The Area
Zeffiro is the last villa in the sea front holiday community of Triscina. The house is actually just inside the archaeological park of Selinunte, and the views over sand and sea to the temple on the acropolis are breathtaking. One can walk down the beach and directly into the site.
There are several other sandy beaches along this stretch of coast. The nearby towns of Castelvetrano and Mazara del Vallo are full of historical interest, and Mazara in particular has a few good restaurants and pleasant bars. Further afield, Marsala, Trapani, Erice, Segesta and the like offer a huge choice of places to visit.
