Simplicity at its best at this quintessential summer house with direct access to sandy beaches.

Refreshing summer breezes, shady terraces and never-ending sea views ... Cinnamon is a perfect retreat for those looking for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. While there is plenty to see and do in the area, guests often prefer the comfort of their hammock and an occasional stroll through the garden down to the sandy beaches below.

“The villa was more rustic farmhouse in flavour but this only added to its charm. It felt typically Sicilian and to be able to pick our own basil, courgettes and tomatoes from the garden was a delight. It was totally secluded making it one of the most relaxing and peaceful places we have ever stayed in.” Rochelle Heslam, UK, June 2011

About the Property

Inside: entrance to Cinnamon is from the covered terraces which surround the house. The furnishings inside are a mixture of cheerful, bright colours, terracotta floors and white walls. The living area, with a couple of built in sofas, leads to the small but well-equipped kitchen. Through to the sleeping area, there are two bedrooms, one double and one twin, and a shower bathroom with beautiful antique ceramic tiles.

Outside: most of your time will probably be spent on the fully-furnished terraces surrounding the house. The al fresco dining areas, complete with barbecue, are ideal for long lazy lunches or romantic moonlit dinners. Surrounding this little oasis of shade is the large garden, complete with lawns and an extensive kitchen garden, whose produce you are welcome to use! Views of the sea and vine-strewn hills abound from all over the property.

Think About

The nearest beach is an easy 5-10 minute walk across country below the house. There are many other beaches within a short drive including the large sea-front of Porto Palo itself. In Porto Palo there is a selection of restaurants and lidos where you can hire sun loungers and umbrellas.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Porto Palo di Menfi is on the south west coast of Sicily, between Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo, just a few kilometres east of the fabulous archaeological site of Selinunte. The beaches along this stretch of coast are amongst the most beautiful in Sicily. Most of the gently undulating countryside of the area is given over to vineyards.

Day trips from Porto Palo include Sciacca, Selinunte, and Mazara del Vallo, a vibrant fishing port. Also within easy range is historic Marsala, with its old town centre full of wineries, the Phoenecian island of Mozia, the Greek temple and theatre of Segestaand Erice. Further south-east along the coast is the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.

The beaches in the area of Porto Palo-Menfi have received 13 consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.
