The villa has two separate blocks. The sleeping area (with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) overlooks a romantic little lake, of which there is a picture postcard view from the corridor window.
The living area (with a large living/dining room and kitchen) has a delightful patio directly overlooking the swimming pool.
In both the living and sleeping areas large windows provide plenty of natural daylight, causing the environment to blend with the lovely surrounding nature.
The property is furnished with extreme care, including important pieces of handmade ethnic furniture.
The whole villa is surrounded by a wonderful garden.

Villa La Coloniale
by f.ajello
Villa La Coloniale
Western Sicily – Castelvetrano
6 sleeps
Lying within an extensive estate of olive and citrus trees, Villa La Coloniale is a perfect example of how functionality and good taste can be combined.
From the private car park (with ample space for three cars) a brief flight of steps flanked by vigorous clumps of papyrus leads up to the simple, but elegant facade of the house. Entering, you step into a welcoming living room with fireplace, furnished in ethnic style. Large windows look onto the gorgeous private garden stretching out behind the villa.
Outside two porticos, one for dining and barbecues, the other for relaxing and conversation, overlook a lawn, bordered by the drystone walls that are characteristic of the area, and with a beautiful azure swimming pool. Views stretch down the next valley as far as the sea.
The three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, are on the same level as the living room. There is also a comfortable kitchen, whose huge window floods it with light.

Le Arcate – Luxury villa in San Vito lo Capo
by f.ajello
the Pool
Le Arcate was built in the 1960s, although today it demonstrates little of this period, having been totally and radically reconstructed last year. This reconstruction, without a shadow of a doubt, has resulted in a villa of great prestige, and has created an ideal place for a peaceful holiday.
The villa lies at the beginning of the main road leading into the centre of San Vito Lo Capo, and is about 800 metres from the beach. If this sounds rather a long way away, bear in mind that its position ensures a level of peace and quiet that villas closer to the centre do not have, expecially in the months of July and August.
Pleasurable outdoor living is guaranteed by a large and carefully tended garden, with a pool ( 11×6) and two large furnished outdoor patios.
The villa is furnished with great taste, with an eye to ease and comfort — there is a TV in every room, and wireless internet – and services on offer include daily cleaning, and access to the spa, private beach and restaurant of a local hotel. All these combine to make Le Arcate the perfect place to stay for a totally relaxing and luxurious beach holiday….. versione italiana

L’antica Scuderia – luxury villa near Selinunte
by f.ajello
luxury villa in Castelvetrano
This fascinating villa was created out of the old stables of a villa, amid a grand feudal estate where citrus trees and olives grow in a verdant valley looking out to the distant blue sea of Selinunte.
The villa is a large stone house, surrounded by a gorgeous garden, overlooking a swimming pool with waterfall. Both restoration and style are outstanding in their attention to detail: the floors are of ancient terracotta interspersed with Sicilian majolica; there are comfortable and ample leather divans; and antique furniture is juxtaposed with curios from India and Morocco collected in the owner’s travels.
The the huge living area has three huge windows – originally entrances to the stables – and a balcony where once upon a time the hay was stacked. It now leads to a small study and to the sleeping area.
The peace of the place is rendered even more idyllic by an silvery waterfall fed by a small fountain in the garden and from a nearby lake.
A large patio looks onto the swimming pool and garden is the perfect place for spending summer evenings.
