The Experience
The high walls and antique door of this 17th-century fortified farmhouse protect a courtyard where pots, bougainvillea and shutters create a harmonious atmosphere. Inside all is full of colour and family history. The fine big dining room opens onto the orange grove, its table and Moroccan lights for summer suppers, and there’s a fireplace for winter evenings.
The library has a large collection of books in English and Italian and there are interesting pictures and objects which reflect the family’s worldwide travels. Bedrooms are light and spacious, the kitchen has everything you need for cooking but you can also hire a cook.
Join in with harvesting the olives in October, find a quiet spot to sit and read in the gardens, float in the big pool, play tennis, revel in the peace or head for the coast.

This is the most beautiful villa that feels like a home from home. It blends history with modern amenities seamlessly. The orangery is a delight - we enjoyed a number of meals out there and you can pick lemons from the tree for your gin and tonic! The swimming pool is lovely, a good size and kept spotlessly clean. If you are looking for a haven of peace and tranquility but not far from a bustling Italian town then this villa is a must. Just beautiful!

We had a fantastic stay in an elegant and well apportioned villa with everything you could have wished for to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The gardens, swimming pool and tennis court were perfect. Caroline and Marcelo were always at hand if we had a query and the information provided enabled us to explore with ease the surrounding area, with good restaurant recommendations and the like. We will look to return to a place that gave us a memorable time in a spectacular part of Sicily.

We had a most wonderful stay at Santa Maria. The house is beautiful and intriguing and so relaxing. The orange grove garden and the incredible pool were ideal for days spent at the house. The location was great for days out exploring local towns and beaches in this fascinating part of the island. We would highly recommend this place.

Location
The neighbourhood
When you book the owner will send you detailed information about what to do and where to go. Mazara has a beautiful baroque centre and the famous statue of the Dancing Satyr. You’re near the Egadi Islands for boat trips and you can taste wine in Mazara and Marsala.
Local points of interest from Caroline Manzo
- Relax by the 12x 6 swimming pool in the shade of ancient olive trees, surrounded by a lush Mediterranean garden. Enjoy a game of tennis on the private tennis court or stroll down the pine avenue to the 16th century watchtower within the grounds.
- Explore the beautiful coastline you can reach in just 10 minutes.. Go snorkelling in crystal clear waters at Granitola, hire a boat to go swimming around the beautiful coves and bays of the Egadi Islands or relax on one of the long sandy beaches nearby.
- Mazara, the town and fishing port is ten minutes away by car. Wander through the historic centre with its baroque squares and magnificent Cathedral or through the Kasbah to the fish market. Buy almond pastries from the cloistered nuns of the San Michele .
- Don’t miss the Museo del Satiro housing the world-famous Dancing Satyr, a stunningly beautiful bronze staue from the 4th century B.C. discovered by local fishermen. Watch the video telling the extraordinary story of its discovery and restoration.
- Neighboring Marsala, once the Roman Lilybaeum, famous as the landing point for Garibaldi, is the centre of the local wine industry, founded by the Enlish in the 18th century. Local wineries such as Florio and Pellegrino are open for tours and wine tasting.
- You are only half an hour’s drive from Selinunte, one of the largest archaeological sites of the Ancient Greek world. Visit the temples, enjoy the views over the sea, then catch a golf buggy to the Punic shrine on the outskirts of the site.

We loved our week at Santa Maria - the villa is exquisite, and it was one of the best weeks of our life. There were 6 people in our group, and everyone had plenty of room; we could spread out in the living areas and the well-equipped kitchen. We swam in the pool and enjoyed the considerable garden areas. We also played tennis and the sports equipment is well maintained. We ate our meals on the large wooden table in the private enclosed "Orangerie Courtyard" and I felt like it was something out of a movie set. We travelled from Australia to stay in the Villa, and it was beyond wonderful!
