Situated near the charming town of Salemi in the Trapani area of Sicily, this country villa epitomises Mediterranean charm. From the vine-covered pergola setting – perfect for alfresco meals and Italian aperitifs shaded from the sun to the private swimming pool and sun terrace – it's easy to unplug and unwind from the outdoor areas here. The inside also gives off quintessential Italy, and while the classic designs might not be to everyone's tastes, they certainly add to the authentic Sicilian aesthetic. Beyond the villa, the surrounding Trapani region offers attractions such as the beaches of Marsala, Scopello town, and Zingaro nature reserve.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to maximise your stay. There is private parking on the premises.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request.
*There is an annexe on the property, which can be rented out as part of the villa for additional guests – please enquire with the host if you are a group larger than six guests.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*The home is spread across two floors without a lift, so it may not be suited to those with limited mobility.
