Join us for our 2nd retreat, this time on the stunning West coast of Sicily. Salinara Art Farm and Retreat Center is an elegant, renovated 18th century farm, close to the beautiful Baroque town of Marsala, just 15 minutes from Trapani airport and two hours from historic Palermo. The farm is immersed in nature, surrounded by ancient salt pans, windmills, vineyards and olive groves, and within walking distance of the Mediterranean sea.
Together we will explore the coastal towns of Marsala and Trapani, taste the local wines, visit the medieval town of Erice, tour the Temple of Segesta, and take a dip in the hot springs.
Or, on your own, simply enjoy il dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing—relaxing on your private terrace or chilling in a hammock in the pretty gardens. Full of extraordinary charm and natural beauty, Salinara is a perfect retreat hideaway where both body and soul can regenerate.
