Experience History,
be part of a Rebirth

Staying at Antica Corte delle Ninfee means becoming part of a living dream… This 15th-century convent, once a carpentry workshop and then abandoned, has finally returned to our family.

Here you won’t find a hotel, but an intimate villa rich in heart, offering the warmth of a home just steps from the sea. You will be welcomed by our secret garden — home to a 400-year-old vine — and by the soul of my father, the guardian of this place.

A heartfelt thank you to those who choose to stay with us: your presence helps us preserve this 700-year-old memory and bring it back to life every day.

Step into a truly unique and romantic experience in our 90 sqm 15th-century Chapel Suite. This exceptional space features a canopy bed on a mezzanine level, offering a stunning view of the living area below. The suite includes a cozy sofa that converts into a single bed, ideal for an extra guest, with the option to add another bed if needed. However, it is primarily recommended for two guests, as its intimate atmosphere is perfect for a romantic getaway. The suite’s design preserves the original historical features, including the walls, flooring, and niches, making it a truly special and unique space. The octagonal ceiling, once supporting the old dome, is a breathtaking focal point, with the chapel’s original square base still intact. Angelic motifs crafted in 1400s Favignana tuff stone complete the historic charm of this magnificent space. Equipped with modern comforts, including a fully functional kitchenette, a private bathroom, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a large smart TV, this suite offers an unmatched experience combining the best of history and charme.

Zobúdzať sa s výhľadom do antickej záhrady, keď vám do nosa udrie voňa čerstvých koláčikov z vedľajšej pasticcerie,  a kde sa o vás postará Luna, majiteľka tejto nádhernej vily v historickom monastere Trapani, ktorá dáva svojim hosťom pohostinnosť, starostlivosť a to všetko s radosťou a s láskou v srdci k tejto nádhernej časti zeme …

Lovely apartment just seconds from the historical centre. Very interesting old convent converted into flats. The flats open out into the beautiful garden where Luna, the charming owner plies you with pastries from the local patisserie. She couldn’t have been more helpful. Really lovely.

Historisk sted og vanvittigt flot. Der er tjek på det hele og utrolig varm og personlig vært. Vi var der 5 nætter og det var gennemført fornøjelse alle dagene. God til familie, men i den grad også andre rejsende.

We really loved the place. Luna made us feel very welcome. We met other nice guests and had a lovely dinner in the garden. It was really special. The appartment is in the middle of the center, yet very quiet at night. We will surely come back one day.

Luna ist wirklich eine perfekte Gastgeberin Der Innenhof des vormaligen Klosters gleicht einem liebevoll eingerichteten Garten. Die Altstadt ist direkt zu erreichen. Lebensmittel und Restaurants sind um die Ecke. Verpasst auf keinen Fall die Sunsetbar am Hafen. Viele Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge.

Meravigliosa struttura, posto fiabesco che ti riporta indietro nel tempo. Posto tranquillo pur essendo in centro, posizione più che ottima,e poi c’è Luna la proprietaria che è persona squisita disponibile al massimo, accoglienza dieci e lode. Spero di ritornare presto

Damiano (Trevignano, Italia)

Che dire…appartamento speciale in una città altrettanto speciale. Per le sue antiche origini la location è assai suggestiva, in pieno centro e comoda a tutti i servizi, vicina a porto e spiagge ma allo stesso tempo “nascosta” in un piccolo angolo che ti permette la massima tranquillità. Accoglienza splendida, massima gentilezza e cortesia, disponibile per ogni esigenza e bisogno, risorsa di informazioni e consigli, guida turistica… Luna non è un host, è un’amica. Grazie!

What a wonderful place! What wonderful caring, gentle, helpful and attentive hosts! I spent a little bit more than 4 weeks in Oct/Nov. at Luna´s place and could not have been happier. The location is central enough to reach the main streets of Trapani´s old town within 2-3 minutes by foot -but without the noise normally associated with adjoining bars and restaurants of a central location. Perfect! The courtyard seems like an island of tranquillity and serenity. Perfect! And the appartment itself is just like the pictures show. Spacious, comfortable and equipped with all the necessities. Perfect! Thank you Luna for all your help and generosity. And also a big thank you to Anna and Enzo for helping me feel at home! I will always fondly look back to my stay here and will be very happy to come back!

We felt immersed in the heart of old town Trapani. Luna’s Place itself was quite tranquil. The best bakery in town was 20 meters away and our morning breakfast cafe at a small nearby plaza, 50 meters from our door, made us feel like locals. Mina went out of her way to walk us around, bring treats, set up a private boat trip to the islands and she was a wonderful hostess.

Le logement est superbe. Avec un vrai charme de l’ancien couvent, avec une cour intérieure / jardin très calme, et agréable pour se reposer. C’est très bien situé en centre ville, et permet de se balader à pied, d’aller facilement sur le port, se balader dans les ruelles, aller au bar / restaurant … etc. (nous avions laissé la voiture au grand parking proche ). Nous avons été reçus par une amie de Luna, en voyage au moment de notre séjour. Elle a été adorable, avec nous, très à l’écoute et pleine d’attentions (très chouette apéritif de bienvenu, petits cadeaux, bons conseils de visites et cafés / restaurants, discussions très sympas sur la Sicile). Nous avons adoré les 4 jours passés à Trapani. Merci pour cette belle adresse et cet accueil !
