A delightful beach-front summer house ensconced in a private nature reserve.

Profondo Blu takes its name from the enticing colour of the sea that gently caresses the long sandy expanse of beach below. Sun-baked Mediterranean maquis, shady trees and succulent plants make up the 15 hectares of private nature reserve that envelope the house in a cocoon of fragrant tranquility, providing the perfect retreat for those wishing to get away from the rigours of everyday life.

"Lots of great memories - from first opening the shutters in the morning to see the fantastic view to watching sunset with the smell of a bbq, a glass of chilled local vino and the music playing..." Simon Parker, UK, May 2012

About the Property


Inside: the house is all on one level and is accessed initially from a sheltered courtyard to the rear. The main body of the house is given over to a large, comfortable open-plan living and dining area with direct access to the sea-view terrace. Off this area is the well-equipped kitchen which also opens on to the sea terrace and the al fresco dining area. A corridor leads past the kitchen to the sleeping quarters comprised by 3 double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, and a second shared bathroom.

Outside: the focal point for guests at Profondo Blu is without doubt the large panoramic sea-view terrace. Cushioned sofas are arranged to maximise the views, while the al fresco dining areas is served directly from the indoor kitchen, an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven and a barbecue area. An easy path leads for about 50m from the terrace down to the sea gate and from there on to a series of delightful sandy beaches beyond. Even in the height of summer the beaches along this stretch of coast are sparsely populated. Behind the house is a large sheltered courtyard terrace, offering an alternative dining and relaxing area, and a cool pine wood that is part of the 15 hectares of pristine nature reserve - all yours to explore!

The Area

Exploring the local Area

The beauty and peace of your own personal nature reserve may make it difficult to pull yourselves away but you really should visit Selinunte and have a superb lunch or dinner on the beach at the restaurant La Pineta. Several of the towns nearby are also well worth a visit. Sciacca has a charming old centre, some great restaurants and a working port with a large fishing fleet that works the Mediterannean daily. Caltabellotta is spectacularly situated in the craggy hills overlooking both coast and interior, while Menfi is an up-and-coming centre of excellence for the wine trade... to name a few.

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.

"You do a stunningly good job."

Natalia Asheshov, United Kingdom, 28 October 2012
"Profondo Blu is a wonderful place to stay... We didn't ever want to leave to go sightseeing because it was such a paradise! We had the most relaxing holiday in an unparalled setting. Unforgettable!"

Petrus Goevaers, Netherlands, 20 October 2012
"For those who really like to disappear and be reborn in paradise, you must visit this Profondo Blu property. You will be sure that nobody can find you. You will find yourself in the most exquisite nature reserves and the villa is right in the middle of it. You cannot believe that you have really that view, that environment. On top of all that, the interior of the villa is very personal and precious, very tastefull. The kitchen has all utensils you can imagine and Michele and his wife did delicious shoppings for us. We had the perfect ingredients for our holiday. Profondu Blu is in our heart. We will never forget it."
