| Location |
|
|
|
The villa is set on the south-western coast of Sicily, about 10 minutes’ drive from Selinunte, which not only claims some of the most beautiful Greek ruins in Italy but also a string of white beaches, a few small shops and a simple seaside restaurant, La PIneta, that has become a favourite with our guests. Castelvetrano, 3km/2 miles, is a larger town with more facilities generally. An excellent motorway runs between Castelvetrano and Palermo, 1 hour to the centre, a wonderful city for touring with some very unusual sights. There are two worthwhile detours on the way: the little solitary temple of Segesta and Monreale, for a look at its mosaic-encrusted Duomo. Along the western coast of Sicily, don’t miss the wineries of Marsala or the salt flats and windmills of Trapani, both about 1 hour. Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples lie about 100km/62 miles to the east.
