We spent 10 days in the Villa Salinara ("Antica Residenza") in the end of September and wholeheartedly recommend this place! Yumi and Adriano welcomed us warmly and Adriano took the time to explain us everything about this part of Sicily, such as archeological sites, natural reserves, the most wonderful beaches and restaurants to try. He and his assistent Mangiu even carried us around the village to show us everything that could be necessary during our stay.

We must say, that already this part of Sicily is really worth visiting, but when it comes to the Villa Salinara, we were really, really amazed. Yumi and Adriano renovated and furnished this antique house with expertise and a wonderful attention for details. Each apartment has it's very own charme and it is very nice to go around and discover all those little details.

We found that a car was quite necessary in order to benefit from the nicest places around (Zingaro Park, the vivid town of Marsala, the greek temples of Selinunte or Segesta, etc.) and also to reach the really nice beaches (next to Vila Salinara, the sea is beautiful but not deep enough to swim).

All in all, this vacation was an anamazing experience that we warmly recommend to anybody who value a very special 'ambiente', wonderful nature, historic sites, good food and very open minded hosts. Thank you, Yumi, Adriano and Mangiu!
