Pool days beside the Trapani salt pans

Spend the morning beside Villa Elle’s saltwater pool, gather for lunch in the garden and watch the light change across the salt pans. The nearby windmills, birdlife and views towards the Egadi Islands give this corner of western Sicily its character.

Five double bedrooms in the main house and two in a nearby annexe make room for fourteen. Share the gardens and terraces, with a little more independence for those staying in the annexe, and head out to Trapani, Erice or Marsala during the week.

A week with family or friends: enjoy meals and swimming together, a day on an Egadi island and evenings among western Sicily’s towns.

Your villa stay

Bedrooms, the coast and getting around

Seven double bedrooms

All seven bedrooms have double beds. We recommend the layout for couples, friends or families happy to share doubles; twin beds are not advertised.

Main house and annexe

Five bedrooms are in the main house. The nearby annexe has two en-suite doubles, a shared kitchenette and its own patio, giving part of the group a place of their own.

Salt-pan scenery and beach days by car

The rocky shoreline is around 450 metres away, without confirmed private swimming access. Drive to a sandy beach, approximately 6 km away, for a day by the sea.

A car remains essential

A restaurant is approximately 750 metres away, but shopping, sandy beaches and most excursions need a car. Private gated parking is provided, and Trapani airport is only 12 km away.

Practical note: electricity is included up to 400 kWh per week; additional use costs €0.40 per kWh and air conditioning counts towards the allowance. The security deposit is €500 in cash and pets are not permitted.

From the villa

Days out in western Sicily

We recommend a week to enjoy the villa, the salt-pan landscape and a few days among western Sicily’s towns, beaches and islands.

Salt pans and history

Trapani’s old town and salt pans

Walk through Trapani’s old town, pause along the sea walls and enjoy the local food. Visit the salt pans for their windmills and changing light, with Erice’s hilltop streets on another leisurely outing.

Plan your Trapani day

Island day

A day on an Egadi island

Take a ferry to Favignana for cycling and coastal stops, choose small Levanzo for its harbour and walks, or give Marettimo a full day for mountain and sea scenery. Plan around the current ferry timetable.

Explore the Egadi Islands guide

Temples, hill towns and wine

Hilltop Erice, ancient Segesta or Marsala wine

Choose a day for Erice’s lanes and views, another for Segesta’s ancient temple, or visit Marsala for wine and a stroll through town. Each makes a rewarding outing followed by an afternoon at the villa.

Shape your western Sicily days

Sandy beach and coast

San Vito Lo Capo and the Zingaro coast

Enjoy San Vito Lo Capo’s sandy beach or walk the Zingaro coast. Check the reserve’s currently open routes before setting out; in summer, start early, carry water and allow time for parking.
