It was so sweet. The museum - village is so well maintained and I was struck by all the detail we could figure out. Unfortunately we couldn't go all the way into Grotto since there was a movie to be shot. But anyway. Already the outsides were really really nice!

We randomly found this place while browsing on Google Maps and we loved it!! I strongly recommend a stop here if you are in the area. The entrance is by donation, that you can leave once you exit the place.

It is a historic place very well kept from a no profit foundation of young people who truly believe in the history of the place. It is a small family village built between and into the rocks where you can find all the ancient shops from medieval times. Very recommended.

Wonderful place to visit. Very interesting to see the history of the place. Our 3 year old loved the peacocks, donkeys and goats. No entry fee but suggested donation. Cafe at the end to refuel- drinks and snacks available. We were there for 2 hours.

Excellent. Make sure you visit this attraction!

Small Village dated less than 200 years, located in the very proximity or inside caves. Great atmosphere, houses are really well conserved, parking and entrance is free but donations are nicely met. Enjoy very climatic toilet :)

Wonderful small abandoned family village, it still has some of their stuff in there. Totally worth visiting.

Full relaxation, a great place in the morning, something completely different, extra animals ...

What a magical place this was to visit! So happy to have seen all the traditional items, this place is so peaceful and simply beautiful! A special Thank You also to the staff at the Bazar, made my day even better with all the food/nibbles recommendations and their candour, this place is so magical and beautiful because of the people looking after it! 🍋🫶

This place really impressed us. Our expectations were not high, so we were positively surprised how good it was. There is a large parking lot very close by. The venue consists of several buildings/workshops that display how the place would have looked like. You follow a path that will eventually lead you to the cave buildings. There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the cafe, which serves various beverages and foods. The entrance is free, but at the exit you can donate to the place to support upkeep. We highly recommend this hidden gem.

Easy large parking space available. Some explanation about the place was given to the Italian visitors whilst nothing was explained to other nationalities. Still a very nice and quiet place to visit.

This place is really fantastic! You'll get some history explanation, then stroll around to see the historical homes, and animals. Then you can chill with some good coffee and buy some local souvenirs. Really well kept and lovely place (with some bats flying in the cave as well)

Great hike, and the story is superb about the area and people.

Wonderful location, especially when coming with children. You can experience the life in former times with houses built in the cave and around, animals and a really nice Café with a sea view. Free entry, you can donate.

Cute and unique old village under a cave! Kind personnel will explain you the history of this location :) Well maintained structures, plants and animals around the place.

Worth a look! It is an interesting grotta, you can see how people lived there a long time ago, really cool. Good coffee with an incredible view!

Surprisingly interesting and well organized. The café is pretty decent too. Free admissions but donations are expected.

PHENOMENAL experience - step back in time to see what living in a cave community wood have been like in the past - everything from the well, to mill, to olive press to bakery - surprisingly interesting - and you can 'donate what you feel' at the end. Great little bar with snacks, drinks and modern toilets complete the set up (worth mentioning - because refreshments were not part of the set up in previous years).

An interesting place to spend an hour or two. It was fascinating to see how people may have lived. The café is beautiful and was a great spot for a refreshing drink.

Beautiful insight into ancient village - crafts and animals included.

Beautiful place. Well organized with free entrance. Though it is expected that you leave a small donation at the entrance, which is completely okay because it helps them run the place and keep it clean and feeds the animals.

Very interesting and friendly place. Old Sicily style. If you are a tourist, this is why you came to Sicily.

Pretty cool. Hard to fund an English translator. But very beautiful. Be warned take lots of water.

A very charming and authentic piece of old Sicily with a lovely bar for aperitivo with typical products

Great place to visit, no entry fee but donations are very welcomed. Wish we spoke Italian and could understand the custodian of this place who clearly knew a lot about this place. The place will transport you back in time and leave you very inspired.

Such an amazing place to visit! The visit is free, but you can leave a donation at the end of the tour if you like. It's a little village built inside a beautiful cave, close to the sea. I loved it!

Very nice place to visit and a beautiful route from San Vito lo Cape to Trapani

It is like time has stood still in this amazing area, where a settlement of people lived right up to around 1945. Very interesting and original place to visit. The people who look after the area are very helpful and explain in detail how the people lived in that time. Highly recommend a visit here. At Christmas time a live crib is on display

Interesting place to visit if you are nearby. Car parking, toilet and entrance to the village are free, but donations are very welcome. It was nice to see how people lived here near and inside the grotto, many stuff preserved and exhibited in the village houses. Everyone will love live animals there - donkeys, goats, peacocks, hens etc.

Wonderful, interesting and well maintained place. Real animals, beautiful nature. And the view :)))

Nice place with houses inside the cave. During the Christmas they have Live Crib, worth to see it!!

Needs up grading and cleaning but interesting place

Wonderful little exhibition. Very nice people who offer tours in Italian for donation. No entrance fee

This place will soon be part of the UNESCO or will have anyhow a lot of attentions, it contains some ancient graffiti, dated more than 10thousands years ago, and it used to be underwater, inside you can find some seadates. It was also a city built apparently by a family called Mangiapane, who used to live there for about 150 years, building a village. Andrea, the responsible of the place, looks after it so well and he's very passionate about it! I wish you to meet him. It's too hard to explain how much there is in this place to be seen, you better check it out yourself, it is definitely a MUST place if you are even not around the area.

Really worth a visit. Its run by the local church and works on donations and you have and in depth explination on the history of the family. A great experience for all ages.

Very awesome place, showing how was the local industry century ago, many different and original huts. There are also different kind of farm animals. Very nive 30 min stop. The entrance is cost 2€ per person.
