The ExpertoItaly view

Long pool days and meals together outdoors

Villa Carusa invites you to settle into the garden: swim in the 16-metre pool, find a shady seat and gather around the outdoor dining table. The covered kitchen, with oven, fridge, dishwasher and barbecue, makes lunch or dinner outdoors part of daily life.

Three en-suite bedrooms in the main house and two doubles in separate annexes give couples and different generations space of their own. A Turkish bath and fitness area add to days spent at the villa, with Trapani, Marsala and the coast nearby for outings.

For a week together: share the villa with family or friends, alternating time by the pool with local food, wine and days in western Sicily.

Location

Between Trapani, Marsala and the Egadi Islands

From the villa near Marausa and Misiliscemi, drive into Trapani for its old town and harbour, visit Marsala for wine and handsome streets, or head to Erice and Segesta. A week here gives you time to enjoy western Sicily alongside the pool and garden.

The villa occupies a quiet residential setting, with a sandy beach approximately 3 km away and Trapani Airport around 10 km from the house.

From the villa

Days out in western Sicily

Choose a few outings to enjoy alongside leisurely days at the villa: islands, hill towns, wine country and ancient sites are all within reach.

Town and islands

Trapani and the Egadi Islands

Explore Trapani’s old town and waterfront, or take a separate day across the water to Favignana or Levanzo. Giving an island a full day leaves time to enjoy its coast and village life.

Plan western Sicily

Wine and salt pans

Marsala and the lagoon

Visit Marsala for a winery tasting and a walk through the centre, then explore the salt pans or take a boat trip on the lagoon. Leave time to enjoy the light and landscape.

Explore Sicily

Hill town

A half-day in Erice

Choose a clear day for Erice’s hilltop views, wander the stone lanes and stop at a pastry shop. Take a light layer: the hill can feel cooler than the coast.

Archaeology

Segesta’s temple and theatre

Spend a morning among Segesta’s ancient buildings and open countryside, then enjoy lunch nearby or return for an afternoon by the pool.
