46 bedrooms apartment

Alcamo, Trapani (province)

An exclusive farmhouse 'Baglio Pastore' in need of complete renovation, located in the Alcamo area and nestled in a strategic location between two airports (Palermo and Trapani). It is an eccentric and grandiose building, harking back to the grandeur days of its original owner, Baron Felice Pastore, a very important character and key figure in nineteenth-century Sicilian politics.

A Baglio, is a typical building of 19th century rural architecture and this one boasts of being one of the largest in Sicily. It's courtyard is truly impressive and is around 2,300 m2. It is rich in cultural, artistic, archaeological and natural beauties, as it is in one of the most evocative coastal areas of the Sicily. Furthermore, 'Baglio Pastore' is located in a position of considerable naturalistic beauty as it is surrounded by a vegetation typical of the Mediterranean flora, in a context of extreme richness of panoramas, incredible colors and a rich winemaking and culinary tradition.

The building structure gravitates around the courtyard, i.e. the so-called Baglio, from which all the other buildings lead to. Over the years, the Baglio has been a source of inspiration, becoming of great cultural significance, as well as the scene of successful films such as "I cento passi", "The sweet and the bitter", to name a couple, where one of the most important scenes of the film is actually shot inside the suggestive Baglio which is transformed into a real film set.

This marvelous and historically rich property is a major undertaking to renovate to its former glory. It would ultimately provide an ostentatious palace of extreme nobility.
