A practical, modern family villa with pool near the wonderful sandy beaches of south-west Sicily.

Altea combines everything necessary for a memorable family holiday: bright, easy and modern interiors, beautiful views over the gently rolling surrounding countryside and a panoramic pool set in lovely gardens... all within a 5-minute drive of some fabulous sandy beaches!

Overall the villa was lovely - we really enjoyed being remote and relaxed and the villa had pretty much everything that we needed. The views were beautiful... The owner was very accommodating." Lucie Lorenz, UK, July 2012

About the Property


Inside: accommodation at Altea is all on one floor. The main entrance takes one into the comfortable, open-plan living and dining area, which features white-beamed ceilings, an open fireplace and two large sets of French windows accessing the panoramic main terrace. To the right is the small but practical kitchen (also with access to the main terrace), the first of three bathrooms and a laundry room. To the left of the living-dining area, a short corridor takes one past a study (that may also be used as a single bedroom) to a bathroom and two double bedrooms, one of which has its own en-suite bathroom. The calming, cooling white of the interiors is offset perfectly by the vibrant greens and earthy hues of the surrounding countryside.

Outside: arrival at Altea is heralded by a large, furnished solarium and terraced gardens. To the front of the house is a second, large covered terrace, accessed from the open-plan living and dining area and from the kitchen. This too is furnished, with easy chairs and a dining table, and it is here that you will probably take most of your meals during the summer months. Views stretch out down over the lovely gardens, the panoramic pool and the undulating vine-carpeted countryside that surrounds the house.

Think About

A practical, modern house close to sandy beaches. Great for families. The closest beaches are in the Belice Nature Reserve - wild and unspoilt. There are no lidos and you have to park just outside the reserve and walk for 5-10 minutes. The effort is worth it! Otherwise the seafront of nearby Porto Palo has a fantastic beach with lidos, bars and restaurants.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

The long, often deserted sandy beaches are without a doubt one of the major attractions of the area around Menfi, and Altea is within easy reach of several of these. From the unspoilt natural beaches of the Belice Nature Reserve (5 mins by car) to the fully equipped lidi with sports and restaurant facilities of Porto Palo, this area is a magnet for beach lovers. For those in search of culture, the superb Greek archaeological site of Selinunte is one of the finest in the Mediterranean. Menfi itself is a centre of the local wine industry, with several wineries, including a large Planeta winery that produces some of the best known wines of that famous marque. Sciacca, too, is just up the coast. This old fishing port and spa town is well worth a visit, and has some great fish restaurants. And when you've done all that, head inland to see some fascinating hill towns, such as Caltabellotta or Sambuca.

 Linda Tenger, United Kingdom, 9 September 2012
"We loved the villa with its westerly aspect and fantastically peaceful location - it suited us perfectly and we had a a wonderful holiday - marred only by having to leave and wishing we'd booked for 2 weeks instead of one!"

Lucie Lorenz, United Kingdom, 21 July 2012
"Overall the villa was lovely - we really enjoyed being remote and relaxed and the villa had pretty much everything that we needed. The views were beautiful... The owner was very accomodating. We had ordered a hamper as we arrived late and it turned out that she had cooked us pasta. This was so helpful and life-saving. Top marks for that."
