Steps lead down to the crystal clear waters below while the coves and bays of the nearby Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve are invitingly close at hand.

“The setting and access to the sea are amazing, the house consequently is perfectly good...August in Sicily is chaotic, but Funcia was a complete hide-away! Our holiday? Just perfect....private access to the sea, tranquility, and view of the Faraglioni, with use of only local shops was a great find.” James Noble, Italy, August 2011

The Area

Exploring the local Area

Set on the edge of the Golfo di Castellammare, Funcia occupies a very private spot on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Sicily.

The small town of Scopello just up the hill has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes. There are a few decent shops about 10 minutes' walk away.

The old tuna plant of Scopello, a few hundred metres along the coast from the villa, is in a very suggestive setting, and the Zingaro Nature Reserve offers a range of spectacular walks and some beautiful crystal clear bays for swimming. There is a diving centre in Scopello for scuba lovers and a pebbly beach with equipped lidos just a 5-minute drive away at Guidaloca.

The town of Castellammare, a few kilometres east, has several seafront bars and restaurants and a daily fish market.

The spectacular Elymian/Greek site of Segesta is about 20 minutes drive away and Erice, Palermo, Trapani and Selinunte can all be reached in under an hour.

"Really nice, informal house, beautifully kept and very friendly owners. Not grand/luxurious, but very comfortable and relaxed - and a wonderful setting."

Elizabeth O'Keefe, USA, 8 September 2012
"Funcia was outstanding. The position is superb and the garden very well maintained... We enjoyed the wonderful views and garden at the villa. It was wonderful having direct sea access and the sea was crystal clear."
