This patrician villa belongs to the owner's family since seven generations.
It was built in 1731 by the abbot Ferrando, when he was forced to
leave Genoa for political reasons and decided to settle in Sicily,
near Alcamo, a town of Arabic origine, famous for its wines and
here bought the feud and decided to build the farmhouse on ancient
ruins of an Arabic farmhous.
The property and the surrounding lands have been dedicated for
centuries to the cultivation of grapevines and olive trees that
surround the big valley and in which the property is located.

The
Farmhouse:
The house, currently inhabited by the owners, has an internal court
(just like all the typical farmhouses in the area of Trapani) and
different warehouses, a big bread oven and a chapel.
The fascinating enormous garden around the house has
a small water bowl and plenty of box hedges, magnolias, ficus, palms
etc.
|
| A
path, through orange and lemon trees behind the house, leads to
a pond large enough to be used by the owners to refresh and swimm
during summertime.
The farmhouse is just 20 minutes far from the Falcone-Borsellino
airport of Palermo. It is situated on the historical, cultural and
enological itinerary of the region of Trapani (the wine road of
Alcamo, Segesta, Gibellina, Scopello, Erice).
