This villa offers a peaceful retreat just a ten-minute drive from Marinella di Selinunte and the beach. But location isn't all we love here – the sweeping panoramas of olive groves, vineyards, and the surrounding countryside aren't to be missed. A covered terrace makes a prime spot for alfresco dining, while the private pool invites you to jump in for a swim. Head indoors when you need a break from the sun. It's not the most modern, but it's cosy, comfortable, and traditional. There's also a sofa bed in the study for the seventh guest. Just note that while the owner lives next door, they'll respect your privacy during your stay.
