Balio Gardens

Giardini del Balio in Sicilia | © Archivio West of Sicily

This elegant public garden, in English style, was born as a result of the intervention of the nineteenth century Count Agostino Pepoli, who transformed the area adjacent to the towers of Balio with the precise idea of creating a “garden enchanted“, a place of peace, reflection and contemplation of the surrounding landscape. It offers a view in different directions: from the Gulf of Trapani, meeting Mount Cofano, behind which you can see the tip of S. Vito lo Capo and, again, the port of Trapani and its port.

Vito lo Capo and, again, the port of Trapani and its salt pans, the Egadi Islands, the island of Mozia to Mazara del Vallo and, with a little luck, you can also see Cape Bon!
