Welcome to
Casa dell’Ulivo
A 19th century house just behind the town church, not 500m from the beaches. From its unique planted rooftop, you enjoy a spectacular view over the Sicilian-style churn dome, and the Castle Santa Catarina on top of the hill.
The place was fully renovated in 2022, bringing every modern amenities into an old tuf town house, preserving its traditional features, such as the old wood doors, or the original cement tiles. It can host 4 in 2 bedrooms.
Favignana is part of the Egadi Islands, together with Marettimo and Levanzo. It maintains a round-the-year harmonious local life, while July and August are definitely summer-holiday oriented. With many daily inter-islands ferries, it is the base-camp of choice to explore the Egadi, and also Trapani and Erice, or even Marsala.
