Santa Maria - Self-catering space in Sicily
91026 Mazara del Vallo, Trapani
Sicily,
Italia
The high walls and antique door of this 17th-century fortified farmhouse protect a courtyard where pots and statues, arches and columns, bougainvillea, balconies and shutters create a harmonious atmosphere. Inside all is gently faded glory and family history. The fine big sitting room opens onto the lemon grove, its table and Moroccan lights for summer suppers, and there’s a fireplace in the dining room for winter evenings. The library is full of books and board games, interesting pictures and objects from the family’s worldwide travels are everywhere, as is a well-directed sense of colour. Bedrooms are light and spacious – one has contrasting designs of antique inlaid wood and modern metal; the ‘Moroccan’ room is exotic with its domed ceiling and richly tiled bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking but you can also hire a cook. Stay in the lovely quiet garden by the pool, play tennis or visit incomparable Greek temples, little ports and islands and the famous Dancing Satyr.

Local points of interest from Caroline Manzo:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Caroline Manzo:
- Relax by the 12x 6 swimming pool in the shade of ancient olive trees, surrounded by a lush Mediterranean garden. Enjoy a game of tennis on the private tennis court or stroll down the pine avenue to the 16th century watchtower within the grounds.
- Explore the beautiful coastline just 10 minutes away. Swim in the bay of Marinella below the Greek temples of Selinunte or hire a boat and view them from the sea. Go snorkelling in crystal clear waters or relax on one of the long sandy beaches nearby.
- Mazara, the town and fishing port is ten minutes away by car. Wander through the historic centre with its baroque squares and magnificent Cathedral or through the Kasbah to the fish market. Buy almond pastries from the cloistered nuns of the San Michele .
- Don’t miss the Museo del Satiro housing the world-famous Dancing Satyr, a stunningly beautiful bronze staue from the 4th century B.C. discovered by local fishermen. Watch the video telling the extraordinary story of its discovery and restoration.
- Neighboring Marsala, once the Roman Lilybaeum, famous as the landing point for Garibaldi, is the centre of the local wine industry, founded by the Enlish in the 18th century. Local wineries such as Florio and Pellegrino are open for tours and wine tasting.
- You are only half an hour’s drive from Selinunte, one of the largest archaeological sites of the Ancient Greek world. Visit the temples, enjoy the views over the sea, then catch a golf buggy to the Punic shrine on the outskirts of the site.
