Case
Colomba is situated on the main road which links the 187 and the A29
Palermo-Mazara motorway. Its excellent position makes it an ideal starting point for day trips to places of interest and the National Parks of Western Sicily.
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. You can reach Case Colomba from: ·
