Case Colomba

Directions (how to arrive at the hostel):

Case Colomba is situated on the main road which links the 187 and the A29 Palermo-Mazara motorway.
The exact location of our houses is in the tiny village Murfi, no more than a few houses, which, along with a number of other villages, is right on the edge of the Buseto countryside. Together they make up the district of Buseto Palizzolo, an area where it is still possible to catch the rare sight of a living and working countryside.

In ancient times, the road linking the two ancient Elime settlements of Erice and Segesta passed through this area. In 827 A.D. the Arabs revolutionised the layout of the countryside with the introduction of small holdings, new crops and new irrigation.

The countryside of Western Sicily has its own particular character which distinguishes it from other areas, due in great part to the efforts of British entrepreneurs in the eighteenth century who recognised the value of wine-growing and injected new life into the local estates.

· A29 Palermo-Trapani - leave the motorway at the Fulgatore exit following signs to Ballata-Buseto Palizzolo
