Villa Amina

Description

Sicily is a country where you go to appreciate the wonderful things in life: truly astounding architecture, crystalline waters, white sands, majestic mountains, the sun and of course, the renowned cuisine, which really does deserve its reputation. From the very best of fine dining to simply sumptuous street food, you won't go hungry on this island!

And located on the west coast, just an hour from Palermo, you'll discover all this and more from the comfort of your very own countryside villa near the sea. Made for unwinding in style, Villa Amina emanates a relaxed vibe. Ornamental gardens and wooden decking surround the generous swimming pool, where you can lay on a sun lounger, sit reading a book in one of the comfy chairs or dive into the cool waters - fun for everyone! You'll even find a full outdoor kitchen so you can carry on appreciating the alfresco life while cooking up a little Ragu-filled arancini or pasta with sardines.

You may want to play chef for the night. The long, traditional indoor kitchen is perfect for whipping up that evening supper, ready to serve in the open plan dining and living area. An elegant living space - the living room complete with warm rugs, vintage furnishings and squashy sofas still retains its chic minimalist style, as does the adjoining dining area - both located at the bottom of the grand sweeping staircase. How's that for an atmospheric experience...

The bedrooms carry on the theme. Minimalist whitewashed walls adorned with well-thought-out ornate pieces and dark wood furnishings, add character and flair - an inspirational place to lay your head. With three double bedrooms and a twin, it's ideal for larger families.

Want a long soak? You may want it to be as long as possible in one of the striking bathrooms. A large, grand room featuring gold accents, from the gilded mirror to the taps and furniture, this is one pleasant spot to have a bathe.

Villa Amina is a luxury villa, made for relaxing, but with all that lovely countryside surrounding you, it may tempt you to try out the property's bikes for a sightseeing cycle. Or you can venture into Mazara del Vallo with its historic centre of Baroque and Norman buildings. Meandering through the streets of this fabulous fishing port you'll get a real feel for the civilisations that have passed through. Just don't forget to sample a taste of the region - especially the seafood!

#### Location
It is said that "to have seen Italy without having seen Sicily, is to not have seen Italy at all." Which is quite surprising when you consider how many civilisations have conquered and passed through this fascinating island. Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, French, Spanish, British and more - they've all left their mark. And what remains is the most beautiful, diverse island of natural beauty and stunning reminders of the past...
Nowhere is that more evident than in the town of Mazara del Vallo, where you'll discover an amazing labyrinth North African Kasbah, a Norman cathedral, important Greek statues, traditional Italian piazzas and a stunning Sicilian beach. Soft white sand and crystalline waters abound. And, with the largest fishing fleet in Italy, you may want to opt for succulent seafood and fish at the many restaurants and trattorias around the city.
On the lovely west coast of Sicily, you can also visit the sweet city of Marsala, the capital of Palermo and even the jaw dropping Agrigento - a vast archaeological site featuring outstanding Greek temples. There's also many nature reserves nearby for an alluring day out.
