Marsala: the city of wine, the English and Garibaldi! |
|
Marsala is internationally famous for one thing: wine. Its inhabitants, however, while being extremely proud of their amber nectar, are equally enthusiastic about their town’s long, illustrious history.
The present-day name, deriving from the Arabic “Marsa Allah”, meaning “Port of God”, gives us an idea of just how strategically important the town once was. Before the Arabs, however, were the Romans, and before the Romans, the Carthaginians.... Villas near Marsala >>

Villa of the month: La Favorita |
|
The kind of place Garibaldi might have commandeered in on his arrival in Marsala, La Favorita would certainly have provided him with an excellent place for planning the big push through Sicily - peace and quiet, plenty of space for his lieutenants and cellars full of the golden stuff!
Nowadays, La Favorita is a top quality villa exclusively available for rent through Think Sicily (from March 2009). Sleeping up to 16., it is a fully-staffed oasis of calm and culture, with extensive gardens and two - yes two! - pools to choose from - one of which is heated! All in all a welcome addition to our thinkExquisite range!
Just relax in style and succumb to the on-tap pampering, or spend time exploring the lovely historic centre of Marsala, the fascinating ancient Phoenician island of Mozia, the glorious Egadi Islands and much, much more that the surrounding area has to offer.
