baglio
is located 9km east of Erice in Valderice. Set amid citrus groves and lush gardens, the ori-
ginal stone building and its less attractive modern extension offer 67 rooms, some with
exposed stone walls and wooden ceiling beams. There's a restaurant, and the swimming
pool, with its stupendous views, is a great addition in summer.
