Location Guide
About Salemi and our Studio
Salemi Ceramics is located in the old town of Salemi, Sicily. Salemi is a charming town located on top of a hill, just 55 minutes from Palermo city and 45 minutes from Palermo Airport. It’s a beautiful place with cobblestoned, narrow streets in the Old Town, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The town has a relaxed vibe, especially during siesta from 1 to 4 pm, when everything slows down. Sundays are particularly quiet and slow, with one supermarket open until 1:30 pm.
Outside the Old Town, Salemi has steep streets that are best for capable walkers. This adds to its unique character. Whether you're wandering the charming alleyways or taking in the beautiful hilltop views, Salemi offers a delightful mix of history, charm, and tranquility.
Salemi Ceramics Studio is based in the (former) Chiostro Di Sant’Agostino in Salemi, you'll find us here:
Here is a link to Google Maps that shows precisely where the Convent is.
Accommodation
We strongly recommend you source accommodation in the Old town, as this will make it easy for you to be on foot for the week - walking to and from the Studio and also back to your accommodation after dinner will make your life easy.
Feel free to reach out to us for recommendations or more information about these accommodations. We’d love to help you!
