoid problems or delays with ferries and hydrofoils. It may be advisable to arrive a day earlier and depart a day later. Please contact us for any information or advice.
