Description Soft Peach: Marsala

This dreamy villa in the west of Sicily is perfect for guests who want a truly relaxing trip. With plenty of space both inside and out, along with easy access to the gorgeous coastline, it's the perfect place to press pause and embrace island life.

The home is actually composed of the main house and a separate annex, so all the group can enjoy some peace and quiet. There's plenty of traditional charm throughout, from the pretty tiled kitchen to the collection of handsome antique furniture. And, the garden is just as fabulous – kick back on a lounger, before cooling off with a dip in the swimming pool. Then, when evening rolls around, you can fire up the barbeque for a delicious grilled feast – don't forget the prosecco.

Sun worshippers will be delighted that you can drive to the shoreline at Lido Boeo in just eight minutes for a day by the sand. The charming town of Marsala is also eight minutes away, where you'll find ancient ruins and some fascinating museums. And, the Stagnone Nature Reserve is only ten minutes away by car, where you can admire the windmills surrounded by salt pans.
