SCIACCATRAPANI

Owned by the same family since 1830 under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Villa Verde consists of two houses 1 Km. out of town of Sciacca and four from the sea, on the top of a low hill, with an extensive view over the countryside and the coastline.
The main house that originally was only one storey has undergone many changes and has been carefully restored in the last decade, divided now into 5 apartments from one to three bedrooms, with loggia and terraces.

In the same property the second smaller house is an encircled villa with private garden and access.
Sciacca, one of the Sicilian most picturesque coastal towns, is a fishing port untouched by mass tourism, situated on the archaeological road between Selinunte and Agrigento in Sicily. The Valley of Temples at Agrigento or a plunge into the remote Hellenic past in the great Greek Acropolis of Selinunte worth a visit.
Sciacca is also a very important tourist destination for its artistic ceramic works, architecture, churches and monuments.
Some of the Sicilian's best fish restaurants are minutes away whilst the sandy beach is 3 km far.

THE PORT

The Sciacca's 30 kilometres coastline offers the visitor the greatest imaginable variety of marine environments: large sandy beaches, sheer cliffs and remote tiny beaches, off the beaten track
Only 3 miles away, San Marco beach, Sovareto beach, Timpi russi beach offer opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, sailing, windsurfing and have panoramic views of the coast for miles away. Sea water is usually on the cool side due to the channel stream. Biking, trekking and boat trips can be taken from the harbour and there is a good beach 3 miles out of town.

The best sandy beach of the area is on the nearby coast " Eraclea Minoa".
Fresh fish as good wine and also a variety of traditional shops offering hand painted local pottery can be purchased at the shopping centre for reasonable price (1 mile away) few good restaurants are within a short distance.

Throughout alleys and little squares of the port area and the town center there are many restaurants, all specialized with delicious (sea-)food. Winding stairways, narrow little streets and alleys, window are filled with the inevitable geraniums.

The real heart of the town centre is steeped in history and ancient architecture of Moorish, and baroque style, ancient alleyways and courtyards. A labyrinth of houses and streets, some of which can be narrow enough to fit only a single person at a time.
Gelato lovers take note: The "granita" in Sciacca is widely regarded as one of the best in Italy, other sciacca desserts are cassata, cannoli with ricotta cheese and finally arancini (rice balls with ragù sauce).
Sciacca is a very safe place you can go anywhere for a good night, you will find locals warm and friendly.

In addition to the indented coastline, Sciacca has also a gentle healthy climate which makes it an ideal place for health cures thermal spa complex and public pool with hot water. The thermal Piscine, costs the princely sum of € 5 for a day.
Less than 2 miles from the property, at the end of the road, Monte Kronio with its natural steam and a spectacular view of mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.

Regional bus service in Sciacca provides regular connections for Palermo, Trapani and Agrigento which can be reached in less than two hours. The train service is very poor.
A car is needed to visit the most important sites and monuments of the island, since the most famous are spread around the island, and the different areas each have their own unique attractions.
Roads are OK. Try to avoid Catania and Palermo and you'll find that driving around Sicily is not easy but the best way.
The privilege of being in a central coastal position means that many other parts of the island can easily be reached.
