Via Bisaccia, Partinico

The cluster lies in the coastal plain and low hills west of Palermo, with the Gulf of Castellammare on this stretch of coast. Monte d'Oro and the first relief of the north-west Sicilian hills rise inland, but this is not a high mountain setting. The nearest town of size is Partinico, which has the normal services of a medium small town; Alcamo and Castellammare del Golfo are also close in daily use. Palermo is the main city for higher-level services and the airport at Punta Raisi is relatively near. This part of western Sicily is known for vineyards, olive groves and citrus cultivation.
