About Ad Sidera

Ad Sidera Sicily is a family company based in Trapani. Under the name Ad Sidera Stays we look after four apartments — Badia, Verde, Corallo and Palma — on the second and third floors of a 16th-century palazzo in Via San Michele, in the historic centre of the city. The building was restored room by room and filled with contemporary artworks, so each apartment keeps its old vaults, tiles and light while working like a modern home.

From the door you are a few minutes' walk from the fish market, the port for the Egadi Islands, the cathedral and the sea walls of the old town, with the salt pans to the west and Erice above. Badia and Corallo can each be connected with Verde for larger groups, Palma has a private terrace, and Corallo has a wheelchair accessible room and bathroom.
