Experience History,
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.


Trapani, the Heart of Western Sicily
You will find us in the historical centre of Trapani, a city where the sea meets centuries of culture. We are in the perfect spot: the middle ground between Palermo and Agrigento, making our Villa the ideal starting point to explore the West.
- Sea & Islands: Just a few minutes’ walk to the port for a boat to the Egadi Islands (Favignana, Levanzo, Marettimo).
- Medieval Charm: Quickly reach the cable car to the village of Erice.
- Day Trips (<40 min): Explore the Marsala Salt Pans, San Vito Lo Capo, the Zingaro Reserve, and the majestic temples of Segesta and Selinunte.
