Erice village

Amongst castles, witches and bewitching culinary desserts

 Travel back to the Middle Ages of fairy castles, silent alleys, stories of witches and enchantments… fragrances of the local bakeries, rhythm of the looms and vivid colors of the pottery.

Erice is a magical and dreamlike place: where we feel as though we are immersed in a different dimension and have gone back in time. We have the opportunity to see impressive and captivating monuments as well as relax, all while strolling through the characteristic cobblestoned streets.

Visiting Erice becomes even the more fascinating once you follow our stories of mysteries, ghosts, soldiers and woman, and of traditions all of which but now extinct. Erice is also the city of love: locals relish in describing the ancient and famous worship of Venus, the sacral prostitution, forbidden love stories and the Inquisition.

You will visit the medieval castles, the Duomo and the most important monument: the Cyclopic Walls and enjoy the most exquisite panoramas.

Throughout our time together, we continue to learn about the ancient local craftsmanship and sample the traditional local desserts and pastries, whose secret recipes are zealously safeguarded by only a few and fascinating women from Erice.
