Overview

Refreshing summer breezes, shady terraces and never-ending sea views ... Cinnamon is a quintessential summer house and 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 walk down to the sandy beach below.

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.

The 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.

What clients have said about Cinnamon

"When the weather is kind, Cinammon is really the pefect place to while away the hours."
~ Alison Lopez-Edge - October 09

"As you say on the website this is the quintissential summer house - modest and simple but everything you need is there. The setting, peace and quiet are magical and I could have spent all day on the terrace just looking out towards Africa!"
~ Mrs Helen Sutton-Vidotto - July 09

"An excellent villa located in a beautiful location with a large garden that was perfect for us and our two small children. We loved the tranquility of the place and that we had the beach to ourselves most days. A very memorable spot!"
~ Ms Anita O'Connor - June 09
