At the top of the gentle hill that houses Baglio Sorìa, the Belvedere stands imposingly tall: Trapani appears immense, surrounded by the spectacle of Sicilian nature, among vineyards and olive groves.
On the clearest days, the eye can catch a good part of the westernmost coast of Sicily, from the Stagnone with the island of Lunga and Mozia overlooking Marsala to the Mount of Erice with its medieval village. In the center of this magnificent view are the Egadi Islands, with Favignana and Levanzo in the foreground and, in the background, the island of Marettimo.
Below the hill of the Belvedere of Baglio Soria, the verdant valleys of vineyards and olive trees lap the small irrigated lake of Paceco and slope gently toward the sea. This place appears enchanted to the eyes of the visitor eager to rediscover the colors of a still unspoiled nature.
The valleys are the natural landing place for flocks of pink flamingos and storks that have chosen this earthly paradise in the heart of the Mediterranean.
No less fascinating is the presence of the salt pans, with seawater collection tanks that reflect the color of the sky and the sun’s rays. Observing them from the Belvedere of Baglio Sorìa at sunset is a unique emotion: the red of the sun on the water expands in a few moments that invite meditation and reflection.
Beauty, place identity, community and history. The civilization of vines and wine has marked these territories forever. One only has to turn one’s gaze to get absolute proof: vineyards interspersed with olive trees and strips of land on which wheat is grown.
The vantage point of Baglio Sorìa’s Belvedere is the ideal place to contemplate the Trapani countryside and its wonders, sipping a glass of Firriato wine caressed by the Mediterranean sea breeze.
This is Baglio Sorìa. This is its breathtaking Belvedere. Here the Gaze is Infinite.
