Overview
At the heart of a vast citrus plantation, L’Agave is a contemporary, one-storey villa with bright, spacious interiors and a choice of indoor and outdoor living areas – the perfect design for Sicily’s hot summers and balmy winters. French doors and large windows open to a beautiful garden surrounded by lemon trees, where an infinity-edged pool and a row of loungers suggest long, lazy days in the sunshine. The many amenities include air-conditioning, non-satellite television and ensuite bathrooms throughout. L’Agave lies within ten minutes’ drive of Selinunte, an ancient Greek colony overlooking the Mediterranean that is one of Sicily’s most spectacular archeological sites – and happens to be located on one of the island’s best beaches. This western portion of Sicily is less well known and less densely settled than the east but offers a wealth of touring option, from the windmills of Trapani to the baroque centre and little museum in Marsala. Palermo, Erice, Monreale and Agrigento are all about an hour’s drive away.

On the south-western coast of Sicily, 10 minutes from Selinunte and a string of white beaches. The nearest shops are at Castelvetrano, 3km/2 miles. 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. Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples lies about 100km/62 miles to the east.
