Best Trapani holiday apartments

In the extreme west of Sicily, around 100 kilometres from Palermo, Trapani attracts visitors with its historic old town and the bustling atmosphere of a Mediterranean seaport. The small town with its 70,000 inhabitants can look back on thousands of years of history dating back to the 13th century BC. The pre-Greek inhabitants of the region already used the natural harbour and thus laid the foundation stone for the port city of Trapani. The magnificent old town reminds to this day of the long history of Trapani, and with an apartment in Trapani you live in the midst of historical buildings such as the 700 year old basilica, the baroque cathedral and many other architectural treasures. At the same time, a private holiday apartment in Trapani offers you an insight into this traditional, agricultural region in western Sicily with its important vineyards, olive groves and lemon plantations. Find out more about accommodation in Salinagrande south of Trapani and discover the largest salt mines in Italy, which helped the city to economic upswing many centuries ago.
