SURROUNDINGS

GIARDINI MON PLAISIR EXPERIENCE

Giardini Mon Plaisir proposes a voyage of discovery of the gastronomic culture of western Sicily, traversing the unique places, flavours and fragrances of the province, including art, history, cuisine and industry.

FISHING TRIP

Experience the thrill of an organised fishing trip in the enchanting sea of Trapani and the Egadi Islands between Levanzo, Favignana and Marettimo.

An exclusive experience, or to be organised together with other enthusiasts eager to try their hand at fishing in the Mediterranean Sea. Accompanied by skilled and experienced fishermen, it will be an opportunity to discover the secrets and get to know the most fishy areas where shoals of fish usually pass.

The best time for a fishing charter in the Egadi Islands and on the shoals of western Sicily is from September to December and from March to June, but in general any month is full of fun.

The occasion will be full of fun, thanks to dives into the sea to regenerate between one beat and another, and excitement thanks to frequent encounters with schools of dolphins.

DISCOVERING THE EGADI ISLANDS

A visit to Trapani should be completed with the discovery of the Egadi Islands by organising one or more dedicated cruises.

A one-day mini-cruise is an opportunity for an unforgettable trip to enjoy the enchanting sea of Trapani and the islands.

The most frequent cruises offer several stops, useful for a dip in the best known coves, but also for a stroll around the centre of Favignana.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL TASTING

A sensory journey aimed at discovering the creation process from harvesting to pressing and bottling the world’s most popular golden nectar: extra virgin olive oil.

The local mills still harvest the olives by hand, and those in search of quality mechanically cold-press the olives at temperatures that never exceed 27° to protect the organoleptic properties.

Tasting courses aim to provide knowledge of typical Sicilian varieties, particularly from the Trapani area, how to taste them and their use in cooking and at the table.

A unique opportunity to also learn how to improve nutrition, and not just taste, according to the Mediterranean diet.

WINE TASTING IN THE CELLAR

Trapani is the starting point for discovering wine and Marsala in particular!

The wine road is one of the most interesting routes to discover the area from an oenological point of view: driving from the centre towards Mazara del Vallo, on one side you can enjoy the view of the sea and on the other the land and ancient factories where the English and the Florios produced Marsala wine.

Every stone is still there to testify to the legendary history of a land that becomes a gastronomic jewel.

Important wineries such as Florio, Donnafugata, Firriato, Pellegrino and Fondo Antico open their doors for unforgettable tasting sessions.

Giardini Mon Plaisir can, on request, also bring the tasting inside its gardens, without interrupting the magic of the holiday you will experience inside the villa: all you have to do is talk to the hosts…

BIKE TOUR OF TRAPANI

The city of Trapani is flat and surrounded on two sides by the sea: it is particularly convenient for cycling.

Giardini Mon Plaisir provides its guests with bicycles so that they can discover the city at their own pace and with respect for nature.

On request, it is also possible to organise guided excursions in the city and outside the city, such as trips to discover the salt pans or excursions up to Erice, perhaps renting comfortable e-bikes (electric bicycles) that allow everyone to climb the mountain without tiring.

SICILIAN CERAMIC DECORATION

Sicilian ceramics are well known throughout the world: the technique of colouring ceramics sees a kind of magic, in fact, the terracotta once painted changes colour during firing.

Ceramic decoration courses involve the use of very sensitive brushes and the use of ceramic colours, suitable for changing colouring during the firing of terracotta.

Guided by a master ceramist, you will learn how to decorate terracotta with designs of fruit, flowers, arabesques, butterflies and the classic geometric designs known all over the world.

You will take home a unique piece created by you to keep as a souvenir or to show off to friends when recounting a unique holiday. Ceramic decoration at Giardini Mon Plaisir will be a memory that will enrich and excite you.
