About the villa
Combining undisturbed countryside with easy access to the coast, the spacious Villa Inzolia is peacefully positioned in the island’s north-western corner, just 2km from shops and restaurants in Portopalo di Menfi, and 2.5km from a gorgeous sandy beach. Thoughtfully designed to incorporate character with contemporary style, the house has all the usual mod-cons from air conditioning to WiFi, while its cool toned décor is splashed with colour from bright rugs and fabrics. Comprising two single-storey buildings, the villa’s main house has a stylish and airy sitting room with whitewashed beams, a fireplace and open access to the dining room.
This, in turn, leads into the smart and modern kitchen, and all three rooms open out to wrap-around terraces with covered areas furnished for al fresco dining and relaxing. Two bedrooms in the main house include the four-poster master suite, and there are two rooms in the annexe, each flexibly furnished for twin or double use, and both with French doors to a lawned area just behind the swimming pool, where deck chairs furnish a sizeable sun terrace with scenic views to the sea. This is where some of Sicily's loveliest beaches and clearest waters can be found and some of the island's finest wineries - just a few hundred metres from the property are the vineyards of the famous Planeta winery and at 200metres their renowned La Foresteria Planeta restaurant.

Selinunte and Western Sicily
Average weather
While still having a rich Italian heritage in food, history and culture, the west of Sicily has a noticeable African influence. Even with this, this area is still famous for an Italian tradition – winemaking – and is the home of the sweet desert wine, Marsala. The nightlife is something to experience, with family run restaurants popping up on the streets in the evening, showcasing a menu of freshly caught seafood, and other local dishes. But don’t forget about the days. Whatever interests you, there is something to see - from thermal baths and beaches to island trips and historical monuments.
