Perched high on a hillside, 2km north of Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro's northern entrance and 10km south of San Vito Lo Capo, this B&B makes a great getaway. The converted old farmhouse houses five rooms, the best of which have hypnotic sea views. Breakfast is served on a stone terrace under the trees, with birds singing all around.
